Cyanoacrylates silicone rubber

Adhesives recommended include modified epoxies, modified phenoUcs, epoxy-phenolics, neoprene-phenolics, second-generation acrylics, cyanoacrylates, silicone rubbers, and vinyl plastisols. Sell has ranked a number of adhesives in the order of decreasing durability with aluminum adherends as follows ... 

Polychloroprene, nitrile, natural rubber (polyisoprene), styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) and butyl are amongst the types of rubber that can be readily bonded with cyanoacrylates. Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) and fluroelastomers (Viton, registered trade mark of DuPont) can also be bonded, although only with specific grades of cyanoacrylate. Silicone rubber and thermoplastic rubber (Santoprene, registered trade mark of Advanced Elastomer Systems) can be bonded with the aid of a primer. Typical applications and techniques for bonding different grades of rubber are discussed in Section 10.11. 

Reactive adhesives Reactive adhesives are either low molecular weight polymers or monomers that solidify by polymerization and/or cross-linking reactions after application. Cyanoacrylates, phenolics, silicon rubbers, and epoxies are examples of this type of adhesive. Plywood is formed from impregnation of thin sheets of wood with resin, with the impregnation occurring after the resin is placed between the wooden sheets.

Solvent cementing is usually used with these materials. Conventional adhesives recommended include single- and two-component polyurethanes, cyanoacrylates (Loctite 430 Superbonder), epoxies, and silicone rubbers. 

Another way to classify polymers results from the consideration of their typical applications. Typical classes are Compression molding compounds, injection molding compounds, semi-finished products, films, fibers, foams (urethane foam, styrofoam), adhesives (synthetic adhesives are based on elastomers, thermoplastics, emulsions, and thermosets. Examples of thermosetting adhesives are Epoxy, polyurethane, cyanoacrylate, acrylic polymers), coatings, membranes, ion exchangers, resins (polyester resin, epoxy resin, vinylether resin), thermosets (polymer material that irreversibly cures), elastomers (BR, silicon rubber). 

Silicone rubber is difficult to bond with cyanoacrylates. The adhesive does not wet the surface properly without special surface treatment, due to the very low surface energy, and therefore will not bond. Polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polytetrafluoro ethylene (PTFE) and acetal plastics and Santoprene rubber also fall into this category and cannot be bonded without prior surface preparation. 

These grades of rubber require priming prior to bonding (see also Section 10.6). Although this makes it a two-stage operation cyanoacrylates are used for bonding Santoprene and silicone rubbers. 

Examples in industry include attaching a silicone rubber seal to an aluminium parachute container. A primer is brushed on to the silicone rubber and the cyanoacrylate is applied to the aluminium. Once fully cured the bonded seal assembly prevents dust or moisture entering the safety critical box. 

Due to the high operating temperatures of silicone rubber, cyanoacrylates are not always suitable and RTV silicones may be the only adhesive option if the operating temperature is >150 °C. Silicones have a low surface energy and so will benefit hugely from surface treatment prior to bonding (Table 4.12). 

Zinc is used in multiple applications. It is widely employed for galvanizing steel and iron against rust. It is also used for die casting and forming alloys including brass and bronze. This lustrous blue-white metal is hard/brittle at ambient temperatures. It is malleable at 100—150°C, conducts electricity and heat, is anticorrosive, and has a relatively low melting point (419.5°C). Zinc is the fourth most common metal today. Adhesives recommended include nitrile-epoxies, epoxies, silicones, cyanoacrylates, and rubber-based adhesives [21]. 

Modified Polyphenylene Oxide (NORYL ) Conventional adhesives recommended include epoxies, polysulfide-epoxies, silicone, synthetic rubber, acrylics, cyanoacrylates, and hot melts (14). 

With certain exceptions, cyanoacrylate monomer formulations containing additives e.g. rubbers, high-density neutral resins, silicon dioxide, etc., may hinder accurate and precise analysis using dilution methods. In such cases it may be necessary to prepare samples using destructive techniques, particularly where the levels are very low. Solvent selection for dilution of cyanoacrylate adhesive must be compatible for the entire journey of the sample solution from sample vessel to torch. Failure to do this could cause the cyanoacrylate to polymerise locally and block the entire sample transport system in ICP-OES and can cause serious damage requiring expensive replacements. The solvents suggested in the above dilution methods were found to be satisfactory.
