Consequently, polyurea coatings are becoming popular among automakers. China, Germany and Japan are the top three passenger vehicle producers. Consequently, polyurea coatings’ applications have advanced greatly in these countries. Volkswagen, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, Opel, and BMW are all part of Germany's extremely competitive automobile industry. This industry generates about USD 468.5 billion, which accounts to about 20% of the total revenue of the German industry. Aromatic isocyanates are formulated with the use of benzene and toluene as raw materials. Methylenediphenyl disocyanate and Toulenedisocyanate are two of the most-common aromatic isocyanates used in the construction industry. The weather of Europe and North America is favorable for the use of aromatic polyurea coatings, which are less expensive than aliphatic substitutions. Aromatic isocyanates are used as a basecoat, meaning they are the first layer applied to any surface. Consequently, they are widely used in vehicles, that is the reason aromatic polyurea coatings market size will grow rapidly. The requirement for polyurea coating will surge in the APAC with a rate of 11.9% in the years to come. The high-pace monetary growth and substantial investment by private and government companies in numerous sectors, such as maritime, manufacturing, automotive, and construction, are driving the regional demand for industrial coatings. It is because of the increasing ecological concerns and requirement for sustainable expansion, polyurea coatings had a major place in the coatings sector, garnering high investment in R&D.

Now for thoughts on arranged marriage AU with Silvio.

Arranged marriage with Silvio is... difficult. He agrees to marrying you, but only just. In fact, it takes a lot of convincing between nobles of both his court and yours for him to finally agree, and even then, it's glaringly obvious how much he hates the idea. Even in your own kingdom, your people hear rumors about his womanizing ways, sleeping with the prettiest women that approach him and the way he all but kicks them out after, leaving you unsure and doubtful about the success of this relationship.

As is expected, your impression of him doesn't change much after the first meeting, or after attending a nobles party to become acquainted with him and his court, or even after the wedding. He's arrogant, snobby, abrasive, and downright cruel, in all honesty. It's clear what his priorities are, expanding his wealth and the prosperity of his kingdom's economy, without a care for anything else. And you are just the tool to help him branch out and utilize your old kingdom's resources and connections to get what he wants.

There's plenty of arguments in the beginning, and comments from one often incite a smartass response from the other. You have no problem with attending him in his work, meeting the merchants and checking out new wares, getting an idea of what new products will be entering the market. But it quickly wears on you how shallow he seems, his focus on glam and money and status, and the way he tries to treat you like an object as well. It's almost endless the way he tries to throw expensive jewels and silks and rare items at you, dressing you like a living doll sometimes, but they're all empty gestures.

Every attempt to get closer to him as a person seems to be met with a brick wall, answering questions about his work but never anything personal. He avoids your touch like the plague, something like fear or vulnerability visible in his eyes that only serves to confuse you, and snaps at you when you try to approach. It eventually results in the first full fight, plenty of yelling and curse words exchanged before it ends with doors being slammed. Silvio's attendant, Carlo, seems to fear him but still makes an effort to apologize secretly on his behalf, helping to calm you down a little.

This explosion of feelings only pushes you to work harder, determined to change his opinion and accept you as his partner. For a while, it feels like nothing is changing, and that your efforts are for nothing. But the truth is, even before the first big fight, Silvio had fallen for you early, and he fell hard. He just couldn't bring himself to make himself vulnerable like that. Anybody could be bought with money, he had been convinced of that time and time again, and although it was unlikely anyone had riches to match his, he couldn't take that chance with someone he was legally tied to.

But somewhere in the arguments, the sass, and your persistence in breaking down his walls, you'd achieved your goal unknowingly in exposing the true man inside. It takes longer than both of you would like for him to accept these feelings, and even longer for him to come clean about how he got here. But once he accepts that he is yours, it's like a change overcomes him.

