Write a free form piece of prose, a brief evocative description, account, or episode related to the subject.
A substance that replaced plastic, it is a silicon mix with Glass Jolt ground up, and it used in place of any non-conductive devices casings, handles, etc.
Properties
Material Characteristics
It has a soft texture, cross between clay and plasticine, it can be tinted as its base is white to clear. Easy to mould, able to press very thin (1 to 2mm)
Physical & Chemical Properties
Non conductive
Compounds
It is Glass-Jolt ground up to a fine dust, mixed into silicon gel
Geology & Geography
Silicon is common material, and easily found on many to most planets
Glass Jolt is the most common found on rock planets, or asteroids
Origin & Source
Silicon is common mineral, and had already been used to replace plastic products, the advent of Glass-Jolt saw it being combined to make a substance that had properties of clay materials so expand it use.
Life & Expiration
It gets harder as it ages, and resistant to shattering when dropped.
History & Usage
History
The discovery of Glass Jolt and how to use it beyond a screens to most such devices, the grind up to a powder or the dust from cutting, and mixing it with other material - clay, polymers Silicon, cement have made for it versatility impacted on various fields such as building (Confederacy), electronic industry, manufacturing of small devices.
Discovery
Discover in Jolt Researching it properites and possible uses. The scientist credited with it was, Ayden McCormick, who was working with Glass-Jolt, and mixed it with other materials.
Everyday use
Cases for small devices, power units
Cultural Significance and Usage
None, it is a common used product
Industrial Use
It is a good material to use in various ways, as it can be fired like clay or polymers, making it either hard or soft to piable, and is non-conductive, so good for encasing power units and the like.
Refinement
Confederacy have also found that you can mix it with clay compound and it will improve the life of it, and becomes much harder as it ages, so have developed a cement form.
Manufacturing & Products
Small Device Cases
Electronic unit cases
Building cement
Byproducts & Sideproducts
No, there are not byproduct from any process in the use, which statled the researches.
Hazards
No, again to the suprise of the researchers
Environmental Impact
It actually has a long life, and the break down (everntually) is simple erriosion and breaks down like all other 'rocks'
Reusability & Recycling
Due to the properties of long life, and increase duribility it can be cut and reused in to small or large, it is up to the person imagination
Distribution
Trade & Market
This is a staple product, and it mostly in the manufacturing stage of the markets avaiable.
Storage
In it raw states, they need only be air tight due to Glass Jolt fine particles.
Law & Regulation
No, as it is considered safe product
Type
Composite
Value
High demand
Rarity
Common
Odor
Slight to none
Taste
Horrible
Color
cloudy white to clear
Boiling / Condensation Point
1683 K
