Water and humidity

Most of the above can be made into plastic films - primarily used for wrapping. Film properties vary widely from permeable for food to impermeable to preserve dryness. Paper, treated or untreated, has been used for many years as a covering film, but has low strength when wet and is difficult to make transparent. In the 1920s, the transparency of cellophane revolutionized wrap. It is regenerated cellulose, like viscose rayon, except it is extruded in sheet instead of fiber, unfortunately it is sensitive to water and humidity. 

In terms of environmental exposure, water and humidity must be carefully evaluated in electrical applications. In general, if a plastic absorbs a significant amount of water, the electrical resistivity drops. As examples this is the case for nylons and phenolic. Care must be used in selecting a dielectric to insure that the electrical properties such as the insulation resistance and dielectric strength, as well as other electrical properties are adequate under the conditions of field use, particularly if this involves exposure to high humidity conditions. Temperature also causes changes in most electrical products. 

Ecoflex F was designed to be a strong and flexible material with mechanical properties similar to PE. The films are tear-resistant and flexible, as well as resistant to fluctuations in water and humidity. Ecoflex F is a thermoplastic and can be melt-processed on standard polyolefin equipment (see Sect. 5). It is mainly used in film applications. The very high toughness and failure energy represent product characteristics of Ecoflex F that significantly exceed the respective properties of PE films. 

Methylchlorosilanes are transparent, colourless, motile liquids, which fume in air. They can be easily hydrolysed by water and humidity in air. 

Methylthyenildichlorosilane is a colourless liquid (the boiling point is 197 °C) with a specific organochlorosilane odour. It can be easily hydrolysed with water and humidity in air. 

Phenyl(chloromethyl)dichlorosilanes and methyl(chlorophenyl)-dichlorosilanes are colourless, transparent, motile liquids, which fume in air. Like all organochlorosilanes, they are easily hydrolysed with water and humidity in air and dissolve well in organic solvents. Phenyl(chloromethyl)- and methyl(chlorophenyl)dichlorosilanes are raw stock for preparing various silicone liquids, elastomers, and polymers for varnishes. 

The wholesale removal of salts should not be considered at this time. The salts are essentially a structural component in their own right. The isolation of the tomb from the influx of water and humidity will arrest the movement of these salts. 

It is of interest that veneer-faced low-density particleboards made from acetylated veneers and acetylated core particles showed excellent dimensional stability in both liquid water and humidity tests and were resistant to attack by fungi in an 8-week soil block test [57]. Furthermore, during the 150-day bending-creep test, the totally acetylated boards showed no strength or weight loss during exposure to T. palustris. 

Lauritzen 2005 Kaas 2008) scheme at least for chemicals, cloud water and humidity. 

For offline ACTMs the choice of advection schemes is an independent and critically important problem. Additionally using NWP input data with nonconservative and not harmonized schemes (due to different schemes, grids, time steps in NWP and ACT models) offline ACTMs can get a dramatic problem with an explosive solution for the chemical part. For onhne coupling it is not a problem if one uses the same mass-conservative scheme for chemicals, cloud water and humidity. 

It is highly resistant to chemical and atmospheric agencies. Water and humidity decompose it only very slowly. Cold sodium hydroxide solution acts similarly, though on prolonged boiling almost quantitative decomposition takes place with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. A 20% solution of sodium hydroxide decomposes two and a half times its own weight of the cyanide. Alcoholic potash decomposes it even in the cold. 

Drinking water and humidity condensate samples collected from U.S. Space Shuttle and the Russian Mir Space Stations are analyzed routinely at the NASA-Johnson Space Center as a means of verifying water quality and monitoring the environment of the spacecraft. Anions and cations were determined by ion chromatography whereas carboxylates and amines were determined by CE (phthalate/TTAB for carboxylates and imidazole/HIBA for amines). Results showed that Shuttle water is of distilled quality whereas Mir-recovered water contains various levels of minerals. Organic ions were rarely detected in potable water samples but were present in humidity condensates.

Strong resistance against water and humidity uptake. 

One disadvantage is their susceptibility to damage by water and humidity. Over time and with exposure, paper cones become weakened, losing their fidelity of sound. Many of the speakers that are available today are made of polypropylene, which is also inexpensive, lightweight, rigid, and nonresonant. Furthermore, not only are polypropylene cones immune to water and humidity, but also their performance is less influenced by heat or cold. Moreover, their added strength makes them less prone to splitting than paper. They...

However, like all other polymers and polymeric composites, sandwich lay-ups absorb water and are therefore susceptible to hydrothermal property degradations. The effects of sea water and humidity, in combination with temperature, are therefore of particular interest for naval structures since they are subjected to sustained exposures to these environments.

Pitting corrosion occurs when the metal is put into permanent or intermittent contact with aqueous media water, seawater, rain water, and humidity. Experience shows that when pitting corrosion occurs, it will always develop during the first weeks of exposure.
