50. Definition
 Clay-A fine-grained, firm earthy material that is plastic when
wet and hardens when heated, consisting primarily of hydrated
silicates of aluminum and widely used in making bricks, tiles,
and pottery.
 Flux-A continued flow
 Feldspar -Any of a group of aluminosilicate minerals that also
contains calcium, sodium, or potassium. Feldspars are the
most common minerals in the Earth's crust and are the major
component in nearly all igneous rocks

51.  Stabilizer- is a chemical that is added to a solution or mixture
or suspension to maintain it in a stable or unchanging state.
 Anti theft proof: Due to the manufacturing process of nailing the
boards together, opening the crates are sometimes harder
which decreases the risk of unauthorized access to the goods

52.  Disadvantages using wooden crates:
 1. Low strength/weight ratio: Depending on the wood used, wooden crates have a lower
material strength than plywood. This is partly due to the manufacturing process of
plywood where the fibres are put in different directions to increase strength.
 2. More material needed: To get the same strength as other materials such as plywood,
plastic or metal, more volume is needed. The increase in packaging volume may increase
transportation cost.
 3. Low material flexibility: Non-engineered wood generally has a lower material flexibility
than for example plywood. This may result in damages from excessive pressure. With
more flexible materials, pressure on the material can be spotted and decreased before
damages occur.
 4. Can seldom be reused: After opening most wooden crates, the solid wood material
often has to be disposed of. This increases environmental impact and, if boards are not
used for other purposes, requires resources for material disposal
