The amount of surface brightness a paint or enamel has is called "gloss." Gloss refers to the reflective quality of the surface, indicating how much light is reflected. It is often measured on a scale from matte (low gloss) to high gloss, with higher gloss levels providing a shiny appearance. The level of gloss can affect both the aesthetic appeal and the durability of the finish.
The ouside of the tooth is called the Enamel
The hard surfce on the surface of a tooth is enamel.
it is called enamel. so the answer is true It is called enamel
Enamel
Enamel is called the dentine part of the tooth
To determine if an existing painted surface is enamel, you can perform a few simple tests. First, check for a glossy finish, as enamel paints typically have a hard, shiny surface. You can also scratch the paint lightly with a coin or fingernail; enamel is more durable and should resist chipping compared to other paint types. Lastly, applying a small amount of solvent (like acetone) to an inconspicuous area will help; if the paint softens or lifts, it may not be enamel.
I need to get my enamel pots and pans re-coated because the surface is starting to chip.
It is called the enamel. It's the most external layer of a tooth and the hardest substance in the body.
Most of the enamel additives used for enamel slurry mixing are electrolytes that are easily soluble in water, and are used as saturated solutions. Today we will introduce the role of common enamel additives such as borax, urea, sodium nitrite, and magnesium sulfate in the enamel slurry, which is convenient for enamel factories to apply in the actual operation process. Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4•7H2O): Retaining agent for ground coat, titanium enamel and color enamel. Excessive amount will reduce the staying effect, and will cause the porcelain surface to be rough and reduce the adhesion. Barium chloride (BaCl2•2H2O): The retention agent of antimony enamel, titanium enamel and colored enamel, it is difficult to handle if the excessive consistency is large, but it is forbidden to use bright red and cadmium yellow. Potassium carbonate (K2CO3): Titanium enamel retention agent, excessive amount will cause piping watermarks, yellowing, and serious boiling. Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3): Solve the pitting of the ground coat layer, the bullet points and small black spots of the surface enamel layer, and excessive amount will cause the enamel slurry to stay poorly. Potassium Chloride (KCL): A retention agent for titanium enamel, excessive amount will cause piping watermarks, yellowing, and serious boiling. Sodium Chloride (NaCl): Used for surface enamel, it can increase the strength of powder blank, and excessive amount will affect the gloss of porcelain surface. Borax (Na2B4O7•10H2O): Solve the pitting defect of the ground coat layer, and excessive amount will easily cause boiling or shrinkage. Urea (NH) 2CO: Increase the strength of the enamel powder blank, and solve the defects such as powder lines, black lines of piping watermarks, and black spots. Excessive amount will reduce the physical and chemical properties of enamel products (gloss, acid resistance, heat resistance, impact resistance) and cause boiling defects, so red enamel paste should not be used. Sodium nitrite (NaNO2): Solve the yellow rust spots caused by poor drying of the ground coat powder. Excessive amount can easily cause piping watermarks, blistering or boiling. Potassium chlorate (KClO3): Solve the boiling point of the titanium enamel layer. Excessive amount will reduce the luster and cause the edge watermark to boil. The enamel products with red edge enamel should be added less to avoid darkening the edge enamel color. Sodium chlorate (NaClO3): The effect is the same as that of potassium chlorate.
Smooth surface caries is on a surface that does not have pits, fissures. Usually on the front, back, or side of the tooth as opposed to the top where there are hills and valleys so to say. If the caries is on the crown part of the tooth it started on the enamel, but may have progressed down to the dentin which is the next surface under the enamel.
The orange peel-like irregular wrinkles on the surface of the porcelain enamel layer are called orange peel wrinkles (orange peel wrinkles). Orange peel wrinkles are a kind of defects on the enamel surface, which directly affect the appearance quality of enamel products. Smooth and smooth, no defects such as pores, de-porcelain, line spots and so on. There are many reasons for orange peel wrinkles, generally enamel frit or enamel slurry. If your product has orange peel wrinkles, it can be analyzed from the following reasons: The enamel frit used has high surface tension and high viscosity; The enamel frit slurry is stored for too long, and the coarse grains sink; The enamel slurry particles are too coarse and the enamel is too thick; The temperature of the enamel firing furnace is too high; Uneven dissolution during firing; Excessive air pressure during enamel spraying. When encountering orange peel wrinkles, it should be noted that the enamel slurry should not be stored for too long and the furnace temperature for firing the enamel cover coat should not be too high. If it is daily enamel, pay attention to the lower surface tension in the choice of cover coat.
enamel is called émail in French.
