Canadian balsam

Resin is an article of considerable importance in the manufacture of printing ink, since, when dissolved in the oil—after the latter has undergone ebullition and inflammation—it communicates body to the fluid, and the compound bears a great resemblance to Canadian balsam. For many inks, the quality of the common... 

The runs quenched by switching out power supply and temperature fall down to 100°C during 1 minute and in the same time the pressure decreased by intensifier to 300 MPa. After quenching the bomb cooled down to room temperature, pressure decreased to atmospheric and bomb opened. Capsules checked for hermetic, opened and quarts seed cleaned by water, dried, and fixed by Canadian balsam inside glass tubes. The tubes were cut on 5-7 discs with 0.6-0.7 mm thickness and each ones was two side polished (0.5 mm thickness after).

Another report came from Canada in 1959 when Bender published research results of utilizing eastern Canadian barks as furnish for wet-process insulation board and hardboard (33). Bark species included in the study were black spruce and balsam fir each contained 25-35% wood. A Sprout-Waldron disk refiner was used to prepare the bark fiber, and boards were made with lh% wax emulsion but contained no added binder. Physical tests indicated the boards met some commercial specifications the author believed that addition of more woody fiber would improve the properties. In addition, a few experimental dry-process particleboards were made with addition of some unnamed binder that was a byproduct material.
