Nowadays, Titanium and Zirconium seem to be the most widely used metals in the industory and daily products.

Titanium is as strong as steel but much less dense. It is therefore important as an alloying agent with many metals including aluminium, molybdenum and iron. These alloys are mainly used in aircraft, spacecraft and missiles because of their low density and ability to withstand extremes of temperature. They are also used in golf clubs, laptops, bicycles and crutches.

Power plant condensers use titanium pipes because of their resistance to corrosion. Because titanium has excellent resistance to corrosion in seawater, it is used in desalination plants and to protect the hulls of ships, submarines and other structures exposed to seawater.
Titanium metal connects well with bone, so it has found surgical applications such as in joint replacements (especially hip joints) and tooth implants.
The largest use of titanium is in the form of titanium(IV) oxide. It is extensively used as a pigment in house paint, artists' paint, plastics, enamels and paper. It is a bright white pigment with excellent covering power. It is also a good reflector of infrared radiation and so is used in solar observatories where heat causes poor visibility.
Titanium(IV) oxide is used in sunscreens because it prevents UV light from reaching the skin. Nanoparticles of titanium(IV) oxide appear invisible when applied to the skin.

Besides, there are many other Titanium Products like Titanium Plate and Titanium Forgings.

Furthermore, Zirconium does not absorb neutrons, making it an ideal material for use in nuclear power stations. More than 90% of zirconium is used in this way. Nuclear reactors can have more than 100,000 metres of zirconium alloy tubing. With niobium, zirconium is superconductive at low temperatures and is used to make superconducting magnets.

Zirconium metal is protected by a thin oxide layer making it exceptionally resistant to corrosion by acids, alkalis and seawater. For this reason it is extensively used by the chemical industry.
Zirconium(IV) oxide is used in ultra-strong ceramics. It is used to make crucibles that will withstand heat-shock, furnace linings, foundry bricks, abrasives and by the glass and ceramics industries. It is so strong that even scissors and knives can be made from it. It is also used in cosmetics, antiperspirants, food packaging and to make microwave filters.
Zircon is a natural semi-precious gemstone found in a variety of colours. The most desirable have a golden hue. The element was first discovered in this form, resulting in its name. Cubic zirconia (zirconium oxide) is a synthetic gemstone. The colourless stones, when cut, resemble diamonds.
Zircon mixed with vanadium or praseodymium makes blue and yellow pigments for glazing pottery.

For Zirconium Products, it seems more than Titanium. Products like Zirconium Bar, Zirconium Plate, Zirconium Tube, Zirconium Screws, Zirconium Target and Zirconium Pellet are all widely used.

We all know that there are lots of fabric used in our daily clothes or furniture, etc. And a new kind of fabric nowadays are more and more popular. That is Double Brush Fabric.

What is Double Brushed Poly Fabric?
Double brushed polyester knit is a fashion apparel fabric that has 4 way stretch made from polyester and spandex blend. This fabric has undergone treatment which brushes the surface of the fabric giving it the look of suede and is commonly available in single or double brushed. It is soft to touch (some would refer to it as being buttery or soft like a peach) and made famous by LuLaRoe as it is the base fabric for most of their garments.

Fabric has fantastic colour fastness and washes well time and time agai however, being polyester it isn't environmentally friendly. Fabric has a floaty drape and doesn't require ironing, it can be used as a base fabric for most apparel patterns that asks for stretch knits. There's an array of solid colours and prints available in the marketplace, in Australia we are slowly "warming" up to the idea of double brushed polyester and as it gets popular you may start seeing a variety of solids and prints being stocked at your local fabric shop.

Another well used fabric is scuba fabric.

What is scuba fabric?
Scuba fabric is a type of double knit made from polyester and spandex, with a very fine gauge thread, and smooth texture. It's a little springy, very smooth and has a nice drape to it. Scuba fabric should not be confused with neoprene which is a thicker synthetic rubber and fabric hybrid that is more durable, flexible and is often used for wetsuits. You can also buy a fabric called scuba crepe which is a lighter version of scuba, more like a traditional Lycra but with a crepe textured finish. It can be divided into many types like Scuba Knitting Fabric, Scuba Crepe Fabric, etc.

After the war, it was discovered that Neoprene had a variety of uses beyond military equipment. For instance, manufacturers started making wetsuits with this material, and Neoprene became incredibly popular among surfers and scuba divers.

