Caesium oxide It is a good electron emitter; however, its high vapor pressure limits its usefulness. Elemental magnesium reduces caesium oxide to elemental caesium, forming magnesium oxide as a side-product: CsO is hygroscopic, forming the corrosive CsOH on contact with water. Caesium oxide Caesium oxide (IUPAC name) or cesium oxide describes inorganic compounds composed of caesium and oxygen. The following binary (containing only Cs and O) oxides of caesium are known: CsO, CsO, CsO, and CsO. Both the oxide and suboxides are brightly coloured. The species CsO forms yellow-orange hexagonal crystals. Caesium oxide is used in photocathodes to detect infrared signals in
Zinc oxide eugenol filling". ZOE cements were introduced in the 1890s. Zinc oxide eugenol is also used as an impression material during construction of complete dentures and is used in the mucostatic technique of taking impressions, usually in a special tray, (acrylic) produced after primary alginate impressions. However, ZOE is not usually used if the patient has large undercuts or tuberosities, whereby silicone impression materials would be better suited. Zinc oxide eugenol is also used as an antimicrobial additive in paint. According to ANSI/ADA Specification no:30 (ISO 3107) and depending on intended use and individual formulation designed for each specific purpose: The chemical