True to the dalmatian on his coat of arms, he changes from his prior abrasive attitude to one of protection and loyalty. Silvio is no stranger to the way people use money to buy others, and he works to protect you from being used as he had been in the past. The sassy remarks continue, but you both do it lovingly now, a strongly knit bond connecting you as you work together for the prosperity of the kingdom. Silvio never would have imagined forging a union not bought by his massive wealth in the past, but now that he has you, he realizes you were truly the answer all along.

this started out as a short rant about non-stick cookware but i've got an infodump about cookware in general and suggestions for what's the most useful vs the least useful in the kitchen. the thing about cooking is you can do a lot with a little equipment, despite appearances to the contrary. however the vessels you cook in are the most used tools in the kitchen, aside from a chef's knife

ok, first my little rant about non-stick cookware:

it doesn't last, and that's the main flaw of non-stick cookware. whether it has a non-stick coating or it's a special material that is inherently non-stick (at first), eventually they wear down and the non-stick benefits you bought the pan for pretty much disappear.

that isn't to say non-stick cookware is not useful. I have one non-stick frying pan in my kitchen and I use it to cook eggs and other things that are notorious for sticking. i also use it to reheat leftovers just because it's easier to clean. that's all i use it for

so, if you're in the market for cookware because you're moving out or just finally getting a kitchen of your own, do not go buying all non-stick pots and pans. sauce pans, skillets, stock pots (the big pots you use for soup), sauté pans, etc, those actually need your food to stick in some cases, especially for soups and sauces. why's that?

it's about the fond. example: when you're making a soup you usually start by sautéing solid ingredients in the pan first. those get browned and they leave a bit of slightly-burned foodstuff on the bottom of the pot. that's called fond. it's super concentrated savory flavor. right before you add the stock to the soup, you "deglaze" the pan by adding a little bit of liquid to the bottom of the pot and gently scraping it off and integrating it into the soup. fond is also like the basis of all sauces and stews and gravies pretty much anything else you're cooking

where should you buy cookware? obviously you can always buy new, I suggest buying direct from the manufacturer if you really want new. you can also find good cookware at garage sales.

if you have access to them, restaurant supply stores have cheap cookware but it's also made to be beat to death in a commercial kitchen. it works just as well as the stuff aimed at the consumer because, well, metal pans are metal pans. it's not rocket science. but there is cheap bad cookware in the restaurant supply store so shop carefully

so what kind of cookware should you buy? here are options i recommend, but not in any particular order:

stainless steel

stainless steel pans are versatile and they last forever. they work on the stovetop and they go in the oven too. so not only can you use them to fry up some veggies, you can also use them to roast a beast in the oven. they're easy to keep clean, though they eventually get a patina especially on the bottom. use dish soap. the easiest way to get tough spots off them are gentle abrasives like Barkeeper's Friend. these range from cheap to expensive, and some of the expensive ones are worth it (but not too expensive. like $100-200 range for really nice ones. remember, they last forever, so it's like a one-time fee)

good stainless steel pans should be heavy. if you're out shopping for them, pick them up and compare how they feel. if you spot a really cheap one and it feels light like a non-stick pan, avoid it.

carbon steel

these got popular lately, and frankly i don't have too much experience with them since the one i had ended up being left behind in a move. however they're totally fine to work with and are easier to maintain than a cast iron pan. however they sometimes come with wooden handles (a lot of them are wok-shaped because, well, a lot of woks are carbon steel), so remember you can't put wooden-handle pans in the oven. also since they're thinner they're probably not as good for the oven as other materials in terms of both performance and longevity

taking care of them is a little harder than stainless steel, because after you wash and dry them, you have to coat them in a thin layer of oil to prevent rusting

cast iron

okay first i want to get the cleaning bit out the way: YOU CAN WASH YOUR CAST IRON PANS WITH DISH SOAP. that bullshit about only using salt and water and never getting soap on it is from an era when soaps were made of lye. MODERN DETERGENTS ARE NOT MADE OF LYE, THEY'RE NOT EVEN SOAP. HOWEVER: DO NOT SCRUB YOUR CAST IRON WITH METAL SCRUB SPONGES

now about cast iron itself: it's cheap and it's a long-term investment. your cast iron gradually becomes a non-stick pan over time if you maintain its seasoning. a cast iron pan becomes seasoned naturally over time as long as you wash it soon after it cools down from cooking (don't ever leave food or water in it, it will rust), and after it's clean, you cover it with an extremely thin layer of cooking oil.

