Abstract: Techniques and compositions are provided for shielding radioactive energy. The composition includes a hydrocarbon component and a radiation shielding and absorbing material or additive. The composition may be applied to substrates or to radioactive materials. Moreover, the composition may be mixed with raw materials of products.

Abstract: Phosphorescent pigment mixtures and techniques for dispersion of phosphorescent pigments are provided. A phosphorescent mixture includes a doped aluminum silicate phosphorescent pigment material, a dispersant material, a resin, and a liquid carrier material. In an embodiment, the doped aluminum silicate phosphorescent pigment particles are mixed with liquid solutions of a product, and the resulting product may be applied to a substrate. The phosphorescent particles are suspended or mixed in the liquid solutions at diameter sizes of approximately 5 microns or less.

Abstract: Cosmetic mixtures made with zinc calcium aluminum phosphate are provided. The zinc calcium aluminum phosphate is made as glass and crushed into particles having small diameter sizes. The particles make up a powder that is then mixed with cosmetic ingredients to produce modified cosmetic products.

Abstract: Cosmetic mixtures made with zinc calcium aluminum borosilicate are provided. The zinc calcium aluminum borosilicate is made as glass and crushed into particles having small diameter sizes. The particles make up a powder that is then mixed with cosmetic ingredients to produce modified cosmetic products.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for infrared and heat absorption or reflection. Glasseous materials having metal oxides are acquired or produced in a powder form, where residue of the materials within the powder has diameter sizes of 1 millimeter or less. The powder is integrated with raw materials of other products, and those products absorb or reflect electromagnetic wavelengths at or above 701 nanometers.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for using glass as an additive to raw materials for unfinished products or as a coating for finished products. Glass is crushed into glass particles forming a glass powder. The glass powder can be mixed with raw materials in the process of making products. Alternatively, the glass powder can be mixed with liquids or gels. The resulting products that integrate the glass powder or that are coated with mixtures of the glass powder exhibit Ultra Violet (UV) absorbing properties that were originally associated with the glass and in some cases boost UV properties associated with other UV absorbing materials which may be included within the raw materials of the products.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for using glass waste as an additive to raw materials for unfinished products or as a coating for finished products. Glass waste is crushed into glass particles forming a powder. The powder includes metal that does not leach out of the glass particles. The powder can be mixed with raw materials in the process of making products. Alternatively, the powder can be mixed with other liquids and directly applied as a coating to finished products. The metal creates properties in the products that result in Ultraviolet (UV) absorption, radiation shielding, and sound blockage.
