What does OUTGAS mean in Scrabble?
verb
technical
To release trapped gas or vapor from a material, or to undergo the removal of such gas, especially under heat or vacuum.
Engineers outgas new equipment intended for space or vacuum compartments because materials such as plastics and adhesives slowly release trapped air and moisture once pressure drops, which can contaminate sensitive instruments. Heating a component in a vacuum oven speeds up the process, letting it outgas before it is sealed into its final assembly. Freshly poured concrete and some paints likewise outgas as they cure, giving off odors or vapors that fade over the following days or weeks. The word applies equally to a deliberate process performed in a lab and to the natural, gradual release of gas from a material.
How OUTGAS is used
