  2. Hydroxyapatite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxyapatite

    Nano-hydroxyapatite was proven to be better than other treatments at reducing sensitivity against evaporative stimuli, such as an air blast, and tactile stimuli, such as tapping the tooth with a dental instrument. However, no difference was seen between nano-hydroxyapatite and other treatments for cold stimuli. [30]

  3. List of commercially available roofing materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_commercially...

    Standing-seam metal roof with concealed fasteners. Mechanically seamed metal with concealed fasteners contains sealant in seams for use on very low sloped roofs, suitable for roofs of low pitch such as 0.5/12 to 3/12 pitch. Flat-seam metal with or without soldered seams. Steel coated with a coloured alloy of zinc and aluminium. Stone-coated ...

  4. Soft washing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_washing

    Soft washing is a cleaning method using low pressure water. More recently, the term "softwashing" has been used to describe any form of spraying chemicals at buildings where solutions (typically sodium hypochlorite based softwashing chemicals) are used to remove mildew, bacteria, algae and other organic stains from roofs and other building exteriors.

  5. Roof cleaning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_cleaning

    Roof cleaning is the process of removing algae, [1] mold, mildew, lichen and moss from roofs. [2] Also cleaning oxidation on metal roofs. Cleaning can extend the duration of a roof's ability to function. [2] Algae and other types of build-up often form on the north and west parts of roofs that are shaded or receive less sun, and can reduce a ...

  6. Superhydrophobic coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superhydrophobic_coating

    In contrast, the oxide polystyrene composites are more durable than the gel-based coatings, however the process fof applying the coating is much more involved and costly. Carbon nano-tubes are also expensive and difficult to produce with current technology. Thus, the silica-based gels remain the most economically viable option at present.

  7. Nanocomposite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanocomposite

    These results suggest that inorganic nanomaterials, in general, may be better reinforcing agents compared to carbon nanotubes. Another kind of nanocomposite is the energetic nanocomposite, generally as a hybrid sol–gel with a silica base, which, when combined with metal oxides and nano-scale aluminum powder, can form superthermite materials.

  8. Stain removal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stain_removal

    Alkaline stain removers are mostly used in the removal of oil-based stains via the process of saponification. [6] Sodium hydroxide is also commonly used in drain cleaners. It allows grease and other oils to dissolve into aqueous solutions like water. Other alkalis such as potassium hydroxide (much stronger than sodium hydroxide) are also used ...

  9. SAE 304 stainless steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_304_stainless_steel

    It has a higher corrosion resistance than regular steel and is widely used because of the ease in which it is formed into various shapes. [1] The composition was developed by W. H. Hatfield at Firth Brown in 1924 and was marketed under the trade name "Staybrite 18/8". [2] It is specified by SAE International as part of its SAE steel grades.
