  2. Anodic aluminium oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anodic_aluminium_oxide

    Anodic aluminum oxide, anodic aluminum oxide (AAO), or anodic alumina is a self-organized form of aluminum oxide that has a honeycomb-like structure formed by high density arrays of uniform and parallel pores. The diameter of the pores can be as low as 5 nanometers and as high as several hundred nanometers, and length can be controlled from few ...

  3. Wood preservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_preservation

    Apart from structural wood preservation measures, there are a number of different chemical preservatives and processes (also known as timber treatment, lumber treatment or pressure treatment) that can extend the life of wood, timber, and their associated products, including engineered wood. These generally increase the durability and resistance ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_paint

    Low-VOC paint types include latex (water-based), recycled latex (water-based), acrylic, and milk paint. [1] [2] The labels of paint cans can be checked for the following information: To be considered low-VOC, the paint should contain <50 g/L of VOC. [citation needed] To be considered zero-VOC, the paint should contain <5 g/L of VOC. [citation ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_food_contamination...

    An "incident" of chemical food contamination may be defined as an episodic occurrence of adverse health effects in humans (or animals that might be consumed by humans) following high exposure to particular chemicals, or instances where episodically high concentrations of chemical hazards were detected in the food chain and traced back to a particular event.

  6. Fouling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fouling

    The food industry, [12] for example milk processing, [13] [14] also experiences fouling problems by chemical reactions. Fouling through an ionic reaction with an evolution of an inorganic solid is commonly classified as precipitation fouling (not chemical reaction fouling).

  7. Wood finishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_finishing

    Wood finishing starts with sanding either by hand, typically using a sanding block or power sander, scraping, or planing. Imperfections or nail holes on the surface may be filled using wood putty or pores may be filled using wood filler. Often, the wood's color is changed by staining, bleaching, or any of a number of other techniques.

  8. Corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion

    Galvanic corrosion of an aluminium plate occurred when the plate was connected to a mild steel structural support.. Galvanic corrosion occurs when two different metals have physical or electrical contact with each other and are immersed in a common electrolyte, or when the same metal is exposed to electrolyte with different concentrations.

  9. Aluminium oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_oxide

    Aluminium oxide (or aluminium(III) oxide) is a chemical compound of aluminium and oxygen with the chemical formula Al 2 O 3. It is the most commonly occurring of several aluminium oxides, and specifically identified as aluminium oxide. It is commonly called alumina and may also be called aloxide, aloxite, or alundum in various forms and ...
