PYREX® and Corning® Glass and Reusable Plastic Product Selection Guide PYREX® and Corning® Glass and Reusable Plastic Product Selection Guide PYREXPLUS® glassware is coated with a tough, transparent plastic vinyl. The coating, which is applied to the outside of the vessel, helps prevent exterior surface abrasion. It also helps minimize the loss of contents and helps contain glass fragments if the glass vessel is broken. PYREX VISTA™ glassware is an economical option for the customer who is willing to forgo the premium benefits of PYREX products. Manufactured to Corning/PYREX standards and price competitive with comparable products, PYREX VISTA glassware offers a full range of products from beakers to pipets and is easily recognized by its blue graduations and novel marking spot.

  • Zinc and Cadmium in Paper (Reaffirmation of T 438 Cm-96)
    WI 050114.01 T 438 DRAFT NO. 5 DATE July 27, 2006 TAPPI WORKING GROUP CHAIRMAN J Ishley SUBJECT CATEGORY Fillers & Pigments Testing RELATED METHODS See “Additional Information” CAUTION: This Test Method may include safety precautions which are believed to be appropriate at the time of publication of the method. The intent of these is to alert the user of the method to safety issues related to such use. The user is responsible for determining that the safety precautions are complete and are appropriate to their use of the method, and for ensuring that suitable safety practices have not changed since publication of the method. This method may require the use, disposal, or both, of chemicals which may present serious health hazards to humans. Procedures for the handling of such substances are set forth on Material Safety Data Sheets which must be developed by all manufacturers and importers of potentially hazardous chemicals and maintained by all distributors of potentially hazardous chemicals. Prior to the use of this method, the user must determine whether any of the chemicals to be used or disposed of are potentially hazardous and, if so, must follow strictly the procedures specified by both the manufacturer, as well as local, state, and federal authorities for safe use and disposal of these chemicals. Zinc and cadmium in paper (Reaffirmation of T 438 cm-96) (no changes were made since last draft) 1. Scope and significance 1.1 This method maybe used for the determination of cadmium and zinc either in paper or in highly opaque pigments. Zinc is usually present in zinc oxide, zinc sulfide, or as lithopone (a combination of zinc sulfide and barium sulfate), which is occasionally used in filled paper, in paper coatings and in high-pressure laminates and wallpaper.

Abstract Hydrogen is seen as a potential fuel for the future; its choice is driven by the increasing awareness of the necessity for clean fuel. Together with the simultaneous development of “green technologies” and sustainable development, a current goal is to convert waste to energy or to create energy from a renewable resource. Biological processing [of renewables] or bioremediation of waste to create hydrogen as a product fulfils this goal and, as such, is widely researched. In this work, an already established process, using a hydrogenase up‐regulated strain ‐ was characterised and the important process parameters were established. This bacterial strain has the potential for industrial‐scale hydrogen production from, for example, waste sugars. Previous work, repeated here, showed that hydrogen could be generated by E.

December 2015 200 South Hallock Drive, Santa Paula, CA 93060 • (877) 622-7472 • FAX (805) 525-8604 • www.abrisatechnologies.com Glossary of Terms - 12/15 2 of 13 Acid Etching This process for the decoration of glass involves the application of hydrofluoric acid to the glass surface. Hydrofluoric acid vapors or baths of hydrofluoric acid salts may be used to give glass a matte, frosted appearance (similar to that obtained by surface sandblasting), as found in lighting glass. Glass designs can be produced by coating the glass with wax and then inscribing the desired pattern through the wax layer. When applied, the acid will corrode the glass but not attack the wax-covered areas. Alumina-silicate Glass Alumina (aluminum oxide Al2O3) is added to the glass batch in the form of commonly found feldspars containing alkalis in order to help improve chemical resistance and mechanical strength, and to increase viscosity at lower temperatures. Angle of Incidence The angle formed between a ray of light striking a surface and the normal line (the line perpendicular to the surface at that point). Annealing Under natural conditions, the surface of molten glass will cool more rapidly than the center. This results in internal stress- es which may cause the glass sheet or object to crack, shatter or even explode some time later. The annealing process is designed to eliminate or limit such stresses by submitting the glass to strictly controlled cooling in a special oven known as a “lehr”. Inside the lehr, the glass is allowed to cool to a temperature known as the “annealing point”.

This complexity stands as a promising technology for the 21st century since the need for environmentally friendly materials has reached a critical point due to climate change. However, such a wide range of variability makes new glass compositions difficult to design. The difficulty is only exaggerated when considering that not only is there an infinite variability in the compositional space, but also an infinite variability thermal history of a glass and in the crystallinity of glass-cearmics. This means that even for a simple binary glass there are at least 3 dimensions that have to be optimized. To resolve this difficulty, it is shown that energy landscapes can capture all three sets of complexity (composition, thermal history, and crystallinity). The explicit energy landscape optimization, however, has a large computational cost.
