English

Subject field(s)
  • Glass Industry
  • Glass Manufacturing
DEF

A treatment applied to the external surface of containers at the lehr end by spraying them with a dilute solution or vapour of a water-soluble organic substance.

OBS

This treatment gives lubricity to the surface, thus reducing damage by friction and also maintains the effectiveness of the hot-end coating.

OBS

cold-end coating: term and definition standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 1992.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Industrie du verre
  • Fabrication du verre
DEF

Traitement appliqué à la surface externe des récipients, en bout d'arche, par pulvérisation d'une solution diluée ou d'une vapeur de substance organique soluble dans l'eau.

OBS

Ce traitement lubrifie la surface et, réduit donc les dommages par frottement en conservant également l’efficacité du traitement de surface à chaud.

OBS

traitement de surface à froid : terme et définition normalisés par l'Organisation internationale de normalisation (ISO) en 1992.

Record 2 2012-01-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
DEF

Any of a large group of siloxane polymers based on a structure consisting of alternate silicon and oxygen atoms with various organic radicals attached to the silicon ....

CONT

Silicones, also called organopolysiloxanes may exist as liquids, greases, resins, or rubbers. The distinguishing characteristics of silicone polymers are good resistance to water and oxidation, stability at high and low temperatures, and lubricity.

OBS

Silicone was coined by F.S. Kipping and is now used to designate any organosilicon oxide polymer in which the structural unit is usually -R2 Si-0.

OBS

"Silicone" is often used in the plural form.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Éléments et composés chimiques
CONT

Les silicones sont des composés polyorganosiloxaniques, de motif structural [...] R-SI-O-R [...] dans lesquels on a une alternance d'atomes de silicium et d'oxygène, le silicium portant des substituants organiques [...] Ces polymères peuvent être des liquides, des graisses, des résines ou encore des gommes.

OBS

«Silicone» est très souvent utilisé au pluriel.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Elementos y compuestos químicos
DEF

Amplio grupo de polímeros de organosiloxano con una estructura de oxígenos y silicios alternantes. Líquidos sólidos o semisólidos.

CAS number
DEF

A chemical product which appears under the form of a black crystalline solid, has a boiling point of 450°C, is found in nature and ground up into a fine powder to be used for its lubrication properties, and which owes its lubricity to a layer lattice structure in which cleavage and shear between adjacent laminae are extremely easy, and which also used as a catalyst.

OBS

Molybdenum disulfide is stable under a variety of environmental conditions; hence it is ideally suited for space application.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Petroleum Asphalts
CONT

A recent innovation by Syncrude, called "Natural Froth Lubricity", uses water in the froth to create a lubricating sleeve, thereby allowing the pipelining of froth without adding diluent.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Bitumes
CONT

Une innovation toute récente de Syncrude, baptisée «Lubrifiance par moussage naturel», utilise de l'eau dans la mousse de bitume pour créer un manchon lubrifiant autorisant le pipelinage du produit sans ajout de diluant.

Record 6 2003-05-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Drilling
  • Boring and Drilling (Mines)
DEF

A measure of the speed with which the bit drills into formations; usually expressed in terms of feet per hour.

CONT

Drilling rates can often be increased by using water to circulate the cuttings from the hole; when feasible, the use of gas as a drilling fluid can lead to drilling rates as much as 10 times those attained with mud.

CONT

Improved lubricity by addition of oil and special proprietary additives can contribute to longer bit-life and increased rate of penetration.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Forage des puits de pétrole
  • Sondage et forage miniers
DEF

Taux d'avancement, taux de pénétration. C'est, mesurée en mètres, la longueur de puits, forée en une heure : m/h.

CONT

[...] pour forer une r oche dure [...] la vitesse de pénétration ne dépasse pas 1 m/h. En revanche, dans un terrain tendre, il n'est pas rare d'obtenir un avancement de 100 m/h.

CONT

Vitesse de pénétration du trépan.

CONT

Vitesse d'avancement des trépans.

OBS

La mesure de l'avancement se fait [...] par [...] la descente de la tige carrée à travers la table de rotation [...]

Record 8 2000-10-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
CONT

Silicones... may exist as liquids, greases, resins, or rubbers.... The liquids, generally dimethyl silicones of relatively low molecular weight, have low surface tension, great wetting power and lubricity for metals, and very small change in viscosity with temperature. They are used as hydraulic fluids, as anti-foaming agents, as treating and waterproofing agents for leather, textiles, and masonry, and in cosmetic preparation.

CONT

Silicones are classified as fluids (or oils), rubbers, resins and compounds.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
CONT

Les liquides siliconiques, généralement des diméthylsilicones de poids moléculaire relativement bas, ont une faible tension superficielle, un grand pouvoir mouillant vis-à-vis des métaux et présentent une faible variation de viscosité avec la température. Ils sont le plus généralement utilisés comme lubrifiants, comme liquides pour systèmes hydrauliques, comme agents antimousse, comme imperméabilisants pour cuirs et textiles et dans l'industrie des cosmétiques.