you can re-season cast iron that has lost its seasoning too. i don't want to turn this post into a cast-iron infodump post so i'll leave it to you to google "how to season cast iron pans" and "how to maintain cast iron pans". just remember the "don't wash it with soap" line is bullshit unless you actually have dish soap that contains lye, like where'd you get that?

these are also great for cooking in the oven as well as the stovetop. their high-density and dark color make for good heat distribution. a lot of people swear by cast iron as the best material to sear meat with, however i never really noticed the difference between cast iron and stainless steel.

enameled cast iron

le creuset can sit on it and spin. don't buy their shit it's overpriced. enameled cast iron is much more affordable from companies like lodge who already make cheap, good, regular cast iron pans. it's a cast iron pan coated with ceramic. enameled cast iron is really good for even heat distribution, however you do have to be careful not to chip it. it may also, despite your best efforts, just wear down over time because ceramic isn't as wear-resistant as metal.

enameled pans can go in the oven as well.

non-stick pans

only buy one (1) non-stick pan. make it a frying pan or sauté pan. and do not spend a lot of money on it. like $40-50 tops. i've seen $100+ non-stick pans and i think someone made those as a joke. it's a grift. you will be replacing it on a semi-regular basis depending on how often you use it.

if your non-stick pan uses a coating, if it starts flaking it's time to get rid of it. those ceramic non-stick pans you just gotta toss it when they lose their smoothness

that's it. post over. go cook. if you have any questions send an ask

Just a little Nicky V self indulgent imagination that has been with me for years:

We're sitting atop some building in Diamond City. It's nearing midnight, hardly anyone is still out and about save for the ocasional city guard or nightowl, and the colorful lights about the Diamond City market are beautiful. The only sounds are the howl of the wind and the ocasional bleep from Takahashi below. Nick and I lean against each other, a lit cigarette in his hand, a fifth of brown liquor in mine. We're passing both between the two of us. The yellow halos of his eyes pierce me.

We talk, we laugh. Nick drapes his coat over my shoulders to shield me from a brisk breeze. He tastes like tobacco and whiskey. His intact hand is abrasive, but pleasant, as he frames my cheek.

A Guide To Choose The Right Concrete Sealers For Home

Maintaining the efficiency of the commercial property is extremely important especially the concrete that makes the floor pitch perfect. In fact, not just maintaining but preventing the damage to concrete is equally essential. Concrete is one of the crucial construction elements owing to its strength and longevity. However, because concrete is porous, it can absorb soluble salts and water, which can be harmful. Furthermore, the absorption of salts by the concrete, especially chlorides, can eventually lead to corrosion problems when steel reinforcement is inserted in the concrete to strengthen it. 

As a result, opting for the right type of concrete sealers is of utmost necessity. It ensures protection by shielding surfaces from a wide range of water-related issues caused by the cycles of thawing and freezing, stains from dirt, oil, and other impurities. In addition, it also prevents an individual from investing unnecessarily.  

Understanding The Role Of Concrete Sealers

The sealers for concrete are intended to provide protection for the concrete's surface against degradation, rust, and discolouration over time. Most concrete surface degradation is usually caused by surface moisture penetration. It's essential to safeguard and preserve the concrete surfaces while doing regular maintenance to increase their lifespan. Concrete sealers function by covering your concrete's surface or by penetrating into its pores and attaching to its inherent attributes. There are several types of sealers and choosing the right one can be the game changer. 

How To Choose The Right Concrete Sealers?

In order to choose the right kind of sealers for a concrete surface, one must be aware of the different types of concrete sealers in the market and their benefits. 

Waterproof Concrete Sealers 

A sealer should be a product that has the ability to penetrate deep into the surface as well as the substrate in order to seal and act as a protective covering. A waterproof sealer protects the concrete surface from penetrating water deep into the seal on which it turns into a solid form enclosing all alkali and lime in its impenetrable layer.

As a result, the concrete surface coated with waterproof sealers becomes water resistant along with other dirt, grease and acid which extends the overall life of the surface. 

Epoxy Concrete Sealers 

Epoxy concrete sealers are a great option for heavily utilized interior floors. This specific sealer not only offers a durable finish but also deters excessive abrasion. The most popular applications for epoxy coatings are concrete flooring and countertops. As a matter of fact, this type of sealer offers a glossy finish with a thick composition.

