A substance added in small amounts to something else to improve, strengthen, or otherwise alter it. In plastics, it is used to modify the behavior during processing or to impart useful properties to fabricated plastic articles.

Aliphatic technology

Aliphatic technology provides greater UV protection, color fastness and anti-chalking properties and is designed to extend the life of exposed aromatic polyurethanes. Multithane ATC forms a tough, flexible, seamless, highly UV stable, waterproof coating. Aliphatic polyesters on the other hand are readily biodegradable, but lack good mechanical properties that are critical for most applications. All polyesters degrade eventually, with hydrolysis (degradation induced by water) being the dominant mechanism.

Antistatic Agent

An compound which minimizes static electricity in plastics; may consist of chemical additives or metallic devices connected to an electrical ground. They eliminate charge build-up and dust collection. An example of this is Glycerine-Monostearate.

Antioxidants

Antioxidants are substances which fight the negative effects of oxygen on the body. The body needs oxygen but it also damages the body tissue, producing substances called free radicals. Antioxidants is a term referring to the function of a group of substances in combating Free Oxygen Radicals. Free Radicals are compounds that have an unopposed electrical charge due to electrons and that are highly reactive and unstable. Antioxidants are naturally-occurring compounds in food that help prevent cell damage in the body. Cell damage may occur from molecules called free radicals.

Aromatic Medicine

Aromatic Medicine is a form of holistic medicine based on Aromatherapy . Strong smelling oils, known as essential oils, are used to treat patients. Aromatic analytes such as sulfamethoxazole and metoprolol exhibited strong retention differences when methanol was used where as nalidixic acid (which is non-aromatic) showed little or no change. Both the methanol and acetonitrile containing mobile phases were adjusted to equal eluotropic strength. Aromatic choline esters (quaternary ammonium compounds) are found especially in plants.

B

Bale

Bale is the Balinese term for a pavilion. The "Bale' Bengong" comprising four posts, a platform and hip roof, is used traditionally as a retreat from the heat of the day. Bales are made from waste straw that would otherwise be burned, creating greenhouse gas emission. The thick, low-oxygen walls have 10 times the insulation factor of a double brick cavity wall, requiring less heating and cooling.

Biodegradable

Solid materials that will degrade as a result of natural bacteria activity and will disappear into the environment over a period of time.

Bisphenol A, or BPA

Bisphenol A, or BPA, is a chemical found in a vast array of food and drink packaging. Concerns about baby bottles containing BPA have put it in the spotlight recently. Bisphenol A is a chemical commonly used in the manufacture of clear polycarbonate plastic. It is one of the top 50 products produced by the chemical industry, generating revenues in the order of $6 million per day in the United States, Europe, and Japan alone. Bisphenol A has shown in rat studies to effect reproductive and fertility function. Pregnant or expecting mothers need to be particular aware of this problem as it could have similar effects in humans.

Block copolymers

Block copolymers suitable for the practice of the present invention are well known and are readily prepared and are commercially available. A particularly desirable manner of making block copolymers is by the use of multifunctional lithium containing initiators. Block copolymers are an important sub-class of copolymers consisting of polymers of different chemistry that are covalently linked. Block copolymers are interesting because they can "microphase separate" to form periodic nanostructures, as in the styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer shown at right. The polymer is known as Kraton and is used for shoe soles and adhesives.

Blow Molding

A method of manufacturing hollow plastic objects, such as bottles, by forcing a tube into a mold cavity and shaping by internal air pressure. Also known as blow forming, is a manufacturing process by which hollow plastic parts are formed. It is a process used to produce hollow objects from thermoplastic. In general, there are three main types of blow molding: extrusion blow molding, injection blow molding, and stretch blow molding.

C

Catalyst

A substance which aids or promotes a chemical reaction without forming part of the final product. It enables the reaction to take place faster or at a lower temperature, and remains unchanged at the end of the reaction. The catalyst may participate in multiple chemical transformations. Catalysts that speed the reaction are called positive catalysts. Catalysts that slow down the reaction are called negative catalysts or inhibitors. Substances that increase the activity of catalysts are called promoters and substances that deactivate catalysts are called catalytic poisons.

Co-extrusion

It refers to the extrusion of multiple layers of material simultaneously. This type of extrusion utilizes two or more extruders to melt and deliver a steady volumetric throughput of different viscous plastics to a single extrusion head (die) which will extrude the materials in the desired form.

