a transparent Certincoat
coating is applied to interior glazing. It enables savings in heating costs on the order of:
A: 10%
B: 30%
®
A: 10 times their mass
in liquid
B: 100 times their mass
in liquid
3. Glass bottles whose surfaces are treated with
Certincoat® and Tegoglas® coatings are stronger.
The lifespan of returnable bottles can therefore be extended by up to:
A: 20 cycles B: 50 cycles
A: 99% of bacteria and viruses
B: Seawater
6.A plastic can be transparent or tinted, is
resistant to heat, scratches and cleaning products and is used in bathrooms to make shower enclosures, bathtubs and washbasins. Which plastic is it?
A: Altuglas® acrylic glass (or PMMA)
B: Kepstan® PEKK
2. White roofs and walls protected by Kynar
Aquatec® transparent resin reflect light rays and reduce energy consumption from
air conditioning. Thanks to Kynar Aquatec®, the paint’s whiteness and reflectivity last longer than:
4.
A: 10 years
B: 20 years
The Kynar® fluorinated
polymer is used to make filtration membranes to produce drinking water. These membranes have the ability to filter:
7. Bostik, Arkema’s subsidiary, has developed
an insulating interior coating that reduces heat loss by 15%. It contains:
A: Glass microbeads that capture heat
B: Tiny particles of
straw that form an insulating layer after drying
