Finishing press

After 10 minutes, the data collection will stop. Open the air valve on the stopper. If needed, you can run a second trial by closing the air valve and choosing 2 WES to REPEAT If you are finished, press l NO.

To begin to save a record, press the Bankit button again. The view that now appears must be approved before the submission is completed that is, more changes may be made, or other features may be added. To finish, press Bankit one more time. The final screen will then appear after the user toggles the Update/Finished set of buttons and hits Bankit one last time, the submission will go to NCBI for processing. A copy of the just-finished submission should arrive promptly via E-mail if not, one should contact the database to confirm receipt of the submission and to make any correction that may be necessary. 

Figure 6.21 illustrates the principle of a typical press fdt structure. The base weave is found in the middle layer of the structure. The base weave is circularly woven this means that the weft yarn during weaving is the yarn in the length direction of the finished press felt. The warp yam is the yarn in the cross direction. The weaving loom produces a seamless hose, which can be up to 12 m in width and 70 m in length. Weaving looms can be up to 33 m in width. These endless felts are also called seamless felts and can be used in all applications. 

Partially polymerized resins of urea are used by the textile industry to impart permanent-press properties to fabrics (see also Textiles, finishing). 

Plywood furniture core panels, also about 19 mm (3/4 in.) thick, were normally made of a number of layers of relatively thick, 1.5—3.0 mm (1 /16—1 /8 in.) lower value wood veneers combined with thin surface pHes of the decorative veneer. These assembhes were laid-up from glued veneers and then pressed while the bonding occurred. Both lumber core and plywood core have been almost totally displaced in recent years by particleboard or medium-density fiberboard, both discussed herein. This change resulted from the increasing availabiHty and improved finishing characteristics of composites and from decreasing suppHes of core lumber or veneer of suitable quaHty. 

In addition to the previously noted safety factors associated with these processes, there are additional needs for dust control and ventilation for dissipation of various vapors from pressing, tempering/heat treatment, and machining and finishing operations. 

A small amount of particleboard is made with a fire-retardant treatment for use in locations where codes require this material, as in some offices and elevators. Particleboards receive overlay and finishing treatments with ease. Wood veneers, melamine overlays, printed paper overlays, vinyl overlays, foils, and direct grain printing can all be done quite simply. A small amount of particleboard is also made in the form of shaped, molded articles such as furniture parts, paper roU plugs, bmsh bases, and even toilet seats. There is another small increment of particleboard made by the extmsion process. These products are made in small captive operations owned by furniture manufacturers which consume all of this production in their furniture. The extmsion process differs from conventional flat-pressed particleboard in that the wood furnish is forced between two stationary heated surfaces. The mats are formed from one edge and this edge is alternately formed and pushed between the heated platens, which are maintained at a distance equal to the thickness of board produced. This is an old, slow, small-scale process, but is stiU in use in at least one location. 

Another textile use of acryUc polymers is fabric finishing, to impart a desired hand or feel, or to aid soil release, or for permanent-press features. Copolymers of acrylate esters with acryUc or methacrylic acid serve as thickeners for a variety of textile coating formulations (see Textiles, finishing). 

Pressing and sintering together determine the size and shape of the final product, but these are not well controlled with respect to the critical parts which determine the airgap in the magnetic circuit. For that reason a finishing touch by machining is necessary. 

As previously noted, the APO system leads to fabrics which combine flame resistance and durable press properties however, the toxicity of the aziridinyl system precludes its use in modem textile finishing. 

Miscellaneous. Flame-resistant cross-linked polyethylene can be made with a number of fluoroborates and antimony oxide. This self-extinguishing material may contain the fluoroborates of NH, Na", K", Ca ", Mg ", Sr ", or Ba " in amounts of 4—20% (76). Magnesium fluoroborate cataly2es the epoxy treatment of cotton fabrics for permanent-press finishes (77) (see Textiles). 

The Hartford-Empire 28 is a press-and-blow machine used to make articles such as drinking glasses (tumblers). It uses paste molds and the ware is rotated to avoid the mold seams jars with screw threads cannot be produced. The product leaves the machine as an almost closed, hoUow object and is finished by severing and fire-polishing with a bum-off machine. 

With a sufficiently long press cycle, a state of complete cure is reached. At this point, the laminate is cooled in the press, under pressure, and removed for finishing operations. If the press is opened at a temperature above the boiling point of trapped volatiles, vaporization occurs causing interlaminar blistering which mins the laminate.
