Ash content of adhesives

Federal Test Method Std. 175B, Method 4032.1 Ash content of adhesives. 

Although the primary purpose of this chapter is to discuss mechanical testing and strength of adhesive joints, the reader should be aware that ASTM covers a wide variety of tests to measure other properties. ASTM, for example, includes standard tests to measure the viscosity of uncured adhesives, density of liquid adhesive components, nonvolatile content of adhesives, filler content, extent of water absorption, stress cracking of plastics by liquid adhesives, odor, heat stability of hot-melt adhesives, ash content, and similar properties or features of adhesives.

Solution adhesive is obtained from solid rubber obtained by coagulation of latex as acquired from the tree. The coagulation is effected by dilute aqueous solution of organic acids. The solid rubber can be graded in terms of dirt content, ash content, nitrogen content, and volatile matter. It can also be categorized by plasticity retention index and Mooney viscosity. To maintain uniformity it is necessary to choose solid natural rubber of known characteristics.

Granulated fly ash [6] can substitute for Portland cement to an extent of 40% to 60%. Fly ash is used in granulated form and has a moisture content around 10% to 20%. The formulation can be used for cementing oil and gas wells within a temperature range of 20° to 250° C. The solution has reduced water absorption and increased sedimentation stability. A formulation [1388] is shown in Table 18-2. Hydrosil (Aerosil) is used to increase the adhesion of the produced cement rock to the casing string. It also reduces the density and water absorption. 

The same approach is employed to describe shear-induced transport of soot particles. Based on limited amount of experimental information for such phenomena in the literature we have established a flow cell where soot entrainment from the surface of preloaded filters from the engine exhaust can be studied. Preliminary experiments at ambient conditions reveal that no soot entrainment is observed up to relevant shear rates at the entrance of DPFs. We attribute this to the moisture content in ambient conditions of the soot deposits that due to capillary condensation increases adhesive forces between the particles. In the future experiments at high temperatures are planned to evaluate experimentally the shear-entrained fluxes for soot and ash deposits. 

In general, high protein content and solubility are desirable casein properties. Fat, lactose, moisture, ash, bacteria, and odor are expected to be low. Light-colored material is also preferred. The viscosity and particle size sought depend on the compounding practices and intended use of the adhesive. 

A study of the effect of ashing of epoxy adhesives for metals content was carried out as follows. 

This leads to the conclusion that the Si02 content will not react with other ash constituents but will only alter the portion of slag-relevant constituents for coals in which Si02 appears largely as quartz. The microspheres generated by fusion primarily determine the adhesion process in the liquid state and have a chemical composition different from the average ash analysis.
