Q. Why is the thickness of one liner shown in "microns" and another
one in "mils?" |
|
A.
High density liners,
almost always have their thickness expressed in microns; low
density liners
almost always have their thickness expressed in mils.
Why?
Tradition, as far as we know.
How do you compare microns to mils? Well, first remember that the
thickness isn't a full measure of the strength of the bag, just the
thickness. But microns and mils are both actually 1/1000th of something,
which is where it gets confusing. One
mil is equal to 1/1000th of an inch (.001" = 1 mil). As an
example, 250 mils would equal 1/4" (.250"). A
micron, on the other hand, is 1/1000th of a millimeter (.001
millimeter = 1 micron). Since a millimeter is a much smaller measurement
than an inch, the micron measurement will always be a larger number for a
similar-thickness bag. The
actual equation is: 1 mil = 25.4 microns (or, if you're converting from
microns to mils, divide the microns by 25.4). For
example, a 16 micron high density bag is equivalent to .63 mils (to be
precise, .62992 mils). A 2 mil low density bag would be the equivalent
thickness of 50.8 microns. Again,
mere thickness doesn't tell the whole story, but now you know how to
compare one to another.

Q. Road Runner Ice Melt is a blend. A blend of what? |
|
A.
Road
Runner Ice Melt, available in 50 lb. boxes, is a blend of Calcium
Chloride, Magnesium Chloride, Sodium Chloride and Potassium
Chloride. The first two are the most important, because they let Road
Runner Ice Melt begin melting ice immediately upon impact, so it
can generate melting heat fast.
Because
of the way it is blended, Road Runner effectively melts ice down to minus
15o (most blended ice melters only melt ice down to 0o).
If you're using urea, rock salt, or potassium chloride, they only work
down to 20o to 25o.
As
you can see, Road Runner works a lot harder and a lot longer, making it a
great value for your ice melting needs this winter!
