People generally report that glass provides about 10% better performance than plastic. And there is reason to believe that under windy conditions, glass is preferred since it doesn't flap in the wind and dissipate heat from the cooker. Plastic, however, is often recommended since is much less fragile and easier to transport and works plenty well. One excellent, easily-obtained plastic film is oven cooking bags. These are for sale in grocery stores and cost less than US$1 per bag.

Better food safety for consumers, because utensils are not intended to go inside the bottle, as happens with dressings in jars. Plastic is better for transportation because of fewer broken bottles and less weight per bottle which helps us load more bottles onto each truck and thereby reduce the number of trucks on the roads

Our new bottles are better for you, your kids and the environment because they are lightweight, shatterproof and easily recyclable. We use only the best quality clear plastic bottles because they're easier and more efficient to recycle than glass. They're also the most widely recycled beverage container, and they're recycled to make such useful items as polar fleece and fiber-fill for jackets.

No. You can put anything that you call a bottle or can into the same "Bottles and Cans" recycling bin. We are so clever with those names...

All of our lenses are made of plastic as they are lighter and more popular. Most spectacles are currently made with plastic lenses. If you would like glass please email us and we will advise you of costs etc

You can choose in most cases. If you are concerned with originality then you should select the appropriate top. If cost is a factor the plastic windows are less expensive and also cost less to ship. Glass is considered maintenance free and should last as long as your top. Plastic will deteriorate and how long it will last is dependent on many factors such as where it is stored, how much sun it is in, weather, etc.

All FRP laminates are a combination of fibers (FR)a plastic resin (P). Panels offered on Outletpanel.com are manufactured using polyester thermo set resins and glass fibers. NO, outletpanel.com is only a venue, or reseller of products made by RESOLITE and other manufacturers.

Out of 10+ holes I have had drilled they (glass shops) never broke a tank on me and charge$10 - $15 per hole

While it is certainly possible to be successful keeping dart frogs with out a glass lid on their tank, it removes a lot of the margin for error. Dart frogs need a very high humidity to be out and about. In their native habitat, the frogs will hide during periods of lower humidity, seeking out moist retreats under logs or in a variety of refuges at or below soil level, where the humidity stays high. In our tanks, we want the frogs to be out and visible.

Glass is clearer and is scratch resistant, but plastic will not shatter into dangerous fragments if broken, either from the inside by an occupant, or by a falling branch from outside. Special glasses are available which are shatter resistant, similar to those used in vehicle windscreens. If children will be using the treehouse, make sure windows that can fully open are positioned over decked areas of the treehouse in case of a fall.

Some species of roaches can climb right up glass or plastic and others can not. Orange Headed Roaches, Discoid Roaches, Orange Spotted Roches and Turkistan Roaches are non-climbers. Hissing Roaches and Lobster Roaches will climb but can easily be contained by smearing a two inch strip along the top of the tank with Vaseline or olive oil.

Glass is a widely recycled item. Unbroken containers are the best, and clear glass is the most valuable. Do not recycle: Pyrex, ceramics, mirrors, light bulbs, plate glass, or tableware. Broken glass is difficult and dangerous to sort. Plastic containers should be marked with a recycling code in the form of a number. The most widely accepted plastics are numbers 1 and 2. Some areas also restrict plastic based on its shape or color.

For short term beer contact (under 3 weeks) plastic works well, and has the advantage of being easier to handle and clean. Plastic can be used for both primary and secondary fermentation, as long as the total contact time of the beer with the plastic is three weeks or less. For long term lagering of beer, use a glass carboy, as glass is completely non porous, and has the advantage of giving you a good look at the fermenting beer.

Plastic lenses are lighter and have 3 x the impact resistance of glass while glass lenses are thinner. No, the price on the frame relates only to the frame. Lens prices vary depending on the material and design of the lenses required. Ask your optometrist or dispenser to advise on the most suitable lens type for your prescription.

lt;All sorts of polyethylene and ceramic ornaments are made for aquarium use that are safe... some even attractive!> Also the lighting on the tank is moderate. I have about a 6 inch Picasso triggerfish that I purchased from ffexpress by the way. He is doing very well. I am curious as to if any corals, anenomes, inverts would be safe in the tank with him. Thanks for your help Not really in a tank of this size..

We cannot expect decals to last forever. Lets face it... Dirt bikes, motocross bikes, ATC's etc. are used in the most abusive conditions on earth for decals. Keep in mind the direct contact with dirt & mud, with the chance of arms & legs rubbing on them, and then there is the pressure washer..

It has been reported that glass provides about 10% better performance than plastic. And there is reason to believe that under windy conditions, glass is preferred since it doesn't flap in the wind and pump heat out of the cooker. Plastic, however, is often recommended since it is much less fragile and easier to transport and works plenty well. Plastic glazings will have to be replaced periodically though since they are broken down by UV light.

The scanner can scan through some reflective surfaces. CD jewel cases, plastic shrink wrap, or plastic bags are examples of materials that can be scanned through. Windshields and other glass surfaces are difficult to scan through.

Glass: Glass offers the best optical clarity, meaning that there is virtually no distortion in glass lenses. This is why it is the material of choice in manufacturers such as Ray-Ban, Revo, Vuarnet, and Serengeti. However, glass is the least impact resistant of all of the material, and may shatter upon impact. Shattering means that the lens will split into small pieces which can easily enter the eye and cause permanent eye injuries or even blindness.
