Enamels optical

The first glass polyalkenoate cement had a C, of 0-76, which was far too high, but improved modem materials are more acceptable and a value as low as 0-52 has been reported for one of these (Crisp, Abel Wilson, 1979). Knibbs, Plant Pearson (1986b) have found that most glass polyalkenoate cements have a good optical match with tooth enamel. 

Used industrially as a chemical intermediate in the production of rayon, carbon tetrachloride, xanthogenates, flotation agents, and pesticides used in the cold vulcanization of vulcanized rubber, in adhesive compositions for food packaging as a solvent for phosphorus, sulfur, selenium, bromine, iodine, fats, resins, rubbers, waxes, lacquers, camphor, resins and in the production of optical glass, paints, enamels, varnishes, paint removers, tallow, putty preservatives, rubber cement, soil disinfectants, explosives, rocket fuel, and electronic vacuum tubes. 

An industrial standard method has been developed to test the lightfastness of polymers in accelerated test equipment [103]. The apparatus consists of a quartz-xenon tube with a special optical filter between the light source and the specimen to produce light that resembles window glass-filtered daylight [104], Samples are mounted at a specific distance from the arc and are supported on a frame which revolves around the arc 1 to 5 times per minute for uniform exposure. A blower unit in the base provides a flow of air which makes it possible to maintain a black panel temperature of 45°C, measured by a black panel thermometer which is positioned at level with the samples. A black panel unit consists of a bimetallic thermometer mounted on a steel frame. Both faces of the frame plate and also the stem of the thermometer are coated with a heat-resistant glossy black enamel. The relative humidity level in the exposure cabinet is closely controlled.

Silicon is the most important constituent of igneous and many sedimentary rocks, occurring in combination with oxygen in feldspars, micas, quartz, sands and shales. The element is used in electronic devices, while silicon in combination with oxygen as silica and silicates finds application in concrete, bricks, pottery, enamels, glasses, optical fibers for telecommunications, and refractory (high-temperature resistant) materials.

For ceramic use, the most important mineral containing fluorine is fluorite (CaF2) which occurs in fluorspar. Natural deposits have a purity of 90-98% with silica as the principal impurity. Fluorite mineral powders have angular surfaces which result from cleavage and conchoidal fracture of the mineral [14]. Fluorspar is used in many forms of optical glass of low index of refraction and in enamels.
