Manufacturing-the making of goods or wares by manual labor or by machinery, especially on a large scale
Photographic-representing nature and human beings with the exactness of a photograph
generic- any product, as a type of food, drug, or cosmetic commonlymarketed under a
brand name, that is sold in a package withouta brand.
reinforced- to strengthen with some added piece, support, or material
polymer- a compound of high molecular weight derived either by theaddition of many smaller molecules, as polyethylene, or by thecondensation of many smaller molecules with the elimination ofwater, alcohol, or the like, as nylon.
translucent- permitting light to pass through but diffusing it so that persons,objects, etc., on the opposite side are not clearly visible
synthetic - noting or pertaining to compounds formed through a chemicalprocess by human agency, as opposed to those of naturalorigin
electrochemistry-the branch of chemistry that deals with the chemical changesproduced by electricity and
the production of electricity by chemicalchanges
electrolytic cells-
cells
shellac-
lac that has been purified and formed into thin sheets, used formaking varnish
formaldehyde-
a colorless, toxic, potentially carcinogenic, water-soluble gas, CH 2 O, having a suffocating odor, usually derived from methyl alcohol
byoxidation: used chiefly in aqueous solution, as a disinfectant andpreservative, and in the manufacture of various resins and plastics.
Phenol-
a white, crystalline, water-soluble, poisonousmass, C 6 H 5 OH, obtained from coal tar, or a hydroxylderivative of
benzene
Thermoplastics-soft and pliable when heated, as some plastics, without anychange of the inherent
properties.
Thermoset-
having the property of becoming permanently hard and rigid whenheated or cured.
Petrochemical-a chemical substance obtained from petroleum or natural gas, asgasoline, kerosene,
or petrolatum
Bakelite: a brand name for any of a series of thermosetting plastics prepared byheating phenol or
cresol with formaldehyde and ammonia underpressure
Filler: a liquid, paste, or the like used to coat a surface or to give solidity, bulk, etc., to a substance, aspaper or a chemical
powder.
Polyurethane: a thermoplastic polymer containing the group NHCOO: used for padding and insulation in furniture, clothing,and packaging, and in the manufacture of resins for adhesives, elastomers, and
fillers.
Resin- any of a class of nonvolatile, solid or semisolid organic substances, as copal or mastic, that consist ofamorphous mixtures of carboxylic acids and are obtained directly from certain plants as exudations orprepared by polymerization of simple molecules: used in medicine and in the making of varnishes andplastics.
Hardening- a material that hardens another, as an alloy added to iron to make steel.
Silicone-
any of a number of polymers containing alternate silicon and
oxygen atoms, as whoseproperties are determined by the organic groups attached to the silicon atoms, and that are fluid, resinous,rubbery, extremely stable in high temperatures, and water-repellent: used as adhesives, lubricants, andhydraulic oils and in electrical insulation, cosmetics, etc.
