Teflon
Teflon is actually a brand name of the DuPont company referring to the material PTFE, a fluoroplastic.
T
thermoplastic
also plastomer - The term thermoplastics refers to those plastics capable of being deformed under the influence of temperature.
thymine
also 5-methyluracil - Thymine (C5H6N2O2 ) is one of the four coding nucleobases in DNA. It forms the complementary base to adenine via two hydrogen bonds.
torr
torr unit - A torr is the static pressure generated by a column of mercury 1 mm in height. A torr is not an SI unit of measure. Conversion: 1 torr ≈ 133,322 Pa ≈ 0.001333 bar.
toxin
A toxin is a biogenic substance capable of damaging an organism by disrupting its physiological metabolic processes. The scientific discipline investigating toxins is called toxicology. Bacterial toxins are divided into exotoxins and endotoxins.
toxic
The effect of a toxin is described as toxic. ‘Toxic’ can also be defined as meaning ‘poisonous’.
toxicity
The degree to which a toxin is toxic or poisonous.
transmission
The permeability of a medium to electromagnetic waves, here at 254 nm.
transmit
To send or convey from one place to another.
transparency
A particular material’s permeability to light does not allow us to draw any conclusions whatsoever as to whether it is UVC-transparent! UVC rays are substantially shorter and richer in energy than the electromagnetic waves that constitute ‘light’. With our spectrophotometer, we offer our customers a free service analysing the transmissibility of supplied fluids.
