Melting block

If granulated tin is not available it may be prepared by melting block-tin over a blow-pipe in a long-handled iron spoon provided with a spout, and then pouring the metal drop by drop from a height of 2-3 feet into a bucket filled with water.

While conventional processing of polymers involves melting, block copolymers such as PS-fo-PnBA display melt-like behavior simply on application of pressure at room temperature this is due to pressure-induced miscibility of the blocks (baroplastics [104]).

Styrenic block copolymers (SBCs) are also widely used in HMA and PSA appHcations. Most hot melt appHed pressure sensitive adhesives are based on triblock copolymers consisting of SIS or SBS combinations (S = styrene, I = isoprene B = butadiene). Pressure sensitive adhesives typically employ low styrene, high molecular weight SIS polymers while hot melt adhesives usually use higher styrene, lower molecular weight SBCs. Resins compatible with the mid-block of an SBC improves tack properties those compatible with the end blocks control melt viscosity and temperature performance. 

Blocks of rich cmst are added periodically and allowed to melt. As melting takes place, the lead-rich phase sinks to the bottom and is withdrawn from the kettie by a syphon. The lighter silver—2inc phase rises and floats on the surface of the lead. After sufficient silver—2inc alloy has accumulated, it is tapped from the top section of the kettie. In this manner it is possible to achieve a 120 1 concentration of the silver in the cmst which is passed on for retorting. The lead removed from the bottom of the kettie typically contains 0.5% silver and 2% 2inc.
