Adhesive training

To an experienced operator trained in the handling of industrial chemicals, the dimers present Httle cause for concern in handling or storage. The finished polymer coating presents even less of a health problem contact with the reactive monomer is unlikely. In the ancillary operations, such as cleaning or adhesion promotion, the operator must observe suitable precautions. Before using the process chemicals, operators must read and understand the current Material Safety Data Sheets, which are available from the manufacturers. 

Almost everything we use daily has adhesives connected with them. Our soda bottles use adhesives to attach the label our tables—wooden, glass, metal, or a mixture—are connected by adhesives our shoes are held together by adhesives our automobiles, trucks, airplanes, trains, all are connected by adhesives our tires, stoves, and washers, all contain adhesives as essential materials. 

Polyethylene tape. There are more than 30 y of experience with polyethylene tape. It has been applied over the ditch, at the railhead, and in the shop. Surface preparation, an indispensable element in proper coating adhesion, is very difficult in an over-the-ditch operation. The generally poor performance of over-the-ditch tape applications has caused most pipeline companies to abandon them. Occasionally, however, one still hears of a pipeline company that has used its own highly trained crews and has obtained a good over-the-ditch application. 

Carbohydrate polymers historically have been used for or in adhesives. Indeed, my first encounter with adhesives, and possibly your first encounter, involved the use of a carbohydrate polymer to glue paper. As a child, I used a paste made from flour and water to glue paper-mache into some very interesting forms. And as a parent, I used this same technique to build many a tunnel and hill for my son s miniature train layout, thus passing along (in disguised form) a bit of knowledge about the use of carbohydrate polymers as an adhesive that was surely first discovered before recorded history. 

Continuous processes will generally not be used for acrylic surface coating latexes, adhesives, and other low tonnage products. Scmibatch processes are frequently used in which not all the ingredients are added initially. Continuous systems are favored for large-volume polymers like SBR in order to increase the reactor output and reduce fluctuations in product properties. Such continuous reactor trains usually consist of a series of batch reactors each connected with bottom inlets and top outlets and operated with continuous overflow. 

Propylene glycol is commonly used to make antifreeze and deicing solutions for cars, airplanes, and boats to make polyester compounds and as solvents in the paint and plastics industries. It is used as a substitute for ethylene glycol mono-alkyl ethers in all-purpose cleaners, coatings, inks, nail polish, lacquers, latex paints, and adhesives. It is also used to create artificial smoke or fog used in fire-fighting training and in theatrical productions.

At this point in the analysis, it was possible to define a tolerance for bondline thickness, whereby all points within a prescribed tolerance would be considered adhesive failure, and all points outside this tolerance would be considered wood failure. Furthemtore, a second tolerance could be specified to distinguish shallow" wood failure fi-om deep" wood failure (Fig. 10). For the specimens evaluated in this study, two tolerances ( 40 pm and 60 pm) were selected for both the bondline thickness and the depth of shallow wood failure. A typical bondline thickness for block-shear specimens is about 80 pm, and the thickness of a small fiber bundle is 40-60 pm (or 2-5 fiber diameters). Table 1 summarizes the results from this analysis as well as the visual grading values obtained from the trained observers. 

The next step in this project will be measurements on cars and after changing the window (Fig. 27.8). This method is applicable not only to cars even trains or any other adhesive joints of glass to metal or of glass compounds can be tested.