One of the issues with scuba diving at the time was the fact that most other fabrics to make scuba suits were water permeable. Neoprene, however, makes a total water barrier between the skin and the environment surrounding it, which makes it ideally suited for scuba diving gear. While neoprene might be a dream come true for scuba divers, this waterproof feature detracts from its performance in the wider world of apparel. Neoprene isn't breathable at all; any sweat you exude while you're wearing this scuba diving material will stay between your skin and the material until you take the piece of Neoprene clothing off.

This factor makes it so that Neoprene is only truly suited for loose-fitting clothing or clothing that doesn't cover a large portion of the body. While its stretchiness would make it an ideal material for tight-fitting sportswear, its lack of breathability detracts from this benefit significantly.

Except these, many other kinds of fabric are used for different usages, such as Jacquard Fabric, Roma Fabric, Bullet Fabric, Woven Fabric, SPH Fabric, etc.

The Snowboard Cores are the snowboard's engine room. It is where the riding characteristics are created and it's one of the most important areas of the board. It's essentially several laminated strips of wood glued together - from which the rest of the board is built around.

So what separates a good core from a not so good one? And how will it affect your riding?

CORE MATERIALS
Each species of tree has slightly different attributes which engineers take advantage of in order to create responsive and fun boards. Each species' attributes are measured against four factors:
Density - A measure of mass per unit of volume. (the amount of wood packed into 1 square inch)
Burst strength - The pressure at which body will burst. (the force needed to squash a piece of wood from each end till it breaks outwards)
Tensile strength - Measures the force required to pull something such to the point where it breaks
Flex strength –The pressure required to bend a cross-section until it fractures.

Poplar tree
POPLAR AND ASPEN
Both woods are classed as mid-hardness and have almost identical properties. These woods can form the whole Wood Core Skis (usually on beginner to intermediate boards) or the main foundation for higher-spec cores.

Beech tree
BEECH, MAPLE AND ASH
Again, these woods have similar properties and are used to create performance zones within the core. These harder woods are more resistant to compression and are stiffer and heavier. For this reason they are normally only used within strategic areas of the board. Combining the harder woods with a mid-hard wood allows the designer to optimize the performance and weight.

Birch tree
BIRCH
Birch comes from the same family of tree as Beech, but its higher tensile strength combined with the lower density make it ideal for snowboard designers who want to take advantage of its added power without adding too much to the overall weight of the board.

Bamboo tree
BAMBOO
Bamboo has excellent tensile strength that is used it to add pop to a core or even for reinforcing the snowboard's structural layers. Bamboo can grow at the rate of 4 to 5ft per day making it one of the most environmentally sound products available.

Paulownia tree
ABACHI AND BALSA
They are usually combined with harder woods and placed in lower stressed areas of the core as a means of saving weight. Abachi is from the same family as Balsa but has a far higher density. Use of these woods is becoming less common due to the serious environmental impact of Central and South American deforestation.

Paulownia tree
Paulownia
Paulownia is one of the new woods being used in snowboard manufacturing. It has several properties that make it attractive to snowboard designers. The first of these is its combination of lightweight and strength. Weighing not much more than super light Balsa wood Paulownia has a strength rating closer to the traditional woods used in core building.

Different board cores are suitable for different kinds of board like Edge Glued Board, Finger Jointed Board ans so on. They are designed as Surfboard Cores, Skateboard Wood Cores, Surfboard Cores, Wooden Crafts, Solid Wood Beam and Wood Slats as well.

Inflatable pools and floats are typically made of polyvinyl chloride, a widely produced synthetic plastic polymer that has been made softer with the addition of plasticizers like phthalates. This form of polyvinyl chloride is commonly referred to as PVC or vinyl by inflatable pool manufacturers.
A kids pool is a small pool designed for children. It usually measures between three and five feet in diameter and is made of inflatable or hard plastic.
Adult Pools mean no children allowed, and usually no one under 18–21 years in age allowed in the pool area.
Pool Floats is a device used for toddlers or other very young children who are beginning to learn how to swim, or during exercise for therapeutic or training purposes. These devices, which come in many shapes and types, are used to aid them with buoyancy, or for floating on for fun.

