  2. Photographic fixer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_fixer

    Fixation is commonly achieved by treating the film or paper with a solution of thiosulfate salt. Popular salts are sodium thiosulfate—commonly called hypo—and ammonium thiosulfate—commonly used in modern rapid fixer formulae. [1] Fixation by thiosulfate involves these chemical reactions (X = halide, typically Br −): [2]

  3. Anti-set-off spray powder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-set-off_spray_powder

    The diameter of the powder used is relative to the density (g/m 2) of the stock (paper or board) being printed. For 150 g/m 2 paper the ideal anti-set-off spray powder would be 15 μm in diameter, for 200 g/m 2 20 μm, through to 70 μm for heavy board (700 g/m 2). Most manufactures of spray powder offer both coated and uncoated powders.

  4. Hectograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hectograph

    The hectograph, gelatin duplicator or jellygraph is a printing process that involves transfer of an original, prepared with special inks, to a pan of gelatin or a gelatin pad pulled tight on a metal frame. [1] While the original use of the technology has diminished, it has recently been revived for use in the art world.

  5. Gelatin silver print - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelatin_silver_print

    A gelatin silver print is composed of four layers: paper base, baryta, gelatin binder, and a protective gelatin layer or overcoat. The multi-layer structure of the gelatin silver print and the sensitivity of the silver imaging salts require specialized coating equipment and fastidious manufacturing technique to produce a consistent product that ...

  6. Ballistic gelatin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_gelatin

    Ballistic gelatin is traditionally a solution of gelatin powder in water. Ballistic gelatin closely simulates the density and viscosity of human and animal muscle tissue, and is used as a standardized medium for testing the terminal performance of firearms ammunition. While ballistic gelatin does not model the tensile strength of muscles or the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laundry_detergent

    Laundry detergent is manufactured in powder (washing powder) and liquid form. While powdered and liquid detergents hold roughly equal share of the worldwide laundry detergent market in terms of value , powdered detergents are sold twice as much compared to liquids in terms of volume .

  8. Detergent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detergent

    Detergents. A detergent is a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants with cleansing properties when in dilute solutions. [1] There are a large variety of detergents. A common family is the alkylbenzene sulfonates, which are soap-like compounds that are more soluble than soap in hard water, because the polar sulfonate is less likely than the polar carboxylate of soap to bind to calcium and other ...

  9. Thickening agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thickening_agent

    Potato starch slurry Roux. A thickening agent or thickener is a substance which can increase the viscosity of a liquid without substantially changing its other properties. Edible thickeners are commonly used to thicken sauces, soups, and puddings without altering their taste; thickeners are also used in paints, inks, explosives, and cosmetics.
