The brain stem is responsible for some the most basic processes of survival, including the control of hunger, thirst, blood pressure, body temperature and breathing. Continue Reading.
Re: TPR Thermoplastic Rubber. Re: TPR Thermoplastic Rubber -- schase. ThermoPlastic Rubber TPR is best described a material which has both the characteristics of rubber and plastic. Typical applications are the hard rubber/plastic soles on many shoes or the the rubber/plastic material used on hane tool grips. ThermoPlastic Elastomer (TPE) are a softer version of TPR. TPEs permit fabrication of rubber-like articles with the speed, efficiency, and economy of injection molding, extrusion, or blow molding. This material is typically used where flexibility and soft-touch is desired in the application.
(April 2010). Pipe dope is any thread lubricant, thread sealing compound, and anaerobic chemical sealants that are used to make a pipe thread joint leak proof and pressure tight.he application of pipe dope prior to assembly will fill the minute voids between the threads, thus making the joint pressure tight. Pipe dope also acts as a lubricant and helps prevent seizing of the mating parts, which can later cause difficulty during dissasembly.
