2. Polycarbonate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycarbonate

   Other applications, including polycarbonate sheets, may have the anti-UV layer added as a special coating or a coextrusion for enhanced weathering resistance. Polycarbonate is also used as a printing substrate for nameplate and other forms of industrial grade under printed products. The polycarbonate provides a barrier to wear, the elements ...

3. Twinwall plastic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twinwall_plastic

   Although single layer polycarbonate sheeting is more flexible than polycarbonate in twinwall configuration, it still retains significant advantages over alternative materials, including glass. A typical 6mm sheet has a density of 0.72 g/cm^2 [6] and a thermal insulation R value of 0.3 m^2°C/W, while allowing 80% of visible light pass through. [7]

4. Aluminum building wiring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminum_building_wiring

   The use of larger gauge stranded aluminum wire (larger than #8 AWG) is fairly common in much of North America for modern residential construction. Aluminum wire is used in residential applications for lower voltage service feeders from the utility to the building. This is installed with materials and methods as specified by the local electrical ...

5. Plastic extrusion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_extrusion

   A common post-extrusion process for plastic sheet stock is thermoforming, where the sheet is heated until soft (plastic), and formed via a mold into a new shape. When vacuum is used, this is often described as vacuum forming. Orientation (i.e. ability/ available density of the sheet to be drawn to the mold which can vary in depths from 1 to 36 ...

6. Plastic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic

   A study from 2024 found that compared to glass and aluminum, plastic may actually have less of a negative effect on the environment and therefore might be the best option for must food packaging and other common uses. [126] The study found that, "replacing plastics with alternatives is worse for greenhouse gas emissions in most cases."

7. Cross-linked polyethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-linked_polyethylene

   A cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipe. Cross-linked polyethylene, commonly abbreviated PEX, XPE or XLPE, is a form of polyethylene with cross-links.It is used predominantly in building services pipework systems, hydronic radiant heating and cooling systems, domestic water piping, insulation for high tension (high voltage) electrical cables, and baby play mats.
