2. Superhydrophobic coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superhydrophobic_coating

   A superhydrophobic coating is a thin surface layer that repels water. It is made from superhydrophobic (also known as ultrahydrophobic) materials, and typically cause an almost imperceptibly thin layer of air to form on top of a surface. Droplets hitting this kind of coating can fully rebound.

3. Quench polish quench - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quench_polish_quench

   Quench polish quench (QPQ) is a specialized type of nitrocarburizing case hardening that increases corrosion resistance. It is sometimes known by the brand name of Tufftride, Tenifer or Melonite. [1] Three steps are involved: nitrocarburize ("quench"), polish, and post-oxidize ("quench"). [2]

4. Sealing wax - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealing_wax

   Since the advent of a postal system, the use of sealing wax has become more for ceremony than security. Modern times have required new styles of wax, allowing for mailing of the seal without damage or removal. These new waxes are flexible for mailing and are referred to as glue-gun sealing wax, faux sealing wax and flexible sealing wax.

5. Aerolite (adhesive) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerolite_(adhesive)

   Further research showed that gap-bridging hardeners incorporating formic acid enabled Aerolite to be used as an assembly adhesive. Aerolite was the first adhesive of its type to be invented and manufactured in Britain and used in resin-bonded plywood. [1] When World War II broke out, the small company began to grow.

6. Sealant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealant

   Sealant is a substance used to block the passage of fluids through openings in materials, [1] a type of mechanical seal. In building construction sealant is sometimes synonymous with caulk (especially if acrylic latex or polyurethane based) [ 2 ] and also serve the purposes of blocking dust, sound and heat transmission.

7. Sealcoat - Wikipedia

   Again, refined tar-based sealer offers the best wear characteristics (typically 3–5 years) while asphalt-based sealer may last 1–3 years. Petroleum-based sealer falls between refined tar and asphalt. There are concerns about pavement sealer polluting the environment after it is abraded from the surface of the pavement.

8. Wax emulsion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_emulsion

   Strictly speaking a wax emulsion should be called a wax dispersion since the wax is solid at room temperature. However, because the preparation takes place above the melting point of the wax, the actual process is called emulsification, hence the name wax emulsion. In praxis, wax dispersion is used for solvent based systems.

9. Microcrystalline wax - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcrystalline_wax

   Typical microcrystalline wax crystal structure is small and thin, making them more flexible than paraffin wax. It is commonly used in cosmetic formulations. [2] Microcrystalline waxes when produced by wax refiners are typically produced to meet a number of ASTM specifications. These include congeal point (ASTM D938), needle penetration (ASTM ...
