  2. Sodium hypochlorite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hypochlorite

    [46] [47] It may be made by diluting household bleach as appropriate (normally 1 part bleach to 9 parts water). [48] Such solutions have been demonstrated to inactivate both C. difficile [46] and HPV. [49] "Weak chlorine solution" is a 0.05% solution of hypochlorite used for washing hands, but is normally prepared with calcium hypochlorite ...

  3. Dealkalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dealkalization

    Dealkalization is a process of surface modification applicable to glasses containing alkali ions, wherein a thin surface layer is created that has a lower concentration of alkali ions than is present in the underlying, bulk glass. This change in surface composition commonly alters the observed properties of the surface, most notably enhancing ...

  4. Amorphous metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amorphous_metal

    An amorphous metal (also known as metallic glass, glassy metal, or shiny metal) is a solid metallic material, usually an alloy, with disordered atomic-scale structure. Most metals are crystalline in their solid state, which means they have a highly ordered arrangement of atoms. Amorphous metals are non-crystalline, and have a glass-like ...

  5. Passivation (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passivation_(chemistry)

    Passivation involves creation of an outer layer of shield material that is applied as a microcoating, created by chemical reaction with the base material, or allowed to build by spontaneous oxidation in the air. As a technique, passivation is the use of a light coat of a protective material, such as metal oxide, to create a shield against ...

  6. Pitting corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitting_corrosion

    Pitting corrosion. Severe pitting corrosion problems caused by chloride ions on a truss beam of the Nandu River Iron Bridge (Hainan Province, China) leading to the complete rupture of a metallic element. Pitting corrosion, or pitting, is a form of extremely localized corrosion that leads to the random creation of small holes in metal.

  7. Cleaning agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleaning_agent

    Using a mix of acidic vinegar and soap to clean a plastic surface. Cleaning agents or hard-surface cleaners are substances (usually liquids, powders, sprays, or granules) used to remove dirt, including dust, stains, foul odors, and clutter on surfaces. [1] Purposes of cleaning agents include health, beauty, removing offensive odors, and ...

  8. Oxalic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxalic_acid

    Oxalic acid's main applications include cleaning or bleaching, especially for the removal of rust (iron complexing agent). Its utility in rust removal agents is due to its forming a stable, water-soluble salt with ferric iron, ferrioxalate ion. Oxalic acid is an ingredient in some tooth whitening products.

  9. Rust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust

    Wrought iron. Rust is an iron oxide, a usually reddish-brown oxide formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the catalytic presence of water or air moisture. Rust consists of hydrous iron (III) oxides (Fe 2 O 3 ·nH 2 O) and iron (III) oxide-hydroxide (FeO (OH), Fe (OH) 3), and is typically associated with the corrosion of refined iron.
