"Polluter Pays" Principle.... Some people have recommended registering each cargo load, so that its chemical "fingerprint" is recorded. This way, if a spill occurs and a unique blend of hydrocarbons is found in the water, the polluter can be identified and taken to court. 1, record 2, English, - chemical%20fingerprint

Principe du «pollueur payeur». [...] Certains ont recommandé d'enregistrer la cargaison des pétroliers de façon à établir une «empreinte» chimique pour chacune.

The unique results achieved with supercalendering are due to the intermediate fibrous rolls(sometimes referred to as bowls or filled rolls) which possess elastic or plastic properties. With the application of load on the nips, the metal rolls cause a depression or deformation on the fibrous rolls at the point of contact, and the deformation spreads out on either side of the nip(Figure 18-28). When rotated, this spread area will creep because of the constant effort of the material to return to its normal shape. This flow causes a relative motion of the filled roll surface against the metal roll surface, thus producing rolling friction, which helps to give the polishing and smoothing effects. The intensity of action is governed by the amount of plastic flow and by the nip contact pressure. 2, record 5, English, - filled%20roll

Satinage. La calandre à satiner, ou supercalandre (gloss calender, supercalender), et la calandre à friction (friction calender, friction glazing calender) sont des dispositifs hors machine (off-machine) qui donnent au papier un aspect satiné ou surglacé par polissage énergique entre des rouleaux de métal et des rouleaux de fibres comprimées (filled roll, compressed fibre roll, paper roll), de coton ou de papier, et rectifiés au tour. 1, record 5, French, - rouleau%20de%20fibres%20comprim%C3%A9es
