How minerals are revolutnizing our industries?

Image
 No matter how advanced we get, no matter how much technological revolution we go through, we still remain connected to our dear planet. The planet that is providing us the precious minerals which help in our industries. There are more than 4,000 naturally occurring minerals on our planet. These minerals are naturally occurring and organic. These minerals are used by various industries to manufacture quality products.  For instance, the natural minerals are calcium carbonate , chalk , limestone, and talcum powder.  These are being used by industries such as paint, glass, pharmacy, rubber, plastic, PVC, paper, and others. Likecalcium carbonate is being used in the rubber industry to improve the texture of the rubber and give it a sleek look. Calcium carbonate is also being used in the paper industry to enhance the quality of the paper and to give the white polishing effect. Similarly, the gloss effect that the glass gets is because of the calcium carbonate.  The paint...

Which paint is used for roads?

Image
 Well, if you are thinking that an emulsion paint or a weather shield paint is used on roads, I shall make you aware that the answer is no! The very reason for this is that no matter how high the quality of weather shield or emulsion paint you use on the roads, they will fade away or chip away within months if not days. While a weather shield paint can protect your house for years, it cannot do so on a road.  You ask why? Because you don't walk on the walls of your house, you don't spill water, and you don't run cars and trucks on the walls. But you do on the road. Roads are vulnerable to dust, sunlight, and water. Which makes the road paint chip off.  Yet, this is not the case now. Technology has made a way to this as well.  Technology has introduced Thermoplastic paint which is best suited for roads. This paint is made of fine minerals and resins which makes it reliable for the roads. It is then sprayed in layers to make it reliable and durable.  Here are some...

And my child asked curiously mom, why don't they paint the road at night? And why are they painting the road? Arent they wasting money. At that time, in traffic chaos, I couldn't give a reply. But afterward, I thought of it. And then I made some research.  Upon my research, I found out that the new technology road paint which is known as thermoplastic paint is best suitable when painted in sunlight. Thermoplastic paint is a high-quality paint made through special mineral fillers and resins. It is sprayed through a special machine and has to be painted in sunlight so that when sun heat strikes the paint, the paint gets reflective and shiny as well as strong and durable.  Thus, this is when I realized why it was not being painted with a brush and why through a special machine. It has to be evenly sprayed, dried, and then spr...
