(adjective)

That does not cause corrosion.

Examples of non-corrosive in the following topics:

  • Effective Disinfection

    • A perfect disinfectant would offer full microbiological sterilisation, without harming humans and would also be non-corrosive.
    • It would also be inexpensive and non-corrosive.
    • Some disinfectants have a wide spectrum and kill many different types of microorganisms, while others kill a smaller range of disease-causing organisms but are preferred for other instances (they may be non-corrosive, non-toxic, or inexpensive).

  • Types of Disinfectants

    • These alcohols are non-corrosive but can be a fire hazard.
    • Alcohol is only partly effective against most non-enveloped viruses (such as hepatitis A), and is not at all effective against fungal and bacterial spores.
    • Typically, quats do not exhibit effectiveness against difficult to kill non-enveloped viruses such as norovirus, rotavirus, or polio virus.

  • Aerobic Hydrocarbon Oxidation

    • They live in the water-fuel interface of the water droplets, form dark black/brown/green, gel-like mats, and cause microbial corrosion to plastic and rubber parts of the aircraft fuel system by consuming them, and to the metal parts by the means of their acidic metabolic products.
    • P. aeruginosa is capable of growth in diesel and jet fuel, where it is known as a hydrocarbon-using microorganism (or "HUM bug"), causing microbial corrosion. [3] It creates dark, gellish mats sometimes improperly called "algae" because of their appearance.

  • Sulfate and Sulfur Reduction

    • Sulfate-reducing bacteria oxidize this hydrogen, creating hydrogen sulfide, which contributes to corrosion.
    • Hydrogen sulfide from sulfate-reducing bacteria also plays a role in the biogenic sulfide corrosion of concrete, and sours crude oil.

  • Archaeoglobus

    • These archaeons are known to cause the corrosion of iron and steel in oil and gas processing systems by producing iron sulphide.

  • Group Translocation

    • P. aeruginosa is capable of growth in diesel and jet fuel, where it is known as a hydrocarbon-using microorganism (or "HUM bug"), causing microbial corrosion. [3] It creates dark, gellish mats sometimes improperly called "algae" because of their appearance.

  • The Incorporation of Nonstandard Amino Acids

    • Aside from the 22 standard amino acids, there are many other amino acids that are called non-proteinogenic or non-standard.
    • Aside from the 22 standard amino acids, there are many other amino acids that are called non-proteinogenic or non-standard .
    • Non-standard amino acids that are found in proteins are formed by post-translational modification, which is modification after translation during protein synthesis.

  • Radiation

    • An incident in Decatur, Georgia where water soluble cesium-137 leaked into the source storage pool requiring NRC intervention has led to near elimination of this radioisotope; it has been replaced by the more costly, non-water soluble cobalt-60.

  • Immunoassays for Disease

    • The function of the immune system is to recognize self antigens from non-self antigens and defend the body against non-self (foreign) agents.
    • Through specific and non-specific defense mechanisms, the body's immune system is able to react to microbial pathogens and protect against disease.
    • These biochemical and serological techniques are based on the detection and quantitation of antibodies generated against an infectious agent, a microbe, or non-microbial antigen.

  • Bacteroides and Flavobacterium

    • Bacteroides and Flavobacterium are both Gram-negative bacteria that can be either motile or non-motile.
    • This genus of bacteria is characterized by their sphingolipid based membranes and are typically non-endospore forming and anaerobic.
    • Flavobacterium can be either non-motile or motile and are rod-shaped.