Combustion

Combustion is observed in a windowed bomb with high speed, sequence or spectral photography where thin film thermocouples can be used to measure temperature profiles. Ancillary equipment includes an interrupt bomb to provide samples for scanning electron microscopy, and a sapphire windowed bomb which allows observation of some sub-surface processes. Combustion losses are either fuel losses that increase toward the fuel-rich end or air losses where heat energy is wasted by heating excess air that is lost through the flue. Excess air results in the flue gases containing ‘free’ oxygen. Combustion control systems can be supplied either as stand alone units or for interfacing with the customer’s distributed control system.

Combustion engine fuels

Combustion engine fuels include sulfur components that are converted to Sulfur Dioxide during combustion. Annually millions of tons of Sulfur Dioxide are released and damage the environment by means of smog or acid rain. Combustion is a vector paint, animation, 3D compositing and visual effects application, which can be used to put quality-looking finishing touches and visual effects to broadcast, film and video projects. However, combustion is capable of far more than this. Combustion 4 offers an easy-to-use interface, non-destructive workflow, and extensive toolset designed to help you bring your imagination to life while getting your work done faster.

Ko-Kneaders and twin screws (co- and counter rotating) as well internal mixers are the most common used compounder in the plastic industries.

Containerization

Containerization is a difficult problem, but one that is getting attention. OpenVZ already has thousands of systems out there, and a big presence in the virtual private server industry.

D

Densification

It is a process of compaction/compression of something that lowers the volume-to-weight ratio in order to reduce shipping costs, like baling.

Dioxin

Dioxin is accumulated in fat, so if you lose weight, you lose some with the fat. If you're breastfeeding, you get rid of it through the breast milk. Dioxins are also generated in reactions that do not involve burning, Affected compounds include the wood preservative pentachlorophenol , and also herbicide s such as 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (or 2,4-D) and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T). Dioxins are carcinogens and highly toxic to the cells of our bodies.

Discards

Durometer

Durometer is something to pay attention to when choosing the right tubing for your application. In some cases, you can use thinner wall tubing with a higher durometer to maintain the same kink-resistance as thicker softer tubing. Durometer is typically used as a measure of hardness in polymers, elastomers and rubbers. Durometer is a dimensionless quantity, and there is no simple relationship between a material's durometer in one scale, and its durometer in any other scale, or by any other hardness test.

Statical correlation is important for molecules where the ground state is well described only with more than one (nearly-)degenerate determinants. Dynamical correlation is the correlation of the movement of electrons and is described with the CI method. Statistical correlation is important for molecules where the ground state is well described only with more than one (nearly-)degenerate determinants.

E

ECF (Elemental Chlorine-Free)

ECF is not the best, but its better than most. ECF refers to paper, when wood is mashed into a pulp, the paper is bleached, usually using chlorine in the process. ECF paper is better because the bleaching process does not use chlorine gas. The result is significantly reduced dioxins, but does not eliminate them. TCF (Totally Clorine Free) and PCF (Processed Chlorine Free) are the best and are used whenever possible.

Emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs)

Emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), however, nearly doubled over the same period of time. Atmospheric OH burdens and methane concentrations were affected by this major change in BVOC emissions, with methane lifetimes increasing by more than 2 years from LGM to the present. Emissions of total VOCs, ethanol, and some other species appeared to be a function of the beer feed rate, although the relationship was not reliable enough to develop a production rate-based emissions factor.

Endocrine

Endocrine forms of secondary hypertension, such as pheochromocytoma and Cushing's disease, are extremely uncommon. Conversely, primary aldosteronism now occurs with sufficient frequency so as to be considered "top of the list" for secondary endocrine causes in otherwise difficult-to-treat or resistant hypertension. Endocrine glands, on the other hand, release more than 20 major hormones directly into the bloodstream where they can be transported to cells in other parts of the body. Endocrine tissue ceils secrete hormones, which travel through the bloodstream to other target cells where the hormones regulate the function of those cells. Metabolism, growth, and sexual development are all regulated by these hormones.

Economic activity

Economic activity is the production of goods and services. Economic activity may produce either marketed or non-marketed goods and services (products). Economists usually teach that to some degree recession is unavoidable, and its causes are not well understood. Consequently, modern government administrations attempt to take steps, also not agreed upon, to soften a recession. Economists and investors look at the report to get a sense of how the economy is performing: If durable goods orders are strong, then often the economy is doing well.

