Manufacturing

Rubber trees are not deciduous; they are evergreen trees. They keep their leaves throughout the year and do not shed them in the fall like deciduous trees.

The white clay used in manufacturing paper is called kaolin clay. It is added to paper to improve its brightness, smoothness, and opacity. Kaolin clay also helps to control the ink absorption and improve the overall print quality of the paper.

Some problems with processing and manufacturing chemicals include environmental pollution from waste disposal, health risks to workers from exposure to hazardous substances, and potential chemical spills or accidents that can harm people and ecosystems. It is also important to ensure proper handling and storage of chemicals to prevent accidents and contamination.

Brine is used in soap manufacturing as a salt solution that helps improve the hardness and quality of the soap bars. It also helps accelerate the saponification process, leading to faster soap production. Additionally, brine can enhance lather and cleansing properties of the soap.

It is not recommended to put a carbonated drink in a stainless steel container for an extended period of time as the pressure from the carbonation could build up and potentially cause the container to leak or release the pressure suddenly when opened, leading to spillage. It is better to use containers designed for carbonated drinks with pressure release valves to avoid this issue.

Yes, rubber trees are popular houseplants as they are easy to care for and can thrive in indoor conditions. They require bright, indirect light and regular watering, allowing them to grow into a striking and attractive addition to any indoor space.

Sand, soda ash, limestone, and cullet (recycled glass) are the primary natural resources used in manufacturing glass bottles. Sand is the main ingredient, providing silica for the glass structure, while soda ash and limestone are added to lower the melting point of the mixture. Cullet is often used to supplement raw materials, reducing energy consumption and environmental impact.

H13 steel is commonly used for making dies for pressure die casting of aluminum alloys due to its high strength, excellent thermal conductivity, and wear resistance properties. It can withstand the high temperatures and pressures involved in the die casting process, resulting in durable and high-quality finished products.

Light-dependent resistors (LDRs) are typically made using semiconductor materials such as cadmium sulfide (CdS) or lead sulfide (PbS). These materials exhibit changes in resistance based on the intensity of light they are exposed to, making them ideal for light sensing applications. LDRs are commonly used in electronic devices to control the amount of light reaching a sensor or to trigger certain actions based on light levels.

As of 2021, there are over 300 companies in Kenya that are ISO 9001 certified. The number may vary as new companies seek certification and existing certifications expire.

AUS 8A is a Japanese stainless steel known for its corrosion resistance and toughness, while 440 stainless steel is a high-carbon stainless steel often used in knife blades due to its hardness and wear resistance. AUS 8A is easier to sharpen but may not hold an edge as well as 440 stainless steel.

Lead pencils are good for everyday writing and drawing tasks due to their versatility and ease of use. They can produce dark or light lines depending on the pressure applied, and mistakes can be easily erased with an eraser. However, they may not be ideal for precision work or long-lasting artwork, as the graphite can smudge and fade over time.

Sal soda, also known as sodium carbonate, is commonly used as a cleaning agent due to its ability to cut through grease and grime. It can be found in household cleaners, laundry detergents, and even as a water softener. Additionally, it is sometimes used in cooking and baking as a leavening agent.

An organic plastic is one that has been made using carbon and other biodegradable compounds. This means that it will biodegrade easily and won't fill up landfills and ruin the environment.

For example, there are some types of plastic made out of potatoes, and others made of different vegetables of natural fibre.

Platinum is used in various products and industries, including catalytic converters in vehicles, jewelry, electronic components, and medical equipment. It is prized for its resistance to corrosion and its ability to withstand high temperatures, making it a valuable material in many applications.

LASER light is able to cut materials like fabric by focusing a high-intensity beam of light onto the material's surface. The intense heat from the LASER beam vaporizes the material in a controlled manner, allowing for precise cutting without fraying or damage to the surrounding area. Additionally, the narrow beam of light enables intricate and detailed cuts to be made.

Foods that are acidic, such as tomato sauce or citrus fruits, can react with stainless steel and cause discoloration or leaching of metals into the food. It is recommended to avoid prolonged contact between these types of foods and stainless steel cookware to prevent any potential reactions.

Polystyrene is a thermoplastic, which means it softens when heated and can be molded into different shapes but retains its solid structure after cooling.

Common raw materials used to make binders include resins, such as acrylic, vinyl, or epoxy resins, as well as solvents, pigments, and other additives. These materials are mixed together to form a binder that provides adhesion and cohesion to bind together various components in products like paints, adhesives, and coatings.

The raw material used in the production of sugar is sugarcane or sugar beets. These plants are processed to extract the sugar content, which is then further refined to produce different forms of sugar.

Yes: Being flattening by hammering is a property called "malleability", and copper is one of the highly malleable metals.
