Chalk mechanical properties

LCPs are slightly altered by one year of outdoor exposure, with a light surface chalking, but after a 2000 h exposure in a Weather-Ometer, retention of mechanical properties is superior to 90%. 

By far the most important phenolic resins are those made from phenol and formaldehyde. They exhibit high hardness, good electrical and mechanical properties, and chemical stability. Very often they are used in combination with (reactive) fillers like sawdust, chalk, pigments etc. 

Compaction of chalky reservoirs during oil extraction and other important problems like the "casing collapse" or the "chalk production" are related to the mechanical properties of chalk. Controlling compaction is very important because reservoir deformations imply seabed subsidence that endangers the offshore stations.

Chlorinated Rubber-Acrylic Resin Combinations. Physically drying acrylic resins are used for these combinations. These combinations have the same drying rates as normal chlorinated rubber paints (see Section 2.3.2). They have improved flow properties (particularly when applied by pouring techniques), improved weather resistance (chalking and yellowing), and favorable mechanical properties (adhesion and extensibility). Applications include topcoats for ship superstructures and priming coats on galvanized surfaces.

As stated previously, styrene-diene triblock copolymers are the most important category of thermoplastic elastomers. Unlike most other TPEs, they can be blended with large quantities of additives without a drastic effect on properties. In almost all applications, the actual triblock copolymer content is less than 50%. Oils are used as a processing aid and do not result in a significant loss of properties if the polystyrene domains are not plasticized. For this reason, naphthalenic oils are preferred. The use of inert fillers such as clays or chalks reduces the cost of the final material. Unlike conventional rubbers, inert fillers do not have a substantial effect on the mechanical properties of TPEs. Thermoplastics such as polyethylene or polypropylene are also used to improve the solvent resistance and can increase the upper service temperature. Polystyrene homopolymer is used as a processing aid, which also increases the hard phase weight fraction and causes the material to stiffen. 

Omya has also introduced Omyalene NE 102, consisting of chalk dispersed in a small quantity of polyolefin for use in non-pressure pipes, thermoformed sheet and injection mouldings. Its virtues are its easy dispersion and good mechanical properties. 

While the original, basic low-performance materials such as clays and chalks are still used very widely, the modern market is placing increasing pressure on manufacturers to offer fillers that give some additional value, such as improvement in mechanical properties. They are increasingly called upon to provide other value-added functions, such as mechanical properties. UV or heat stability, thermal or electrical conductivity, dimensional stability, or flame retardancy. Increased interest in environmental aspects is creating demand now for fillers that are based on vegetable materials such as cellulose.
