  2. Polymer stabilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_stabilizer

    A wide range of stabilizers is therefore needed. The market for antioxidant stabilisers alone was estimated at US$1.69 billion for 2017, [3] with the total market for all polymer stabilizers expected to reach US$6.5 billion by 2033. In 2023, almost half of all polymer stabilizers sold worldwide were based on calcium, followed by lead (25.1 % ...

  3. Zinc oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_oxide

    Zinc oxide is an inorganic compound with the formula Zn O.It is a white powder which is insoluble in water. ZnO is used as an additive in numerous materials and products including cosmetics, food supplements, rubbers, plastics, ceramics, glass, cement, lubricants, [12] paints, sunscreens, ointments, adhesives, sealants, pigments, foods, batteries, ferrites, fire retardants, semi conductors ...

  4. Polyvinyl chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_chloride

    The heat stability of raw PVC is very poor, so the addition of a heat stabilizer during the process is necessary in order to ensure the product's properties. Traditional product PVC has a maximum operating temperature around 60 °C (140 °F) when heat distortion begins to occur.

  5. Heat-shrink tubing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat-shrink_tubing

    PVC tubes are usually lower cost than other materials. [1] PVC takes colors exceptionally well and is available in nearly unlimited colors both opaque and transparent. PVC can be used outdoors with the addition of a UV stabilizer. [citation needed] PVC heat-shrink tends to burn if touched with a soldering iron. [10]

  6. Calcium stearate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_stearate

    2 C 17 H 35 COOH + CaO → (C 17 H 35 COO) 2 Ca + H 2 O. It is also the main component of soap scum, a white solid that forms when soap is mixed with hard water. Unlike soaps containing sodium and potassium, calcium stearate is insoluble in water and does not lather well. [2] Commercially it is sold as a 50% dispersion in water or as a spray ...

  7. Electrical conduit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_conduit

    PVC conduit has long been considered the lightest in weight compared to steel conduit materials, and usually lower in cost than other forms of conduit. [3] In North American electrical practice, it is available in thirteen different size and wall thicknesses, [ 4 ] with the thin-wall variety only suitable for embedded use in concrete, and ...

  8. Suspension polymerization - Wikipedia

    d is the average particle size, k includes parameters related to the reaction vessel design, D v is the reaction vessel diameter, D s is the diameter of the stirrer, R is the volume ratio of the monomer to the liquid matrix, N is the stirring speed, ν m and ν l are the viscosity of the monomer phase and liquid matrix respectively, ε is the ...

  9. Thermoplastic-sheathed cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic-sheathed_cable

    The type of thermoplastic, the dimensions of the conductors and the colour of their individual insulation (if any) are specified by the regulatory bodies in the various countries concerned. [1] Thermoplastic-sheathed cable is more vulnerable to rodent damage and accidental mechanical damage than wiring within electrical conduit or armoured cable.