Energy Recovery

The method of recovering the thermal energy from liquid or gaseous waste streams to make up air and water intakes. The thermal energy generally is recovered through the use of heat exchangers that extract the energy from the hot combustion gases. Large electric power production facilities, including modern waste-to-energy plants, that supply needed power to our homes, hospitals and factories, maximize thermal energy recovery efficiency through the utilization of high temperature, high pressure steam generating boilers that recover both the radiant energy from the combustion process inside the furnace as well as the energy in the hot combustion gases.

Environment California Research and Policy Center

Environment California Research and Policy Center worked with an independent laboratory to analyze five of the most popular brands of baby bottles on the market to determine whether bisphenol A leached from the bottles. All five bottle brands leached bisphenol A at levels founds to cause harm in numerous laboratory animal studies.

A new way of recycling that converts mixtures of plastics into petroleum feedstocks or raw materials that can be used in refineries and petrochemical facilities for making new products. These technologies augment existing mechanical systems as part of an integrated approach to plastics recycling designed to increase the volume of post-consumer plastic plastics diverted from the waste stream and expand the variety of plastics that are recycled into new and useful products.

Freight trains

Freight trains are less flexible than road transport, and much freight has been transferred from rail to road or sea. Freight trains are sometimes illegally boarded by passengers who do not wish, or do not have the money, to travel by ordinary means. This is referred to as "hopping " and is considered by some communities to be a viable form of transport. Glucosinolates (GSLs) are amino acid-derived secondary metabolites with diverse biological activities dependent on chemical modifications of the side chain.

Fluxional molecules

Fluxional molecules, starting with bullvalene as a seminal case, presented chemists with a fascinating new aspect of molecular reality. Organometallic chemistry blossomed enormously on the strength of multinuclear magnetic resonance. Fluxional molecules: molecules that exhibit rapid intramolecular rearrangements among their component atoms. As in structural isomerism and tautomerism, fluxional compounds maintain the same number of component atoms.

G

Granulating

A size-reduction process used for production scrap, post-consumer plastic packaging, industrial parts, or other materials that must be downsized for further processing. Granulators consist of a feed hopper, cutting chamber, classifying screen, and rotating knives that work in concert with stationary-bed knives to reduce the plastic scrap until it is small enough to pass through the classifying screen. The resulting particles, called regrind, can vary in size from 3 mm to 20 mm.

Gasoline

Gasoline induces kidney cancer in male rats as a consequence of accumulation of the alpha2- microglobulin protein in hyaline droplets in the male (but not female) rat kidney. Such abnormal accumulation represents lysosomal overload and leads to chronic renal tubular cell degeneration, accumulation of cell debris, mineralisation of renal medullary tubules and necrosis. Gastrointestinal tract discomfort may produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however, ingestion of insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for concern.

GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) Free

For example, most monosaccharides, such as fructose, glucose, and galactose, can be converted to one of these intermediates. The intermediates may also be directly useful. For example, the intermediate dihydroxyacetone phosphate is a source of the glycerol that combines with fatty acids to form fat.

H

Hardness

Hardness is the measure of dissolved mineral salts (mainly chlorides, bicarbonates, carbonates, and sulphates of calcium, sodium, magnesium and potassium); the harder the water the more salts it contains. It is generally expressed in terms of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) content, measured in degrees (dH) or parts per million (ppm) using a test kit.

Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT)

Indicates how loaded material deforms at higher temperatures. Test bars are placed in a heating bath, resting horizontally on two supports. A constant load is applied in the center of the specimen and the bath temperature is raised at a constant rate. The temperature of the bath at which the flexural deflection of the loading point has reached a predefined level is the heat deflection temperature of the material.

Hormone supplements

Hormone supplements can help if the problem is too little of a hormone. Hormones have an important role in the control of fetal growth. They act on both tissue accretion and differentiation and enable a precise and orderly pattern of growth to occur during late gestation. Hormonal Chaos traces the emergence of a hypothesis that casts suspicion on a broad range of chemicals. The assertion is that endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are interfering with the normal functioning of hormones in animals and humans.

L

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

Investigation and valuation of the environmental impacts of a given product or service caused or necessitated by its existence. The goal of LCA is to compare the full range of environmental and social damages assignable to products and services, to be able to choose the least burdensome one. At present it is a way to account for the effects of the cascade of technologies responsible for goods and services. It is limited to that, though, because the similar cascade of impacts from the commerce responsible for goods and services is unaccountable because what people do with money is unrecorded.

Metals are lustrous or shiny in appearance, and ductile, meaning that they can be molded into different shapes without breaking. They are excellent conductors of heat and electricity, and tend to form positive ions by losing electrons.

