It has high water retention capabilities, and is used in food and cosmetics.

These differences may be attributed to variation in the heat retention capabilities of the trees at different times of the year.

In fabric form, as the percentage of turkey feather fibers increased, the heat retention capability of the fabric increased.

Cargo retention capabilities include various pouches and pockets attached via standard PALS webbing.

A drawback of SiC is its poor retention capability for certain metallic fission products, e.g. Ag, Cs and Ru, at high operation temperatures.

Contamination of the cooling circuit with metallic fission products (Sr-90, Cs-137) due to the insufficient retention capabilities of fuel pebbles for metallic fission products.

A survey of soils in the area in April 1999 indicated that Cullacabardee's soil is located in the Bassendean Sand soil association, and is a leached white siliceous sand of mineral quartz, with negligible phosphorus retention capability.
