Definitions for "Acid Etching"
See ENGRAVING
A process used in decorative glass where hydrofluoric acid is applied to the surface of the glass. Where the acid contacts the glass surface, the glass becomes frosted with a matte finish (similar to the effect caused by a sandblasting process). Patterns can be applied using special wax coatings on the glass. Where the glass is coated with wax, no corrosion of the surface will take place.
A process, manly used for glass decoration, where the glass surface is treated with hydrofluoric acid. Acid-etched glass has a distinctive, uniformly smooth and satin-like appearance.
A method of preparing concrete floors for painting using a dilute acid solution to clean and improve the surface texture.
The preparation of the cavity surfaces with a mild acid for bonding.
Process of applying a solution of hydrochloric or muriatic acid and water to the exposed surface of Cast Stone in order to remove the cement film from the aggregates, achieving a fine-grained finish which simulates natural cut stone.
Acid applied to the underside of a veneer, porcelain onlay, Microkur jacket or Dicor crown, to make microscopic indentations in order to make the restoration adhere to the natural tooth in a more stable manner.
A technique that uniformly thins CCDs to approximately 10 µm so that an image can be focused on the back of the parallel register (where there is no gate structure). See back-illuminated CCD.
