Glazing applications

Pre-formed sealing tapes are widely used in construction applications and for glazing applications in automotive glass. [Pg.653]

Most elastomeric sealants used in structural glazing applications are organic polymers or elastomers. Because organic materials degrade, some changes in the properties of the elastomer can be expected to occur with pas-... [Pg.27]

Epoxy resins for printed circuits, castings, rocket motor casings, coatings, and adhesives are almost all made from bisphenol A. Polycarbonates based on bisphenol A are used in glazing applications such as aircraft windows, school windows, and other areas where a combination of toughness and high clarity are required. [Pg.90]

The polymerization of methyl methacrylate produces poly(methyl methacrylate), an exceptionally clear plastic sold under the names Plexiglas or Lucite as a shatter-proof substitute for glass in windows, doors, and other glazing applications. [Pg.130]

The major uses of BPA are in the production of polycarbonate resins (63%) and epoxy resins (27%). Polycarbonates have major outlets in automotive parts, compact discs, eyeglasses, and sheet and glazing applications, and have caused bisphenol A consumption to more than double during the past decade. Epoxy resins are two-component adhesives for very strong bonding. Miscellaneous uses include flame retardants (mostly tetrabromobisphenol A) and other polymer manufacture. Polycarbonate grade bisphenol A is >99% p,p isomer. The epoxy grade is 95% p,p. The p,p and o,p isomers can be separated by a combination of distillation and crystallization. [Pg.177]

Methyl methacrylate is often used in combination with styrene to improve light transmission and uv stability in flame-retardant glazing applications. Phosphate ester (triethyl phosphate) additives are also included to supplement flame-retardant efficiency benzophenone uv stabilizers are required to prevent yellowing of these uv-sensitive resins.

Many grades of intedayer are produced to meet specific length, width, adhesion, stiffness, surface roughness, color (93,94), and other requirements of the laminator and end use. Sheet can be supplied with vinyl alcohol content from 15 to about 23 wt %, depending on the supplier and application. A common intedayer thickness for automobile windshields is 0.76 mm, but intedayer used for architectural or aircraft glazing applications, for example, may be much thinner or thicker. There are also special grades to bond rear-view mirrors to windshields (95,96) and to adhere the components of solar cells (97,98). Multilayer coextruded sheet, each component of which provides a separate property not possible in monolithic sheet, can also be made (99—101). [Pg.453]

For ceramic and glaze applications, the effect pigments based on substtates like mica are coated with an additional Sn02 layer to give stabilization against the aggressiveness of the frits at high temperatures [5.165]. [Pg.252]

With these tools, it has been possible to develop a whole range of silicone sealants with cure kinetics designed for many different requirements (Fig. 11). The acetoxy sealants are fast curing, and thus well adapted to glazing applications. The oxime sealants are better suited for adhesion on plastics. For applications where a longer tooling time is required, such as expansion seals or perimeter joints, Alkoxy sealants have been developed with a longer skin-over time. [Pg.755]

Polycarbonate is the toughest transparent material available. Its resistance to impact is remarkable, so much so that some jurisdictions require express notification of its use in glazing or removable panels because firemen and rescue squads might have difficulty in breaking through in the event of an emergency. Polycarbonate sheet is made by extrusion process, and maximum sheet thickness is limited to 0.5 in. However, heavier thicknesses, principally used for protective glazing applications, are produced by lamination of several thicknesses. The sheet is supplied either flat or on reels (in thickness up to 0.250 in.). Maximum width is 8 ft [95],... [Pg.218]

Recent advances in polycarbonates include further enhancement of normally good fire resistance color elimination (an improvement approaching glass) and development of scratch-resistant coatings for glazing applications branched material for blow-molding bottles optimization of structural foam molding and compounds selective copolymerization and development of many different commercial polyblends.

Laminated composites containing glass or glass-ceramic layers have received relatively limited attention, apart from standard laminate polymer/glass security panels for building, automotive and other glazing applications [49, 50]. [Pg.520]

There are also preformed sealants to consider within the ambient type of sealants that can be applied on-site. They are pre-moulded and are fabricated from a range of materials (synthetic rubber, PVC) with different shapes (ribbons, tapes, beads, or extruded shapes), and are mainly used for glazing applications. [Pg.346]

Examples of cast film are high clarity, low density polyethylene (LDPE) film for bread bags, pallet wraps, PVC sheets, and polycarbonate (PC) or acrylic sheets for glazing applications. Casting is the initial step in the production of biaxially oriented PP, PS, and PET films. [Pg.3162]