Metalloid

Metalloid-containing drugs are currently used to treat protozoan infections and promyelocytic leukaemia. Since metalloid resistance hampers efficient treatment, interest in identifying the mechanisms involved in tolerance acquisition has arisen. Metalloids are found in the periodic table of the elements between metals and non-metals. Metalloid refers to the properties of certain elements in relation to the periodic table. Semiconductor refers to the physical properties of materials (including alloys, compounds) and there is only partial overlap between the two.

Organic synthesis is engineering on an atomic scale, and requires techniques of mass production so that it is possible to make copies of molecules not just in hundreds or thousands, but in billions of billions of billions. As a result, organic synthesis is an extremely demanding discipline, requiring both a wide knowledge of chemistry and also the ability to develop complete strategies for the construction of molecules. Organic synthesis is a special branch of chemistry that is focused on the construction of organic compounds using specific organic reactions. Depending on the complexity of the compound, the chemical synthesis will involve one or several synthetic steps.

Reclaimers normally travel on a rail between stockpiles in the stockyard. A bucket wheel reclaimer can typically move in three directions: horizontally along the rail; vertically by "luffing" its boom and rotationally by slewing its boom.

Recycling

Process of converting used products into raw materials that can be used to make new products in order to prevent waste, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production.

Residues

Residues accumulated by SPMDs have been shown to be proportional to analyte water concentration, whereas this does not appear to be the case for fish tissues. The greater amounts of 3,3‘,4,4‘-tetrachlorobiphenyl and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran accumulated in SPMDs than in exposed channel catfish indicated those non-passive aspects of bioconcentration in organisms, such as biotransformation and elimination, introduced 50−500% error in the assumed degree of exposure. Residues of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), and dioxin-like, non-, and mono-substituted polychlorinated biphenyls (co-planar PCBs) were quantified in 32 fish and shellfish collected from domestic.

Soil enzymes

Soil enzymes (complex proteins) are stabilized by humic substances within the soil by covalent bonding. Stabilization renders these enzymes less subject to microbial degradation. Soil samples are extracted with n-pentane and the solvent extract is fractionated by solid phase separation. This is performed using open column chromatography with an alumina column.

Source Reduction

Source reduction is also known as waste prevention or pollution prevention means stopping waste before it happens. It involves design, manufacture, purchase or use of materials and products to reduce the amount or toxicity of what is thrown away.

Source Separation

Method of separating the recyclable waste from the solid waste. It promotes clean, marketable materials by limiting levels of contamination. This can also foster further source reduction and recycling activities at work, home and school. Many curbside recycling programs require the hauler to separate paper, glass, metal cans and plastic containers into their appropriate bins on the truck when collected.

Sustainability

Vacuum forming is a process that takes a pattern, whether hand-made or CNC machined, and creates a thin plastic skin in its likeness. The acrylic, PVC or other plastic is fixed in a frame and heated in our oven until it becomes soft enough to drape over the pattern. Vacuum forming should not be ignored in the hobby and craft fields. It is easy, clean and a fast way to make high quality plastic parts.

Vitrification

A process of using heat to melt and then solidify harmful chemicals into a solid mass of glasslike material. Solidification of a vitreous solid occurs at the glass transition temperature. When the starting material is solid, vitrification usually involves heating the substances to very high temperatures. Ceramics would be a good example. Vitrification may also occur naturally when lightning strikes sand, where the extreme and immediate heat can create hollow, branching rootlike structures of glass, called fulgurite.

The finished product is not sticky like raw rubber, does not harden with cold or soften much except with great heat, is elastic, springing back into shape when deformed instead of remaining deformed as unvulcanized rubber does, is highly resistant to abrasion and to gasoline and most chemicals, and is a good insulator against electricity and heat.

Web press conferences

Web press conferences also have their limitations. Bloggers and print journalists can get quotes from presenters and ask questions, but there's no opportunity to take photos. Web press releases also tend to be posted for a longer period of time. Some websites archive their past press releases so readers can still access them at any time. Web presses are used for large-scale print runs in which tens or hundreds of thousands of copies are needed.

Web Press Corporation

Web Press Corporation (herein referred to as "Web" or "Company") was founded in late 1967 under the name "Web Press Aid" as a sole proprietorship. Initially, the Company was involved primarily in the rebuilding and repair of web-fed printing presses and related equipment.

Web press releases

Web press releases are generally not released to print markets via fax. They are either sent directly to a few selected online media outlets, released to a press release submission site, or both.