Depending on the requirement of an individual, pigments can be added to the sealers for better colours and one can choose either some mid-level sheen or highly glossy one.  

Acrylic Concrete Sealers

If an individual is looking for a cost-effective option, acrylic sealers are the best. Not only is it easy to apply but is also best suited for the interiors and exteriors for sealing the concrete. In addition, this type of sealer is well resistant to UV and therefore doesn’t fade away with time.

If one is looking for sealers for the garage or wants to seal the pool decks and walkways, individuals can opt for acrylic sealers as they offer protection against chlorine water. The paint dries really fast and enhances colours while protecting against damage. 

Final Thoughts 

Choosing the right concrete sealers perth and applying them correctly is extremely crucial. To find the ideal balance of protection, durability, and affordability, consider the specific needs, surface, and location.

ABOUT.

Name: Owen Marr Age: Thirty Date of Birth: 17th August 1993 Birthplace: London, UK Occupation: Personal Trainer/Fitness GuruRomantic/sexual orientation: Heteroromantic/heterosexual

The oldest of the Marr children, Owen always felt a slight disassociation from his siblings. He's the one who was a trial in a way for his parents, he had the boring name and he had three years where it was just him, growing and learning, toddling around in a house the family couldn't really afford.

That became more and more apparent as the family grew over the coming years and when he finally hit a point where he wanted to do more than just hang around at home and keep his younger siblings company, he realised he couldn't really do that. So it didn't take long for him to take in the usual Marr shenanigans. if he wanted on the football team he'd have to steal the kit he needed —- and he did, repeatedly, from other students, from the lost and found, from the local sports shop where he'd sneak it under his coat.

As he grew older, he'd spend day after day in the local coffee shop uploading videos he'd filmed out on the football field and in the park. Fitness was really the only thing he was interested in and he started gaining a following through that. It wasn't hard for that to become his only focus.

He was the first to leave the family home, getting his own place out on the Isle of Dogs and starting a whole other life for himself.

His career blossomed and it wasn't long before he was starting a family all of his own... even if it wasn't intentional and it certainly wouldn't last. His daughter, Daisy, means the absolute world to him, though. Always has and always will.

It wasn't until recently that he made the move back to Notting Hill to be closer to the rest of the Marrs. No matter how often he might try and pretend he's a different person now, there's no getting away from that. He's always been a little rough around the edges, swears a tiny bit too much ( when he's not on camera anyway ), drinks more than he should, and then proceeds to try and run the calories off in a pretty unhealthy way the same night.

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Perfect Teeth-Whitening Product

Introduction

Achieving a brighter, whiter smile is a goal for many people, but with so many teeth-whitening products on the market, it can be overwhelming to figure out which one is the best for you. In this blog post, we will go over the different types of teeth-whitening products available and provide tips on how to choose the perfect one for your needs.

Types of Teeth-Whitening Products

There are a number types of teeth-whitening products available in the market today. Let’s dive in and look through some common types:

1. Whitening Toothpaste - This product,  typically contains mild abrasives and special chemicals that help to remove surface stains on teeth. While they can be effective for maintaining already white teeth, they may not be strong enough to remove deep stained teeth.

2. Whitening Strips - These are  are thin, flexible strips coated with a bleaching agent that is applied directly to the teeth. They are generally easy to use and can produce noticeable results in as little as a week. However, they may not be suitable for people with sensitive teeth, and it can be challenging to apply them evenly.

3. Whitening Trays - They  are custom-fitted trays that are filled with a bleaching gel and worn over the teeth for a certain amount of time each day. They are more effective than toothpaste or strips, but they can be uncomfortable to wear and may cause sensitivity.

4. In-Office Whitening - In-office whitening is a professional treatment done by a dentist that involves applying a high-concentration bleaching gel to the teeth. It is the most effective and fastest method of teeth whitening, but it is also the most pricy.

So, How Do I Choose the Perfect Teeth-Whitening Product?

Now that you know the different types of teeth-whitening products available, here are some tips on how to choose the perfect one for you:

 1. Consider Your Budget - One of the essential factors to consider when choosing a teeth-whitening product is your budget. Whitening toothpaste and strips are generally the most affordable options, while trays and in-office whitening treatments can be more expensive.

