Slightly textured - similar to the texture to that is embossed into the vinyl top of a car. . We often say that the panels mimic the look and feel of a refrigerator door (the texture is a little different, but this is a great analogy). The light pebble grain texture pattern is embossed into the aluminum sheets (there is no vinyl whatsoever on this cover!).

The powder coated surface of the cover is a smooth powder coated satin black finish. The top to the canister is slightly textured ABS plastic that is similar in texture to that is embossed into the vinyl top of a car (or virtually identical to a soft vinyl cover. See similar questions...

We offer a rugged texture to resist scratches from normal wear and tear. It is our goal that our product lasts and looks good for years on your vehicle. See similar questions...

mil PVC or greater already has an embossing on one side, processed during manufacture that provides a controlled pattern. This embossing helps PVC, already known for its flexibility, to conform to and 'grip' the contours of the ground. See similar questions...

All anatomic (a.k.a. teardrop) shaped implants are textured, as the texturing increases friction and helps keep them from rotating. Since a teardrop implant is different at the bottom than the top, it is important that it maintains its position. Back See similar questions...

All surgeons have different opinions regarding massaging smooth breast implants implants. Some doctors ask all their patients to do it, and others say that it is not necessary or beneficial. The doctors who suggest it believe that it helps to keep the pocket open, thus helping to deter capsule contracture. Whether or not your doctor asks you to massage has nothing to do with how the surgery is performed. It's simply a matter of whether or not your surgeon prefers and recommends massage.

Textured implants were intended to lessen the risk of capsular contracture (hardening of the breast from scar tissue forming around the implant). The success of this is controversial. Many surgeons prefer to use textured implants when they use contoured (anatomic implants). See similar questions...

Any surface onto which a thick media is applied. There are texture paints that have sand or silica mixed in, or actual sculpted areas applied to a wall by trowel to produce a myriad of effects. The origins may have been as a fix for constantly cracking plaster walls or ceilings, to simply a desire to manipulate 'liquid stone' or plaster products into three-dimensional art. The methods and techniques are as endless as the artist's imagination. See similar questions...

Many techniques have been developed over the years to decrease the scar tissue (capsular contracture) around breast implants. Originally it was thought that a textured shell may decrease the capsule, but this in fact is probably not true. Some plastic surgeons feel that a capsule may cause more rippling and other difficulties, probably does not decrease the capsule formation rate. Smooth implants are used more commonly in the US.

Smooth implants have a smooth silicone rubber exterior while textured implants have a rough surface usually composed of silicone rubber. Other materials, such as polyurethane foam have been used in the past to create a textured surface, but only silicone is available presently. See similar questions...

Yes, but expect to use more glaze when doing a positive application. Negative effects may be more difficult when removing glaze from the surface. See similar questions...

Texturing refers to the surface of the breast implant. Textured implants have a rough surface in an attempt to prevent contracture formation (especially when the implants are placed above the muscle). This does not appear to be relevant in the sub-muscular position. Textured implants may be associated with rippling more than smooth implants. See similar questions...

This option is also entirely up to you. If you are getting contoured, textured is recommended so that the implant does not flip or rotate. There are smooth and textured surfaces available on both Mentor and McGhan round implants. Some surgeons prefer textured unders when placing silicone-filled implants under the muscle and smooths for silicone overs. Some prefer smooth salines in any placement, and of course, vice versa for all options. See similar questions...

The smoothness of the surface has a major influence on the air requirements. The rougher the surface, the more air will be required to maintain the air film. On a rough, sandpaper-type surface increased friction can cause more wear on the air bearing material. See similar questions...

Almost all rapid prototyping materials can have surface finish and cosmetic improvements made to them. Both SLS and SLA can be sanded, filled and painted to look like injection-molded plastic. Surface texturing can even be applied if time and budget allows. Most parts, however, do not require high level finishing, and are simply sanded and bead blasted. This creates and nice surface finish that is excellent for engineering purposes. See similar questions...

If you have a textured wall, a wood-paneled wall, a brick or concrete wall, or any other rough surface, we recommend the installation of a "liner paper," followed by 2 coats of flat latex paint. A liner paper is simply a blank wallpaper which covers irregularities in the wall surface. See similar questions...

After mixing and applying to the surface to be repaired, using a putty knife or rubber gloves that have been dipped in water, rub on the surface and you will form a very smooth surface. Make sure you clean your mixing and shaping tools as A + B? Epoxy Putties and Pastes will cure on metals and plastics. See similar questions...

Some studies show a decreased risk of scar tissue with textured implants. However, textured implants may increase the risk of visible rippling, particularly when implants are placed above the muscle or in women with very thin skin. See similar questions...

Our mantels are available in two finishes: a smooth finish and a distressed finish. Our standard smooth finish is like fine honed limestone. (Not shiny like polished granite.) To achieve this finish, we wet sand or lightly acid etch the material after removing it from the mold. Our distressed finish, achieved by sandblasting, has a rougher surface texture and presents an older or more rustic appearance. See similar questions...
