Note that if were making a geologic map, we could draw a line on the map that separates the pelitic rocks containing only Pyrophyllite from those containing Kyanite + Quartz. Such a line(a surface in 3 dimensions) is called an isograd(iso-same, grad-grade). In this case, since it represents the first appearance of Kyanite, we call it the Kyanite Isograd... If we continue walking along the direction that T & P increased in these rocks during metamorphism, we would eventually come to another place where in the pelitic rocks the mineral assemblage changes. This time the change is from Kyanite + Quartz to Sillimanite + Quartz. Again, we can draw a line on the map that indicates this change in mineral assemblage, this time calling it the Sillimanite Isograd. Just like before, this represents the point on the phase diagram, above, where the geothermal gradient intersected the boundary for the reaction... Because the sandstone and the limestone do not contain Kyanite, the isograd does not appear in these rocks, but we can still extrapolate its position across the map or outcrop. 3, record 5, English, - sillimanite%20isograd

It is observed that the domestic producers manufacture both "homopolyols" and "heteropolyols" and they are supplying heteropolyols to their customers. Grade F-3002 in the case of MPL and grade F-3010 in the case of SORL are heteropolyols. The companies had, however, first introduced heteropolyol which is based only on Propylene Oxide, based on the advice of their collaborators and also partly due to the very tight availability situation of Ethylene Oxide. In 1992, they introducted heteropolyol. However, with a view to conserve EO for strategically important cold cure products, they sold heteropolyols to those customers alone who wanted only this particular grade and supplied homopolyols to customers who wanted continuous repeat supply of any one grade consistently without change. The domestic producers have submitted that heteropolyols are easy to process because of Ethylene Oxide content and require certain catalysts slightly less. 4, record 9, English, - copolyol