Whitening toothpaste can cost anywhere between $5 to $20 per tube, while whitening strips can range from $20 to $60 for a pack. Whitening trays can cost anywhere from $100 to $300, depending on the brand and whether they are custom-fitted or not. In-office whitening treatments can range from $300 to $1,000 or more.

It's important to keep in mind that while in-office whitening treatments may be more expensive, they are also the most effective and produce results much faster than other methods.

2. Look for a Recommended Product -When choosing a teeth-whitening product, it's important to choose one that is recommended by dentists or has positive reviews from customers. It is wise to look for products that have the American Dental Association (ADA) Seal of Acceptance, as this means that the product has been tested and proven to be safe and effective.

Remember to always do an online research and read reviews  from other customers to get a better idea of how well a particular product works. However, keep in mind that everyone's teeth are different, so what works for one person may not work for another.

3. Determine the Severity of Your Stains - The severity of your stains will also play a role in determining which teeth-whitening product is best for you. If you have mild surface stains caused by things like coffee or tea, smoking, or aging, then whitening toothpaste or strips may be sufficient.

However, if you have deeper stains or discoloration caused by things like medication, trauma, or genetics, then whitening trays or in-office whitening treatments may be more effective.

4. Consider Sensitivity - If you have sensitive teeth or gums, it's essential to choose a teeth-whitening product that is gentle and won't cause discomfort. Whitening toothpaste and strips are generally safe for people with sensitivity, as they contain lower concentrations of bleaching agents.

However, if you have more severe sensitivity, then trays or in-office whitening treatments may not be the best option. It's important to talk to your dentist if you have concerns about sensitivity before choosing a teeth-whitening product.

5. Check for Ingredients - Before choosing a teeth-whitening product, it's important to check the ingredients to ensure they are safe and effective. The most common bleaching agents used in teeth-whitening products are hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide.

Hydrogen peroxide is a stronger bleaching agent and is typically used in in-office whitening treatments. Carbamide peroxide is a milder bleaching agent and is found in most over-the-counter teeth-whitening products.

It's important to note that while these ingredients are generally safe for use, they can cause sensitivity and irritation if used too frequently or in high concentrations.

6. Consult with a Dentist - If you're unsure which teeth-whitening product is best for you, it's always a good idea to consult with a dentist. They can evaluate your teeth and recommend a product that is safe and effective for your particular needs.

They can also help you determine the cause of your stains and recommend lifestyle changes or treatments to prevent further staining.

Conclusion

Choosing the perfect teeth-whitening product requires careful consideration of your budget, the severity of your stains, sensitivity, ingredients, and consulting with a dentist if needed.

By keeping these factors in mind and choosing a recommended product, you can achieve a brighter, more confident smile.

PPF Vs. Ceramic Coating – Which Provides Better Protection?

Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Ceramic Coating are the two most widely used products on the market for maintaining the immaculate appearance of any car. Although they are both protective solutions, their roles and characteristics differ. By understanding their features, benefits, and drawbacks, this guide will help you select the best option for your car.

What is Paint Protection Film (PPF)?

Paint Protection Film (PPF), often known as a clear bra, is a transparent, flexible, and long-lasting urethane film that is immediately sprayed to the surface of a car. Its main purpose is to shield the paint from physical harm like small abrasions, scratches, and rock chips. The self-healing ability of contemporary PPF, which makes small scratches vanish when heated, is one of its best qualities. Because of this, PPF is a great option for drivers who regularly travel on roads or in environments where their cars are subject to physical dangers like debris. The film acts as a sacrificial layer by absorbing impacts and shielding the paint underneath from damage.

What is Ceramic Coating?

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that forms a semi-permanent protective layer by chemically bonding with the car’s paint. Ceramic coating offers remarkable resistance to environmental pollutants but no physical protection against scratches or chips. Cleaning is greatly facilitated by the hydrophobic coating it creates on the car’s surface, which repels water, dirt, and grime. Ceramic coating also improves the sheen and depth of the paint, giving the vehicle a showroom-quality finish that, with the right care, will last for many years.

