Viscosity adhesion

Ethyl Vinyl Ether. The addition of ethanol to acetylene gives ethyl vinyl ether [104-92-2] (351—355). The vapor-phase reaction is generally mn at 1.38—2.07 MPa (13.6—20.4 atm) and temperatures of 160—180°C with alkaline catalysts such as potassium hydroxide and potassium ethoxide. High molecular weight polymers of ethyl vinyl ether are used for pressure-sensitive adhesives, viscosity-index improvers, coatings and films lower molecular weight polymers are plasticizers and resin modifiers. 

Solvents. Solvents affect adhesive viscosity, bond strength development, open time, cost, and ultimate strength. Blends of three solvents (aromatic, aliphatic, oxygenates, e.g. ketones, esters) are generally added, and in their selection environmental and safety regulations must be considered. A graphical method has been proposed to predict the most adequate solvent blends for solvent-borne CR... 

In most adhesives, tackifier is the ingredient present in the highest proportion. Tackifying resins are primarily used to reduce adhesive viscosity and adjust the 7g of the adhesive s amorphous matrix phase. Through their effects on the other ingredients and the overall system they can also dramatically affect wet out, hot tack, open time, set speed, and heat resistance. 

PVAc is also the precursor to a few other types of adhesives. For example, poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA), -[CH2-CH(OH) , is formed by the hydrolysis of PVAc. Low molecular weight grades of PVA are used in PVAc emulsions to improve colloidal stability of the emulsions, i.e., as a protective colloid. Higher molecular weight grades, only partially hydrolyzed, modify other properties such as adhesion, viscosity, and film formation.

Bonding of porous materials For porous adherends, higher adhesive viscosities have to be chosen - depending on the pore diameter - to prevent the adhesive from penetrating (disappearing in the pores) if required, repeat adhesive application after a short drying time. 

Adhesive viscosity The viscosity of an adhesive has also to be adjusted to the development of the surface. Rough surfaces require generally lower viscosities than smooth surfaces to ensure even wetting. For the production of thicker adhesive layers in the range of millimeters, only filler-containing adhesives with very high viscosities are suitable.

We investigated the effect on the adhesion strength of shear stresses applied to the adhesive interlayer MDI as a component of Sprut-5M adhesive. An equimolar quantity of butylene glycol was added to MDI to cure it. The shear stresses were created by the torsion of one dolly of standard size relative to another in a special device the adhesive was placed between the dollies. On reaching the prescribed shear stress (due to the increase of the adhesive viscosity) the torsion of the dolly... 

The effect of adhesive penetration also was expressed by the portion of partly or completely filled cells (lumens or rays) in the interphase region. The filled interphase region (FIR) increases only slightly with an increased adhesive viscosity (higher degree of condensation) but not showing significant differences.

Polychloroprene latex. Anionic or non-ionic latices can be used. The polymer determines the initial tack and open time, the bond-strength development and hot bond strength, the application properties and the adhesive viscosity. Anionic latices are stabilized with rosin soaps. Carboxylated polychloroprene latex is stabilized with polyvinyl alcohol and provides better freeze-thaw stability than the anionic types [78]. 

Use trial and error to determine the correct pressure-adhesive viscosity factors that will yield the desired bond thickness. 

The second method is to employ a film adhesive that becomes highly viscous during the cure cycle, preventing excessive flow-out. With supported films, the adhesive carrier itself can act as the shims. Generally, the cured bond-line thickness will be determined by the original thickness of the adhesive film. The third method of controlling adhesive thickness is to use trial and error to determine the correct pressure-adhesive viscosity factors that will yield the desired bond thickness. 

About two-thirds of the CR adhesives are solvent dispersions. Solids content range from 5 to 90 wt%, the most common range is 15 to 30 wt%. Properly compounded solvent-borne CR dispersions are resistant to degradation by heat, sunlight, ozone, water, oils and chemicals. Solvent selection allows a great variation in adhesive viscosity and drying rate. Compounding with resins allows specific adhesion to many porous and non-porous substrates to be produced.
