  2. Butyl rubber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butyl_rubber

    Butyl rubber sealant is used for damp proofing, rubber roof repair and for maintenance of roof membranes (especially around the edges). It is important [citation needed] to have the roof membrane fixed, as a lot of fixtures (e.g., air conditioner vents, plumbing, and other pipes) can considerably loosen it.

  3. New car smell - Wikipedia

    New car smell is an odor that is commonly encountered in the interiors of new automobiles and other vehicles. The smell is caused by gases emitted from various manufactured materials, such as leather , plastics and textiles .

  4. Pipe insulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_insulation

    The application of thermal pipe insulation introduces thermal resistance and reduces the heat flow. Thicknesses of thermal pipe insulation used for saving energy vary, but as a general rule, pipes operating at more-extreme temperatures exhibit a greater heat flow and larger thicknesses are applied due to the greater potential savings.

  5. Exhaust gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_gas

    The largest part of most combustion gas is nitrogen (N 2), water vapor (H 2 O) (except with pure-carbon fuels), and carbon dioxide (CO 2) (except for fuels without carbon); these are not toxic or noxious (although water vapor and carbon dioxide are greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change).

    Hummus was the top source with 802 illnesses, the CDC reported. Another Salmonella outbreak was linked to frozen pot pies that sickened 401 people. The second biggest outbreak was connected to 526 ...

  7. Blowing agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowing_agent

    The cellular structure in a matrix reduces density, increasing thermal and acoustic insulation, while increasing relative stiffness of the original polymer. Blowing agents (also known as 'pneumatogens') or related mechanisms to create holes in a matrix producing cellular materials, have been classified as follows:

  8. Muffler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muffler

    Silencer (silver) and exhaust pipe on a Ducati motorcycle A silencer cut open to show the insulation, chambers and piping inside the shell. A muffler (North American and Australian English) [1] or silencer (British English) is a device for reducing the noise emitted by the exhaust of an internal combustion engine—especially a noise-deadening device forming part of the exhaust system of an ...

  9. Corrosion under insulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_under_insulation

    Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is a severe form of localized external corrosion that occurs in carbon and low alloy steel equipment that has been insulated. This form of corrosion occurs when water is absorbed by or collected in the insulation. The equipment begins to corrode as it is exposed to water and oxygen.
