  2. Epoxy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoxy

    These co-reactants are often referred to as hardeners or curatives, and the cross-linking reaction is commonly referred to as curing. Reaction of polyepoxides with themselves or with polyfunctional hardeners forms a thermosetting polymer , often with favorable mechanical properties and high thermal and chemical resistance.

    Gilbert cloud chamber, assembled An alternative view of kit contents. The lab contained a cloud chamber allowing the viewer to watch alpha particles traveling at 12,000 miles per second (19,000,000 m/s), a spinthariscope showing the results of radioactive disintegration on a fluorescent screen, and an electroscope measuring the radioactivity of different substances in the set.

  4. Paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint

    A chemical (typically a solvent) can be sprayed along with the paint to dissolve together both the delivered paint and the chemicals on the surface of the object being painted; Some chemical reactions in paint involve the orientation of the paint molecules. Expression [clarification needed]

  5. Conservation and restoration of paintings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_and...

    There is solvent-based and water-based. Solvent-based acrylic paints are soluble in mineral spirits, and water-based acrylic paints are water-soluble. Acrylic paint differs from oil paint in both its quick drying time, and how the paint dries. Acrylic paint dries in as little as thirty minutes, and dries by the evaporation of the solvent or ...

  6. Calcium Lime Rust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_Lime_Rust

    The general reaction can be represented as follows: CaCO 3 + 2H + → Ca + 2 + CO 2 + H 2 O. Here, H + represents the hydrogen ions provided by the acid. The calcium ions (Ca + 2) and carbon dioxide (CO 2) are formed, which helps in the easy removal of the deposit.

  7. Pentaerythritol tetraacrylate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentaerythritol_tetraacrylate

    [3] [4] The molecule's acrylate group functionality enables the molecule to do the Michael reaction with amines. It is therefore sometimes used in epoxy chemistry enabling a large reduction in cure time. [5] As the molecule has 4 functional acrylate groups it confers high cross-link density.

  8. γ-Butyrolactone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Γ-butyrolactone

    Gamma-Butyrolactone is used as a chemical solvent and a cleaning agent, [15] for example in paint stripping or for cleaning graffiti. [16] Butyrolactone is a precursor to other chemicals. Reaction with methylamine gives NMP, and with ammonia gives pyrrolidone. It is also used as a solvent in lotions and some polymers. [5]

  9. Nitrous oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrous_oxide

    2 O is inert at room temperature and has few reactions. At elevated temperatures, its reactivity increases. For example, nitrous oxide reacts with NaNH 2 at 187 °C (369 °F) to give NaN 3: 2 NaNH 2 + N 2 O → NaN 3 + NaOH + NH 3. This reaction is the route adopted by the commercial chemical industry to produce azide salts, which are used as ...