Inflatable Pool Lounges have ergonomic headrests with cushioned backrests and ultra-lux deluxe lounge breathable fabric, which surrounds the lounge with coolweave mesh fabric providing supportive balance head-to-toe.
A swim ring is a toroid-shaped (hence the name "ring" or "doughnut") inflatable water toy. The swim ring was derived from the inner tube, the inner, enclosed, inflatable part of older vehicle tires. The inner tube, when inflated, was used as a water toy, and as a floating object to lounge on. The swim ring is not designed to save individuals from drowning.
Baby Swim Pool Floats are inflatable safety seat swimming ring for infants aged 0-24 months.
Kids Swim Rings are toroid-shaped inflatable water toys for kids in the water.

Smart Motor Valve is a control valve with a microprocessor that can realize intelligent control functions.
Screw Valve utilizes a screw or an auger to turn fluid down a cylinder. The rotation of the screw creates a shearing force on the fluid which forces the fluid down the threads of the screw. This technology has been around since the Egyptian times where the technology was used to move water from the Nile River.
A ball valve is a flow control device which uses a hollow, perforated and pivoting ball to control liquid flowing through it. It is open when the ball's hole is in line with the flow inlet and closed when it is pivoted 90-degrees by the valve handle, blocking the flow. The handle lies flat in alignment with the flow when open, and is perpendicular to it when closed, making for easy visual confirmation of the valve's status. The shut position 1/4 turn could be in either clockwise or counter-clockwise direction.
Fast closing valve is a kind of pressure reducing valve in which the an automatic process control valve for fluid pressure control is used for unmanned machinery spaces.
Industrial valves are devices that are used to regulate liquids, gases, and slurries. The flow of liquids or gases can be controlled using these valves. This can be done through pipes and other passageways by opening, closing, and partially obstructing the passageway or pipe.
Electric Orbit Ball Valve is a type of ball valve. It employs a tilt and turn mechanism that eliminates seal rubbing.
A glass connector is a type of accessory that is used for joining mirror pane or sheets together. They are a type of hinge that is commonly used for connecting panes in the construction industry. It is a significant element for a mirror door installed at home and office improvement projects.
High-Temp. Glass Connector is a device that is widely used for circuit connection between various electronic instruments, electronic equipment in sealed containers and power sources.
Valve Wires Connector Type is designed to supply power and, in some cases, signal transmission to end devices like solenoid valves by connecting them to voltage supplies and/or data networks.
The Water Meter Valve shuts off the water at the meter itself, which is typically installed when the meter is put into place. This allows water lines on both sides of the meter to remain full of water and under pressure while the meter is being serviced.

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient is a substance used in a finished pharmaceutical product (FPP), intended to furnish pharmacological activity or to otherwise have direct effect in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease, or to have direct effect in restoring, correcting or modifying physiological functions in human beings.
Pharmaceutical intermediates are the drugs used as raw materials for the production of bulk drugs, or they can refer to a material produced during the synthesis of an API that must undergo further molecular change or processing before it becomes an API.
Fine chemicals are complex, single, pure chemical substances, produced in limited quantities in multipurpose plants by multistep batch chemical or biotechnological processes. They are described by exacting specifications, used for further processing within the chemical industry and sold for more than $10/kg (see the comparison of fine chemicals, commodities and specialties). The class of fine chemicals is subdivided either on the basis of the added value (building blocks, advanced intermediates or active ingredients), or the type of business transaction, namely standard or exclusive products.

