Do I have to separate glass, plastic, and aluminum?

Recycling FAQs
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...

How can I recycle: Glass, Plastic, Paper, Aluminum, Scrap Metal?

FAQ
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.

Why do you use separate aluminum floor and bulkhead panels in the cockpit?

FIA Frequently Asked Questions
We have tried to duplicate the construction of a "real" car as much as possible, and avoid the dune buggy syndrome of a single interior shell. This is a bit more work to put together, but saves weight and allows much more design flexibility. Our aluminum tunnel is removable for service, and we have an access panel behind the seats for rear brake service. Separate footboxes also allow us to create a stronger structure to support the cowl and door mounting hinges.

Doesn't plastic get brittle when it's cold?

Aphano hidden deck fasteners are made for composite decking.
Yes. All plastics get brittle in low temperatures. However, when installed according to instructions, Aphano hidden deck fasteners function perfectly in cold weather. Aphano hidden deck fasteners were originally developed in Montana. If Aphano hidden deck fasteners can stand up to a Montana winter, they can perform anywhere!

What about bearing materials such as Plastic, Steel Roller Bearings, or Aluminum?

Golden Manufacturing Boatlift FAQs
Plastic will work OK in light duty applications, but in a heavy load situations they can become noisy and can’t be greased, swelling and shrinking from moisture and temperature change can cause the shaft to lock up. Plastic will also break down from the UV rays of the sun and from heavy loads. Steel bearings will rust and since they are sealed the grease will dry out. Aluminum bearing blocks are the only way to go.

Why doesn't insurance pay for Plastic Surgery procedures?

Palm Harbor Plastic Surgery Centre--frequently asked questio...
By definition Cosmetic Surgery is a procedure performed on a normal structure or part of the body. When cosmetic surgery is done, it is to improve or enhance that structure. These procedures are never covered by insurance policies. Reconstructive Surgery is done to restore or repair a structure or body part. Any time an injury occurs or a structure is removed due to cancer, the reconstruction is covered by insurance.

What does ULV mean?

Jasmic | Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
ULV stands for Ultra Low Volume and is defined as the lowest amount of liquid per unit area (chemical plus carrier) needed to achieve efficient disease and pest control. The volume of spray liquid is directly related to the droplet size, which is generally accepted as from 0 to 50 microns in the ULV spectrum, with 15-20 microns as the volume medium diameter (VDM).

Can we chrome plate aluminum wheels?

Frequently Asked Questions - Alloy Polishing Co.
No, in fact, we would recommend against plating aluminum wheels. At any time, a rock pit, scrape or deicing/harsh chemicals can break the seal between the plating and the alloy, allowing corrosion to start, resulting In bubbling under the chrome surface, then ultimately peeling. Solution, those wheels can be polished to as good or better of a finish than chrome, and with a little bit of maintenance, they can be kept that way.

Which is better, nylon or aluminum?

SlingRings.com | Frequently asked questions
We designed our aluminum rings to have all of the same great characteristics of our nylon rings. They are smooth, strong, safe and weld-free. They are lightweight and come in nine great colors. The nylon and aluminum rings come in slightly different sizes. The nylon rings are thicker, and easier to adjust. The aluminum rings are grippier, and fancier looking. The colors are slightly different. The nylon rings are slightly more durable.

What About Aluminum Washable Air Filters?

Nordic Pure: Frequently Asked Questions
Though we touched on the subject at the beginning of the FAQ’s, you will find this is no longer a popular option as the handling of messy, used filters combined with the cleaning process turns off most people. Reusable filters must be cleaned and maintained as much as 2-3 times more frequently than disposable pleated air filters. Pay special attention to the removal of all moisture before reinserting the reusable air filter back into the HVAC system.

How is aluminum made?

Aluminum Technology, Aluminum Testing, Aluminum Research
Basically, aluminum is found in the form of an ore called bauxite. Bauxite is refined by the Bayer process to produce alumina, which is turn is converted to aluminum metal via the Hall-Heroult smelting process. The aluminum metal can then be alloyed with other elements or used in the unalloyed form. This serves as the feedstock for casting processes or wrought processing.

What do I use Aluminum Sulfate for?

Welcome to Good Earth!
Aluminum sulfate acidifies (reduces the pH of the soil). Some plants have a high requirement for microelements, which are more available in the acid pH range 4.5 to 5.5. These acid preferring plants include: Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Holly, Birch, Blue Hydrangeas, Blueberries, Begonias, Camellia's, Fuchsia's, Gardenia's & Magnolia's. Gardeners realize that the key to increased yields and a successful garden is knowing their soil pH and nutrient levels.

Why doesn't Flint River Ranch have a separate puppy formula?

Flint River Ranch Ultra Premium Pet Food
Flint River Ranch does not make breed-specific food, nor do they make puppy food. The reason is because puppy formulas are a very recent trend in canine nutrition based on marketing speculation (not science) that puppies need a different diet than adults. This is not supported in wild canines, nor is it supported over the thousands of years of domestic dog history. Once a puppy is weaned, their physiologies are ready for the same foods that the adults eat.

Why NOT PLASTIC?

ARA Signs: Custom aluminum signs: FAQ
Although initially inexpensive, plastic signs always become BRITTLE and CRACK when exposed to the sun (UV rays) and frequently need to be replaced. Although a good choice for some indoor applications, they are NOT REFLECTIVE, need additional bracing if pole mounted and are therefore not a good choice for outdoor use.

Do I have to have a separate computer?

Substitute Calling System - Callplus+
No, not at all. The Callplus+ software/hardware operates on just about any existing computer in the school. An available serial port, and any IBM or compatible with Windows 2000, or XP are all you need.

Do you offer an aluminum body?

Frequently Asked Questions
Sorry, no. While we use aluminum panels for most of the inner panels, we don't have an aluminum body skin. For that, go to Kirkham Motorsports or Shelby American. It is not practical to retrofit an aluminum skin to our chassis. Why do you bond the body to the chassis? The results are a stiffer overall structure, with no rattles, creaks or shakes. Our fiberglass bodies simply do not get stress cracks, even after many hard miles on the road.
