  2. SuperFabric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperFabric

    Fire resistance can be achieved by selection of resin and base fabric during manufacturing. The process used to make SuperFabric materials allows customization of surface properties with additional coatings such as silicone to improve grip on smooth surfaces such as metal, glass, and laminate. Most SuperFabric materials are highly resistant to ...

    Seismic base isolation, also known as base isolation, [3] or base isolation system, [4] is one of the most popular means of protecting a structure against earthquake forces. [5] It is a collection of structural elements which should substantially decouple a superstructure from its substructure that is in turn resting on the shaking ground, thus ...

    Traditionally in geomorphology, a flatiron is a steeply sloping triangular landform created by the differential erosion of a steeply dipping, erosion-resistant layer of rock overlying softer strata. Flatirons have wide bases that form the base of a steep, triangular facet that narrows upward into a point at its summit.

    Satellite image of the Alps, March 2007 Folded rock layers exposed in the Swiss Alps. The Alps form part of a Cenozoic orogenic belt of mountain chains, called the Alpide belt, that stretches through southern Europe and Asia from the Atlantic all the way to the Himalayas. This belt of mountain chains was formed during the Alpine orogeny.

    It features a primary layer of a fluoropolymer such as ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene (ECTFE) which is chemically resistant to chlorine, sulfuric acid, and hydrochloric acid. Following the primary layer is an HMWPE insulation layer, which provides pliable strength and allows considerable abuse during installation.
