Glass workability

Plasticizers are substances (usually low molecular weight diluents) that are incorporated into polymeric materials to improve their workability and increase flexibility. Polymeric plasticizers are low glass transition temperature (Tg) poly-... 

Material added to a plastic to increase its workability and flexibility. Plasticizers tend to lower the melt viscosity, the glass transition temperature and/or the elastic modulus. 

Capillary tubes. These are made from glass pipets by heating a pipet or glass tubing and pulling them in two when the glass has reached a workable temperature. These items are inexpensive and practice makes perfect. 

Silver is employed for low resistance electrical contacts and conductors, and in silver cell batteries. Antimony is used in lead add storage batteries to improve the workability of the lead and lead oxides. Copper and copper alloy wires, connectors, cables, switches, printed drcuit boards, and transistor and rectifier bases are common throughout the industry. Nickel is used in high resistance heating elements, glass-to-metal seals, batteries, and spedalty steels for power generation equipment Household appliances employ stainless and electroplated steel containing nickel. 

A plasticizer is a substance the addition of which to another material makes that material softer and more flexible. This broad definition encompasses the use of water to plasticize clay for the production of pottery, and oils to plasticize pitch for caulking boats. A more precise definition of plasticizers is that they are materials which, when added to a polymer, cause an increase in the flexibility and workability, brought about by a decrease in the glass-transition temperature, T, of the polymer. The most widely plasticized polymer is poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) due to its excellent plasticizer compatibility characteristics, and the development of plasticizers closely follows the development of this commodity polymer. However, plasticizers have also been used and remain in use with other polymer types. 

HALIDES Halogens Halite sodium, chlorine TABLE SALT, source of sodium for LYE, improves workability of molten GLASS... 

For a long time the technical application of this microporous insulation was limited, as the material made from pressed powder was hardly workable and, for example, had to be protected through a covering made from glass fiber. 

Thinner glass qualities down to 2 mm thick are produced by stretching the still workable glass on the tin-bed. The float-glass process supplies flat glass in mirror glass quality, but is restricted to soda-lime glass. 

Soy flour is brought to approximately 40% (w/w) moisture content with distilled water. The dough obtained is kneaded, rolled flat, and then pressed between glass plates to give it the shape of a film. It is then left overnight in a refrigerator at 4 to 5°C. The dough that becomes easily workable is then cut into small disks with a cork borer for diffusion experiments. 

Influence of Liquid Glass and Monomeric Additive Content on SPC Fluidity, Harshness, Workability, and Strength... 

Results of the research show that introduction of TFS increases the harshness of SPC mixes. Regarding the workability of the investigated compositions, the SPC mix can be classified as plastic with content of liquid glass of 11% and monomeric additive of 3%. The influence of the quantity of liquid glass on SPC strength was defined both for compositions with the monomeric additive and without it.
