Record 2 2002-10-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Printing Processes - Various
CONT

Expose the developed plate after drying again to UV light in order to get stability. Post exposure time should be the same or longer than main exposure time

Key term(s)
  • post-exposure time

French

Domaine(s)
  • Procédés d'impression divers
CONT

[...] Les fournisseurs planchent sur une technologie susceptible de rendre le CtP [système direct de l'ordinateur à la plaque] acceptable en flexographie. La plupart s'efforcent de réduire les temps de post-exposition, mais les problèmes de qualité subsistent.

Record 3 1990-09-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Strength of Materials
  • Technical Textiles
  • Soil Mechanics (Engineering)
CONT

Endurance and environmental properties of geogrids are generally excellent. Being made of high-density polyethylene or protected high-tenacity polyester they are extremely resistant to chemicals, bacteria, and general aging processes. Even their UV stability is good (due to both the addition of carbon black and their large thickness), particularly when compared to geotextiles.

OBS

One area that does require constant vigilance, however, is that of ultraviolet (UV) light susceptibility of most geotextile. Contractors often fail to recognize that nonstabilized fabrics can be literally destroyed by leaving them exposed to sunlight, especially in southern climate.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Résistance des matériaux
  • Textiles techniques
  • Mécanique des sols
CONT

Stabilité aux rayons ultraviolets. Dans la majorité des cas, les géotextiles sont protégés des rayonnements par une couche de matériaux graveleux qui le soustrait à une altération.

OBS

Stabilité : Propriété d'un corps, d'un système, etc., qui est dans son domaine d'équilibre et, par suite, ne peut être le siège d'aucune réaction spontanée.
