what is blu-tack made of?

Blu-tack is some sort of sticky liquid that machinese squeeze out into slabs and they are cooled into the solid state. I am not really sure of the materials as I googled it but it was to no avail. However, I was told by the blu-tack website that blu-tack is squeezed into special shapes containers. And then they are cooled. Period.

The core of a dolphin’s body is well insulated by a thick layer of blubber. Generally, a blubber layer is anywhere between 3/4" to 1-1 /4" thick. The thickness is related to the type of environment the dolphin lives in. Colder waters require a thicker blubber layer. The blubber is actually the modified 3rd layer or "hypodermis" of a dolphin’s skin. Skin is made up of three layers: an epidermis (top layer), a dermis (middle layer) and a hypodermis (bottom layer). The surface layer or epidermis of a dolphin’s skin is ten times thicker than any land mammal, and serves as protection against the elements. Additionally, the entire top layer of skin sloughs off every two to four hours, helping the dolphin stay streamlined, moist and while free of external attachments while traveling through the water.\n\nUpon close examination of a dolphin’s skin, micro dermal ridges are visible. Micro dermal ridges are small ridges that trap water molecules at the surface of the skin. This allows the dolphin to pass through its environment with less resistance because liquid moves more easily past another liquid than past a solid object. Micro dermal ridges allow a dolphin to travel more like a liquid through water with less resistance. A famous sail boat competitor used the idea of micro dermal ridges to his advantage to win the World’s Cup. He had Dupont design a skin for the bottom of his boat based on a dolphin’s micro dermal ridges. This technology increased his boating speed by a half-knot. Many wet suit companies use the principle of micro dermal ridges, as well.\n\nIn addition to micro dermal ridges, a dolphin has very pliant skin. When a dolphin reaches a certain speed while traveling through water, the typical smooth flow of water becomes more turbulent. A dolphin’s skin will actually ripple at accelerated speeds to counter the effect of turbulence as they travel through the water.

The bio-bomb is made of a plastic alloy and employs the radioactive energy source Solinium II, which kills only living tissue and leaves the landscape and buildings unchanged. Used mostly in collaboration with the fairy time-stop, the bomb, nicknamed a blue rinse, can be calibrated to an exact radius; that is to say that it can explode and blue rinse an exact area.

Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) is a plastic that is used as an insulator in the electrical and electronics industries. It is a thermoplastic crystalline polymer, and a type of polyester. PBT is resistant to solvents, shrinks very little during forming, is mechanically strong, heat-resistant up to 150°C (or 200°C with glass-fibre reinforcement) and can be treated with flame retardants to make it noncombustible.

Title: SEAWEEDS FARMING : Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) Regional Office IX\n\nBrief Description: Manufactured Phytocolloid Carageenan come from the extract of Eucheuma (Goso). The raw material contains high ash that resembles agar requiring only higher concentration to form gel. Apparently used to manufacture surgical jellies, salves and ointment. Also an essential ingredients in pudding, frosting and baker jellies for emuLsification and improvement of its texture. An important stabilizer for ice cream, confectioners, syrups and thickener for soup and related products \n\nHope this helps.

I think it might be Aerogel.\nIt is actually quite strong for its weight, being made up of about 99.8% air\n\nSee this picture of a block of aerogel supporting a bick,\nhttp://www.unitednuclear.com/aerogelc.jpg
