Complex structural polyester parts of various appliance applications such as air conditioners and humidifiers. 

An appliance application for RIM is molded by the Italian molder GMP Polyurethanes S.p.A. They created a refrigerator door that is as much a fashion statement as it is functional. GMP developed a new surface finishing technique that takes advantage of the outstanding adhesion... 

Use For appliance applications, electronic parts, medical devices, construction applications, bottles, wiring, and cable. 

Several other tests are used to correlate properties with the working conditions. The dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA) is used to measure modulus and viscoelastic properties related to ductility. By using the DMA test method, the degradation in modulus could be imderstood and applied to the end use application. The effect of the environmental conditions is also tested the esthetic durability in heated environments is not restricted to warp and relaxation attributed to creep. Creep and stress relaxation tests are also done on SMC/BMC for their structural applications. The retention of color is critical for a heated appliance application. BMC/SMC can be formulated to offer excellent color stability when exposed to high temperatures. 

The polyurethane rigid foam usage will total about 223 million pounds in 1980 and is expected to increase to about 551 million pounds in 1990. Building and construction and domestic appliance applications account for the bulk of the usage. Construction... 

High-solids (HS) coatings are increasing rapidly in Importance (as previously discussed) because of their compatibility with existing application equipment and their ability to meet many emission regulations. Automotive and appliance applications for these systems should continue to grow well in the 1980s. 

Heat that is high enough to initiate the burning of POs has become more of a concern as these materials have been used for more electrical and appliance applications. Fortunately, there are several additive options for suppressing the burning of plastics unfortunately, as with stabilizers, there is no "magic bullet" additive solution for all situations. FR additives often negatively affect the performance of other additives, or the physical properties of the material.

For small appliance applications, such as coffee pots, steam irons, and can openers, filled PP has become the material of choice for applications requiring better heat resistance and thinner wall than those generally possible with ABS. Typically, these appliances have high gloss requirements normally typically attained by using materials based on ABS resins. Comparatively, PP-based compounds can come close to matching these requirements. In addition, the latter offer better chemical resistance and heat performance at low loads.

Compounded polymers prepared with thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) are prepared in much the same manner as thermoplastics, with some exceptions. Thermoplastic elastomers generally combine the flexibility and frictional behavior of mbber compounds with the practical forming considerations of thermoplastic materials. These are commonly encountered in automotive and appliance applications where non-slip surfaces are desirable. Since compounds in this class have elastomeric physical characteristics, this often requires that a twin-screw mixer makes use of... 

Many appliance applications for adhesives are those adhesives used in the electrical industry for the assembly of motors and pumps. 

Epoxies are commonly used as structural adhesives in small-appliance applications, including bonding hoses onto vacuum cleaners. Most of the internal parts of air conditioners are metal and Underwriters Laboratories-approved epoxies are used for bonding. 

SAN copolymers at the azeotropic polymerization ratio of 76/24 (by wt) are miscible with a-methyl styrene-AN copolymer at it s azeotropic ratio (69/31 (by wt) [747].aMS-AN (32 wt% AN) was shown to be miscible with SAN copolymers with AN contents of 28 to 40 wt% AN, with lest behavior observed [748]. As the a-methyl styrene-AN copolymer has a Tg 25 °C higher than SAN, it is commercially employed in blends with ABS to boost the heat distortion temperature up to 100 °C, required for some appliance applications. SAN copolymers are also miscible with styrene-maleic anyhdride (SMA) co- and terpolymers (e.g., with MMA), and the SMA co-and terpolymers with TgS in the range of 140 °C can also be employed to enhance the heat distortion temperature of ABS [749, 750]. SAN (styrene content = 75wt%) blends with styrene-N-phenyl maleimide copolymers (styrene content = 58 wt%) were found to be miscible and followed time-temperature superposition over the entire composition range [751 ]. N-phenyl maleimide groups can be prepared by reaction of aniline with maleic anhy-...
