Hello, student Manar Adel Abu Ermaileh, I am studying interior
design. Today we will conduct chemical tests for raw materials
and techniques on five different materials, namely iron, foam,
copper and wood.mdf and acrylic
We will start with the first test, which is its absorbency test. We
will pour water on each material and wait for three minutes. After
waiting three minutes, we find that the iron is not absorbed, the
cork is not absorbed, the copper is not absorbed, the wood is
absorbable, and the acrylic is not absorbed. The second test is the
scratchability test. We will scratch each material So iron is
scratchable, cork is a hole, copper is not scratchable, wood is
scratchable, the third test is a hardness test, we will run on each
material, so iron was hard, cork extended fibers, copper was solid,
wood was of medium hardness, and acrylic was breakable. The
fourth test was a test that could be cut, so the iron was uncut. It
needs special machines, the cork is broken off, and the copper
cannot be cut. It needs special machines. The wood is broken off,
and the acrylic is not cut off. It needs special machines. The fifth
test is the paints test. We will put paint on each material and wait
for three minutes. After three minutes, iron needs special paints,
cork is painted, and copper is needed. To a special paint the wood
is painted and the acrylic needs a special paint
