Ethanol (EtOH) sterilization is a technique used primarily for the sanitization and disinfection of surfaces, instruments, and sometimes polymer-based medical devices. It is effective due to its ability to denature proteins and dissolve lipids, making it potent against a broad spectrum of microorganisms. When it comes to polymers, those susceptible to EtOH sterilization without damage are typically non-porous and resistant to alcohol-induced degradation. For instance, polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polycarbonate (PC) can withstand ethanol exposure without significant structural integrity loss. However, polymers like polylactic acid (PLA) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) may be more susceptible to the effects of extended EtOH exposure, such as brittleness or plasticizer leaching. Therefore, selecting the correct polymer type is crucial for ensuring the durability and efficacy of EtOH-sterilized materials.
Polyvinyl sheets, commonly referred to as PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) sheets, are not inherently acid-free. PVC is a type of plastic that contains various additives for flexibility and durability. Over time, these components can release acidic compounds, which may be harmful to materials they are in contact with, particularly sensitive items like photographs or archival documents. This characteristic makes PVC unsuitable for conservation or archival storage purposes, where acid-free materials are required to prevent degradation. For such applications, materials explicitly labeled as acid-free are recommended, such as polyethylene or polypropylene sheets, which are safer for long-term storage of sensitive items.
Jelly beans are coated with shellac, a natural substance derived from the secretions of the female lac bug found in the forests of India and Thailand. This coating is known as confectioner's glaze and is used to give jelly beans their distinctive shine and protect the candy. Shellac is used in a variety of food and non-food products for its glossy finish. It’s interesting to note that while shellac is a natural product, some consumers choose to avoid it due to dietary restrictions or personal preference for vegan products, as it is an animal-derived ingredient. Alternatives to shellac-coated candies are available for those seeking vegan options.