Sex dolls are defined as human-like, anatomically correct, anthropomorphic dolls created and used to generate or enhance sexual arousal and pleasure in both solo and partnered sex.
A G-spot vibrator is a sex toy with female and male varieties. The female version of the device is built to massage the G-spot, described as a bean-shaped area of the vagina. Some women report that it is an erogenous zone which, when stimulated, can lead to strong sexual arousal, powerful orgasms and female ejaculation. The male version of the G-spot vibrator is used for massaging the prostate for both sexual and health-related reasons.
Clitoral vibrators are vibrators designed to externally stimulate a woman's clitoris for her sexual pleasure and orgasm. They are sex toys created for massaging the clitoris, and are not penetrating sex toys, although the shape of some vibrators allows for penetration and the stimulation of inner erogenous zones for extra sexual pleasure. Regardless of the design, the main function of the clitoral vibrator is to vibrate at varying speeds and intensities. Vibrators are normally driven by batteries and some of them can be used underwater.
A sex toy is an object or device that is primarily used to facilitate human sexual pleasure, such as a dildo or vibrator. Many popular sex toys are designed to resemble human genitals, and may be vibrating or non-vibrating. The term sex toy can also include BDSM apparatus and sex furniture such as slings; however, it is not applied to items such as birth control, pornography, or condoms. Alternative terms for sex toy include adult toy and the dated euphemism marital aid. Marital aid also has a broader meaning and is applied to drugs and herbs marketed to enhance or prolong sex.
A dildo is a sex toy, often explicitly phallic in appearance, intended for sexual penetration or other sexual activity during masturbation or with sex partners. Dildos can be made from a number of materials and shaped like an erect human penis. They are typically about the average length of an erect penis, 4–6 inches (10–15 cm), but some may be longer. A dildo's circumference is typically 4–5 inches (10–13 cm).
Koro Ball is the vaginal ball that can be used for vaginal sex.
Bullet vibrators are compact sex toys that are usually shaped like, well, bullets. They’re meant to be used externally to stimulate erogenous zones like the clitoris during partnered play or masturbation, but the bullet comes in many forms and serves many pleasure purposes.
Sex sleeve is a silicone device often used to improve the sex life of men suffering from erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation. Penile support sleeves are a type of silicone sex toy used for treating erectile dysfunction or for sexual enhancement purposes.
TPE sex dolls are made from a new type of material synthesized by combining silicone with polyvinyl chloride. The letters TPE stand for “thermoplastic elastomer” and this new material feels more like real human skin than anything science has created until now. It is soft and responds to pressure. Men who touch it for the first time can’t believe how amazing it is.
Smart Sex Dolls are high-quality TPE sex dolls without the AI and Robotic capabilities.

A fry pan, frypan, or skillet is a flat-bottomed pan used for frying, searing, and browning foods. It is typically 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12 in) in diameter with relatively low sides that flare outwards, a long handle, and no lid. Larger pans may have a small grab handle opposite the main handle. A pan of similar dimensions, but with less flared, more vertical sides and often with a lid, is called a sauté pan. While a sauté pan can be used as a fry pan, it is designed for lower heat cooking methods, namely sautéing.
A Sauce Pan is a piece of cookware that functions as a small, deep pot for cooking liquids on a stovetop. This type of pan is deeper than a standard sauté pan or frying pan, but shallower than a stockpot. A sauce pan has a flat bottom and steep sides with straight edges like a pot, and a long handle like a pan.
A casserole (French: diminutive of casse, from Provençal cassa 'pan') is a variety of a large, deep pan or bowl used for cooking a variety of dishes in the oven; it is also a category of foods cooked in such a vessel. To distinguish the two uses, the pan can be called a "casserole dish" or "casserole pan", whereas the food is simply "a casserole". The same pan is often used both for cooking and for serving.
A wok is a deep round-bottomed cooking pot that originated in China. It is common in China and similar pans are found in parts of East, South and Southeast Asia,[1] as well as being popular in other parts of the world.
Cookware Set is a food preparation equipment, such as cooking pots, pans, baking sheets etc. used in kitchens. Cookware Set is used on a stove or range cooktop. Some utensils are considered cookware. There is a great variety of cookware Set in shape, material, and inside surface. Some materials conduct heat well; some retain heat well. Some surfaces are non-stick; some require seasoning.

