use of "good" "good" is fine Explanation: There's nothing wrong with "good resistance." That's what the ST says, and that's what it should be in the English TT, in my opinion. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 mins (2010-02-03 16:05:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- See e.g.,: Neoprene rubber is a homopolymer of chloroprene. It is more resistant than natural rubber to gasoline, sunlight, ozone and oxidation. It is also flame resistant and will not support combustion. It has good resistance to corrosive action of chemicals, bacterial enzymes, and its water resistance is as good as natural rubber. It has good resistance to heat and does not soften as does natural rubber, but where increased resistance to heat, ozone, weathering, gasoline or oil is required. The temperature range is -40° to +135°C (-40° to 275° F). http://www.adrubber.com/materials.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 mins (2010-02-03 16:06:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This elastomer is a copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile and is used for the majority of conventional fluid sealing application. Standard colour: black. good resistance to mineral oil and grease good resistance to water and radiator fluid http://www.dichta.com/eng/materials.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 mins (2010-02-03 16:07:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- CHARACTERISTIC PROPERTIES • Austenitic structure • Good to very good resistance to uniform corrosion • Good to exceptionally good resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion • Very good resistance to various types of stress corrosion cracking • Good ductility and weldability http://www.avestapolarit.com/upload/documents/technical/data... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 mins (2010-02-03 16:10:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The range includes grades with exceptional temperature resistance, first class dielectric properties, good resistance to tracking, assessed flammability and superb structural strength and toughness. http://www.bayplastics.co.uk/tufnolglass.htm NB: "Good," "very good," and "excellent" are three distinct measures/grades of resistance. These descriptors are not interchangeable and definitely do not mean the same thing. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 mins (2010-02-03 16:13:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Note to asker: Why not go with "The product's good resistance to..." ? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 35 mins (2010-02-03 16:36:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Note to asker: No, there is no reason why "good/bad" cannot be used with a preceding article (e.g., "The good resistance to wear is unfortunately unable to make up for the product's poor overall performance."). |
