  2. Environmental stress cracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_stress_cracking

    A number of different methods are used to evaluate a polymer's resistance to environmental stress cracking. A common method in the polymer industry is use of the Bergen jig, which subjects the sample to variable strain during a single test. The results of this test indicate the critical strain to cracking, using only one sample. [5]

  3. Polycarbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycarbonate

    extrusion with cylinders into sheets (0.5–20 mm (0.020–0.787 in)) and films (below 1 mm (0.039 in)), which can be used directly or manufactured into other shapes using thermoforming or secondary fabrication techniques, such as bending, drilling, or routing. Due to its chemical properties it is not conducive to laser-cutting.

  4. Troubleshooting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting is a form of problem solving, often applied to repair failed products or processes on a machine or a system. It is a logical, systematic search for the source of a problem in order to solve it, and make the product or process operational again. Troubleshooting is needed to identify the symptoms.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_barrier

    Polyethylene plastic sheet, 4 or 6 thou (0.10 or 0.15 mm), 0.03 US perm (1.7 SI perm). Advanced Polyethylene vapor retarders that pass the ASTM E 1745 standard tests ≤0.3 US perm (17 SI perm). Asphalt-coated kraft paper , often attached to one side of fiberglass batts, 0.40 US perm (22 SI perm).

  6. Plastic extrusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_extrusion

    A common post-extrusion process for plastic sheet stock is thermoforming, where the sheet is heated until soft (plastic), and formed via a mold into a new shape. When vacuum is used, this is often described as vacuum forming. Orientation (i.e. ability/ available density of the sheet to be drawn to the mold which can vary in depths from 1 to 36 ...

    Almost all the brands we tested had plastic-free packaging. Finally, manufacturers often donate to green causes. So on the face of it, detergent sheets do come across as more eco-friendly, but the ...

  9. Vinyl polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_polymer

    Vinyl polymers are subject of several structural variations, which greatly expands the range of polymers and their applications. With the exception of polyethylene, vinyl polymers can arise from head-to-tail linking of monomers, head-to-head combined with tail-to-tail, or a mixture of those two patterns. Additionally the substituted carbon center in such polymers is stereogenic (a "chiral center")