Comparing PPF and ceramic coating

When it comes to protecting vehicles, Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Ceramic Coating have different advantages. While ceramic coating offers little protection against physical damage but is resistant to swirl marks, PPF excels at protecting against physical damage by absorbing impacts from debris, scratches, and chips. It also has the ability to self-heal tiny scratches. Both provide UV protection, but ceramic coating has better stain, chemical, and UV resistance. PPF has a mild hydrophobic effect, while ceramic coating has a far superior one and much more efficiently adds gloss and depth. Depending on quality, PPF can last anywhere from five to ten years, whereas ceramic coating, with the right maintenance, can last anywhere from two to five years.

Advantages and limitations of PPF

Advantages: Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a popular option for vehicle protection since it provides a number of benefits. It offers complete defence against physical harm, especially in high-impact locations. Furthermore, PPF is self-healing, which means that when heated, it may repair small abrasions. Another advantage of premium PPF is its durability; the film can last up to ten years. An additional noteworthy benefit is its invisible shield, which provides protection without sacrificing style by preserving the vehicle’s original look with a transparent application.

Limitations: PPF is not without its limits. The cost is a significant disadvantage because premium protection is more expensive than ceramic coating. Additionally, improper installation may result in noticeable bubbles or borders. Poorer PPF can eventually become yellow, especially on white automobiles, which can make the car look less appealing. Last but not least, although PPF offers protection, it lacks the cosmetic advantages of ceramic coatings, which include improving paint gloss or depth.

Advantages and limitations of Ceramic Coating

Advantages: For car owners looking for a better look and easier maintenance, ceramic coating has a number of benefits. It gives the car a lustrous, showroom-like shine that can make it appear like new. Because the hydrophobic surface repels dirt, washing isn’t necessary as frequently. Furthermore, ceramic coating protects the vehicle from impurities like tree sap, bug spatter, and bird droppings, prolonging its clean appearance. Its affordability, which provides long-term paint protection at a lower initial expenditure than PPF, is a major advantage.

Limitations: There are certain restrictions associated with ceramic coating. It cannot guard against chips or scratches brought on by debris since it lacks impact resistance. Even though cleaning is easier, the coating still needs to be cleaned and maintained on a regular basis to remain effective. Additionally, the coating needs to be reapplied every a few years due to its limited duration. For best results, expert installation is required because the coating is susceptible to improper application, which might render it ineffective.

Which should you choose?

The decision between Paint Protection Film (PPF) and ceramic coating ultimately depends on your lifestyle, driving habits, and other requirements.

For people who regularly travel on highways or gravl roads, where rock chips are a typical problem, PPF is suitable. For owners of expensive cars or high-end vehicles that need to be protected from physical harm, it’s also a fantastic choice. PPF is the best option if longevity and all-around protection are important to you.

For people who want to improve the look of their car and make maintenance easier, ceramic coating is a fantastic option. It is especially helpful if protecting the environment—such as protecting your car from water stains, bird droppings, and UV rays—is your top priority. If you’re on a tighter budget but still want long-lasting paint protection, ceramic coating is an excellent choice as it’s less expensive than PPF.

For those who want the best of both worlds, combining PPF and ceramic coating is becoming a more and more popular choice. This approach entails coating the entire car with ceramic coating to improve shine and provide a hydrophobic barrier, after applying PPF to high-impact areas to prevent physical damage. This combination guarantees that the car will continue to look beautiful over time in addition to providing complete protection..

Both ceramic coating and PPF have special benefits and are designed to meet certain protection requirements. PPF is the obvious choice if physical protection is your top concern. On the other hand, ceramic coating is a great option if you want to improve the shine of your car and make maintenance easier. Whichever option you decide on, getting the highest possible return on your investment requires expert installation and regular upkeep. For instance, you can turn to Autopad for professional services. No matter what your choice, Autopad has both the options to offer. Autopad is the “ceramic coating near me” you could be searching for to give your car a glossy surface and long-lasting defence against environmental damage and pollutants. However, if you want to guarantee better protection against rock chips, scratches, and physical damage, Autopad “Paint Protection Film near me” is what you could be searching for, making it ideal for high-impact areas of your car. Choose wisely and ensure that your car stays pristine for years.
