  2. Rice hull - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_hull

    Rice husk ash has long been used in ceramic glazes in rice growing regions in the Far East, e.g. China and Japan. [2] Being about 95% silica, it is an easy way of introducing the necessary silica into the glaze, and the small particle size helps with an early melt of the glaze.

  4. Spray foam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_foam

    Spray foam insulation or spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is an alternative to traditional building insulation such as fiberglass. A two-component mixture composed of isocyanate and polyol resin comes together at the tip of a gun, and forms an expanding foam that is sprayed onto roof tiles, concrete slabs, into wall cavities, or through holes ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyisocyanurate

    The generalised chemical structure of polyisocyanurate showing the isocyanurate group. The polyols are abbreviated as R-groups.. Polyisocyanurate (/ ˌ p ɒ l ɪ ˌ aɪ s oʊ s aɪ ˈ æ nj ʊər eɪ t /), also referred to as PIR, polyol, or ISO, is a thermoset plastic [1] typically produced as a foam and used as rigid thermal insulation.

    This is important if space is limited, because it allows a thinner layer of insulation to be used. For example, a 1-inch layer of closed-cell foam provides about the same insulation factor as 2 inches of open-cell foam. Closed-cell foam is very strong, and structurally reinforces the insulated surface.

    Flattened rice is a preparation of rice made from raw, toasted, or parboiled rice grains pounded into flat flakes. [1] It is traditional to many rice-cultivating cultures in Southeast Asia and South Asia. [2] It is also known as rice flakes, [3] beaten rice, pounded rice, pressed rice [2] or chipped rice.

  9. Vacuum insulated panel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_insulated_panel

    A vacuum insulated panel (VIP) is a form of thermal insulation consisting of a gas-tight enclosure surrounding a rigid core, from which the air has been evacuated. It is used in building construction, refrigeration units, and insulated shipping containers to provide better insulation performance than conventional insulation materials. [1] [2]
