slip proof mat

Draughts not only create discomfort but also lead to increased energy consumption. According to energy efficiency studies, up to 25% of heating can be lost through gaps at the bottom of doors. This loss can lead to over-reliance on heating systems, causing them to work harder and consume more energy, which in turn increases utility bills. By installing a door bottom draught excluder, homeowners can significantly mitigate these losses, resulting in a more comfortable living environment.

Corner protectors for furniture are an essential item for anyone looking to safeguard their belongings and prevent unnecessary wear and tear. These small but crucial accessories serve as a protective barrier against bumps, scratches, and other forms of damage that can occur during the moving process, daily use, or simply due to accidental collisions.

One of the most common uses of non-slip mats is in the kitchen. These mats are placed under cutting boards or mixing bowls to prevent them from sliding around while preparing food. Non-slip mats are also used to line shelves or drawers, keeping dishes and utensils in place and preventing breakage. In addition, non-slip mats can be placed under rugs to keep them from moving on slippery floors.

2. Improving Hygiene A sealed shower environment helps to limit moisture accumulation, which is a breeding ground for bacteria and mold. By keeping water contained, seal strips contribute to a more hygienic bathing experience.

A garage door seal is an essential component of any garage, serving as the first line of defense against the elements. It seals the gap between the bottom of the garage door and the ground, preventing water, dirt, and pests from entering. With various types of bottom garage door seals available on the market, it’s crucial to understand their differences and applications. This article explores the common types of bottom garage door seals, their materials, and the benefits of each type.

The aim of this work was to examine particularly the Degussa P25 titanium dioxide nanoparticles (P25TiO₂NPs) because they are among the most employed ones in cosmetics. In fact, all kinds of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO₂NPs) have gained widespread commercialization over recent decades. This white pigment (TiO₂NPs) is used in a broad range of applications, including food, personal care products (toothpaste, lotions, sunscreens, face creams), drugs, plastics, ceramics, and paints. The original source is abundant in Earth as a chemically inert amphoteric oxide, which is thermally stable, corrosion-resistant, and water-insoluble. This oxide is found in three different forms: rutile (the most stable and substantial form), brookite (rhombohedral), and anatase (tetragonal as rutile), of these, both rutile and anatase are of significant commercial importance in a wide range of applications [3]. Additionally, the nano-sized oxide exhibits interesting physical properties, one of them is the ability to act as semiconducting material under UV exposure. In fact, TiO₂NPs are the most well-known and useful photocatalytic material, because of their relatively low price and photo-stability [4]. Although, this photoactivity could also cause undesired molecular damage in biological tissues and needs to be urgently assessed, due to their worldwide use. However, not all nanosized titanium dioxide have the same behavior. In 2007, Rampaul A and Parkin I questioned: “whether the anatase/rutile crystal form of titanium dioxide with an organosilane or dimethicone coat, a common titania type identified in sunscreens, is appropriate to use in sunscreen lotions” [5]. They also suggested that with further study, other types of functionalized titanium dioxide could potentially be safer alternatives. Later, Damiani found that the anatase form of TiO₂NPs was the more photoactive one, and stated that it should be avoided for sunscreen formulations, in agreement with Barker and Branch (2008) [6,7].