A polishing pad is a tool that can be used to apply polish to a surface and process it in a mechanical way. Although these are most commonly used in combination with a machine polisher, there are also polishing pads to be used by hand.
This 7-inch Flexible Resin polishing pad is designed to provide a high luster shine and works great on concrete countertops and edge polishing.
We manufactures a great selection of metal polishing pads. These metal polishing pads provide smooth to mirror finish on all types of metals.
An abrasive brush is used for light deburring, metal finishing, cleaning rust, oxides, defuzzing wood panels, and denibbing plastic. This type of industrial brush will not snag on cut metal edges. A sanding brush is primarily used for smoothing treated wood surfaces.
Silicon Carbide Filament Brushes are harder, sharper and more aggressive than aluminum oxide and because their more durable, they are preferred for finishing ferrous metals.
A Steel Wire Brush is a tool consisting of a brush whose bristles are made of steel wire. The steel used is generally a medium- to high-carbon variety and very hard and springy.
Resin Filled cup wheels are perfect for chip free grinding and honing. Diamonds are specifically placed on the cup wheel for maximum speed. Resin is filled to eliminate bouncing, or "biting" into the material-the things that cause chipping.
A diamond cup wheel is an abrasive tool with diamond bonded to the metal around its periphery. The name's genesis arose from the shape of the tool due to a depression in the center. Furthermore, the style of the bonded diamond comes in different types. As the case may be, they are strictly for grinding, smoothening, or polishing. Other grinding wheels include the straight grinding wheel, grinding dish wheel, segmented wheel, etc.
With CNC Tools, manufacturing equipment and tools are controlled by programmed software to complete various complex factory operations. Common CNC Tools' types include but are not limited to three-dimensional cutting tools, lathes, routers, mills and grinders.
A backing pad is a power tool attachment that secures and supports accessories used for sanding and polishing. The abrasive or polishing medium is held securely on the face of the backing pad by means of a locking disc or hook and loop fasteners.

Plywood is one of the most widely recognized multi-purpose engineered wood-based panel products used in Canadian construction projects. Plywood binds resin and wood fibre sheets to form a?composite material sold in panels. A typical plywood panel has face veneers of a higher grade than the core veneers. The function of the core layers is to increase the separation between the outer layers where the bending stresses are highest, improving resistance to bending forces.

How is plywood made?
Plywood panels are fabricated from multiple layers or plys of softwood veneer glued together with the grain direction of each layer of veneer perpendicular to that of the adjacent layers. These cross-laminated sheets of wood veneers are fastened together with a waterproof phenol-formaldehyde resin adhesive and cured under heat and pressure. In BC, plywood is made from softwood species, usually Douglas-fir or spruce, pine and fir?(collectively known as?Canadian softwood plywood—or CSP). The most common dimension is 4 feet × 8 feet. Plywood varies in thickness, the most common being ?-inch.

What is plywood used for?
There are a range of plywood products like Film Faced Plywood, Commercial Plywood, Melamine Plywood, Fancy Plywood, PVC Plywood, HPL Plywood, etc. for structure and non-structural uses suitable for both wet and dry service conditions, including subflooring, single-layer flooring, wall, roof and floor sheathing, structural insulated panels, webs of wood I-joists and concrete formwork. As exterior wall and roof sheathing, plywood can provide resistance to lateral forces such as wind and earthquake loads and form an integral component of the building envelope. It may be used as both structural sheathing and finish cladding. For exterior cladding applications, specialty plywoods are available in a broad range of patterns and textures, combining the natural characteristics of wood with the strength and rigidity.

Sometimes we face the challenge of choosing between various materials for the same task or furniture. There are so many things that you have to consider, like the cost, durability, aesthetics, and so on. Plywood and particle board are similar types of materials that can be used alternatively, or maybe not. The usage or application of either of these materials depends on a lot of factors. While both materials are available in similar sheets and varying thicknesses, you might not know how each of them can be used at home.

Simply put, particle board is a waste-wood product made by heat pressing wood chips, sawmill shavings, or even sawdust and resin together. To make the end product water resistant, fireproof, and/or insect-proof chemicals are used including wax, dyes, wetting agents, and release agents. After the resin, chemicals, and wood scraps have been mixed together, the liquid mixture is made into a sheet. The weight of the wood chips is evenly distributed to make sure the finished board is not top heavy. Compression is applied to the particle board sheet multiple times to create the tightest possible bond between the resin and the wood bits. A popular type of particle board that you may see is oriented strand board (OSB). This wood composite is very important to home and commercial engineers for structural purposes. Oriented strand board is easily identifiable by its manufacturing process that layers strands of wood in specific orientations. Most home and commercial builders use OSB particle board for floor and wall bases. And also, there are many different kinds of particle board, such as Melamine Particle Board, Ordinary Particle Board and so on.

Now that you know what particle board means, it is important to differentiate clearly between the advantages of particle board vs plywood. Particle board has plenty of advantages in its kitty that can make it the ideal choice for a lot of things.

The surfaces of particleboard is usually smoother than that of plywood.
Particle boards are created using scraps of other lumber products, which makes it environment-friendly.
Particle boards are very light in weight. Furniture made from these boards is relatively easy to transport and move around.
Particle board is definitely more cost effective than plywood.
