Binders bulk components

If compression is requited to provide a stick or pan-type of product, the bulk components must be held together with a binder. Common binders ate various Hpids, polymers, polysaccharides, and waxes. Some binder compositions include water, which is removed by drying the compact. The amount of binder must be carefully controlled to yield a soHd, nonfragile compact that is soft enough to pay off. Excessive amounts of or improperly compounded binders glaze during use because of transfer of skin lipids to the compact. 

A typical product has the following characteristics number average molecular weight, — 1800 carboxyl assay, — 1.1 meq./gram color, amber bulk viscosity (Brookfield synchrolectric viscometer) 70°F., 8000 poises, 100°F., 2000 poises, 150°F., 250 poises, and 250°F., 15 poises. The product can be cured with polyfunctional epoxides, aziridines, and isocyanates for applications such as thermoset and pressure sensitive adhesives, electronic component encapsulation, rocket propellant binders, epoxy flexibilizers, etc. Detailed vulcanization data can be obtained for the 1800 molecular weight material, EMD-590, from the Enjay Chemical Co., Cranford, N. J. 

It is less clear why there has been very little use of other types of inorganic matrices. Some inorganic solids would seem to have useful properties for this purpose, but the only one which has been described in any detail is sodium silicate. This was the binder for the bonded coating developed by the US Naval Aircraft Materials Laboratory which was described in Chapter 11, but the same material was used ° as a bulk composite in certain components in a dry-lubricated engine. It was used to provide transfer lubrication, and presumably it was not capable of use in load-bearing situations. 

With the exception of very few applications where particles are so small that they naturally agglomerate in the dry state, tumble agglomeration methods utilize binders. Even in those materials that contain the binder component inherently, this constituent of the bulk mass to be agglomerated is so obvious that one cannot classify such processes as binderless. 

Their mechanism can be presented as follows. During thermal treatment, FO contact the polymer melt and the oxides partially reduce to metals [72]. This leads to the generation of microchains M1-P-M2 in the lubricant bulk and formation of an MPE as a result of electrochemical interactions of unlike metal components. As a consequence, adhesive interactions between the filler and binder intensify. In our view, the high level of antiscoring properties and low friction coefEcient can be attributed to the catalyzing effect of the reduced metals on the formation of the friction polymers from the products of mechanical destruction of organic components of the lubricant.

Paint typically contains four major components. They are pigment, binder, liquid, and additives. The pigment is simply a powder in its unmixed form. It is used to determine the paint s color and appearance. Prime pigments are responsible for the paint s color or whiteness. Titanium dioxide is the main ingredient (prime pigment) in most white paints. Extender pigments are used to add bulk to the paint. Silica is an example of an extender pigment that is used to increase the paint s durability. 

The methacryloxyethyl derivatives of the various isomeric hydroxybenzaldehydes also are relatively low melting crystalline monomers that can be formulated to give both ternary and binary liquid mixtures (21). The synthesis of these monomers is shown in Fig. 4. These monomers may have application, if not as the main component of a dental resin binder, at least as a unique type of diluent. Clear, tough pol nners that are only partially soluble resulted from their bulk, free radical polymerization. Apparently, the aldehyde functionality enables these monomers to act as chain transfer agents which can delay the onset of gelation, and, perhaps, reduce residual vinyl unsaturation of dental monomer systems which utilize them as diluent comonomers.
