Neoprene-steel surface

A manual microfiltration apparatus (Fig. 3) has been made by the present authors for use with a CRC thimble. The apparatus is constructed of stainless steel with neoprene rubber seals. A hollow base holds a test tube for collection of the filtrate, if required, and has a connection for a vacuum pump. The top, which fits onto the base with an O ring, has on its upper surface a well to hold the CRC thimble and a support for the removable filter cover. The cover has a probe that is inserted into the solution to be filtered. When negative pressure is applied to the vacuum connection and the CRC thimble is held in place by the filter cover, the airtight seals enable solution to pass through the probe. 

The chemically resistant coatings, such as the baked phenolics, baked epoxies, and the air-dry epoxy, vinyl, and neoprene coatings, are ideal for minimizing contamination of chanicals handled in steel equipment. They should not be used where 100% protection from corrosion is required. An excellent material for immersion service has been developed that consists of flakes of glass dispersed in a polyester resin. This is applied by spray to a properly prepared surface, and the wet coating is rolled with a paint roller to orient the glass flakes in a plane parallel to the substrate and to provide maximum resistance to chemical attack.

There are many t3 es of isolation systems used today to protect die buildings from earthquakes. Most of these systems incorporate either elastomeric bearings, with natural mbber or neoprene, or sliding bearings, with the Teflon or Stainless steel sliding surface. However, many new and different isolation systems are proposed each year, and the number of these systems continues to increase year by year. This chapter discusses only the elastomeric base isolators. 

Steel wheels with ball bearings. The most rugged and commonly used wheels, these are used where long life is a requirement. Life potential of this wheel is 10 times that of aluminum. Steel wheels can be covered with neoprene tires and are used to reduce shock, prevent slippage, increase traction, prevent marring fragile surfaces, and reduce noise. 

Adhesives used to bond acetal homopolymer (Dehin ) to itself and to other materials, such as aluminum, steel, natural rubber, neoprene rubber, and Buna rubber, include polyester with isocyanate-curing agent, rubber-based adhesives, phenohcs, epoxies, modified epoxies, and vinyls. Solvent cementing cannot be used unless the surfaces are specially roughened, because of the high solvent resistance of this material [23]. Other adhesive types sometimes used are resorcinol, vinyl-phenolic, ethylene vinyl acetate, cyanoacrylates, and polyurethane.
