Preformed strip

Waterstops are defined In BS 8007 Appendix C3 Waterstops are preformed strips of durable Impermeable material that are wholly or partially embedded In the concrete during construction. They are located across joints In the structure to provide a permanent liquid-tight seal during the whole range of joint movements. ... 

Strip Sealants—Hot-Applied Preformed Strips. These sealants are also supplied with backing paper. The backing paper is removed from a suitable length of strip sealant and fit into the slot to be sealed. The strip is then heated to the manufacturer s recommended temperature. Caution must be taken that the heat-softened material achieves continuous... 

The adhesives available to the engineer today are in many forms, from the extrudable types supplied in large drums to the modem films and preformed strips. The film adhesives are usually supported on a fabric backing whilst the preformed strip has sufficient strength in itself to be self-supporting. 

The preformed strip adhesives and the film-carried epoxy system have some advantage over the extrudable types the amount to be applied to a joint can be accurately specified and controlled, so one element of process risk can be eliminated. Where only small amounts are to be applied, the application of the material to the joint does not constitute a problem and this form of application of the material is slowly gaining acceptance in the industry. The more extensive use of the... 

By-product formation can also be reduced by use of a stripping gas or vacuum to faciUtate removal of ammonia (88) however, sublimation of urea becomes excessive if the pressure is too low. Addition of ammonium salts (eg, CU, NO7, or ) (89—91), acids, or pyrolysis of preformed urea salts, eg,... 

If consistency is critical, it is important to remember that the preforms are only as consistent as the compound or rubber strip feeding the extruder. Because of the critical nature of the preform dimensions, extruder manufac-... 

At the glassy carbon electrode, using both in situ and preformed mercury films, similar results were obtained, but the sloping baseline interference observed at the hanging mercury drop electrode was less evident because of the higher stripping currents. 

The sensitivity and resolution of an autoradiograph depend on the emulsion used. Emulsions come in two forms (a) as a gel which needs to be melted and diluted for use by a dipping procedure, and (b) as a preformed sheet which needs to be stripped from a glass plate, floated on a water surface and transferred to the specimen. 

First station usually has multiple preform injection molds where preforms are formed over core pins. The preforms have hemispherical closed ends (resembles a laboratory test tube). The other ends have an open bore, formed by the core pin. External details, such as the thread and neck flange for a screw-top container, are directly produced by injection molding. While the preform is still hot, the injection split mold is opened and the preforms, still on the core pins, are rotated to the blowing station two. Here the preforms are enclosed within the blow mold, and introducing blowing air through the core pins followed with cooling produces the BM. Blow molds opened and the finished products, still on the core pins, are rotated to an ejection station where they are stripped off mechanically and/or air. 

The main sources of TNFa in the skin are mast cells, resident keratinocytes and Langerhans cells. Mature mast cells contain significant quantities of preformed TNFa in their granules that are released in an IgE-dependent manner. Investigators studying the inflammatory response in mouse skin revealed by Western blot analysis that exposure to acetone and tape stripping increased TNFa expression by 72% at 2.5 hr after treatment. The mRNA levels were highest at 1 hr after acetone, and then they decreased to control levels by 8 hr. These studies indicate an immediate response of TNFa to irritants that perturb the epidermal barrier. 

Ejection After a cooling period the blow mould opens and the core rod is rotated to the ejection position. The finished article is stripped off the core rod and leak-tested prior to packing. The preform and blow mould can have many cavities, typically three to sixteen depending on the article size and the required output. There are three sets of core rods, which allow concurrent preform injection, blow moulding and ejection. 

Secondary nucleation occurs when crystals of the solute are present. Less supersaturation is required to generate new particles under this condition. Referring to the types of secondary nucleation shown in Fig. 4-2, all of those are preformed crystals derived by various means from the parent, except for the case where molecular aggregates (clusters) are stripped from the surface. Except for pure breakage effects, as in milling, supersaturation is required in all types of secondary nucleation to satisfy the energetics. 

The preforming of foil based materials also occurs in certain strip packaging operations and for the tropicalised blister packs (i.e. a conventional blister is covered on the plaster (blister) side with shaped foil tray), thus enclosing the whole pack in foil. 

Similarly, strip packs consists of one or two plies, made from regenerated cellulose, paper, plastics, foil or any combination of these, whereby an item is inserted into a pocket area against a recess in a heated platen or roller. However, some systems now involve the use of preformed pockets thereby making it increasingly difficult to differentiate between blister and strip packaging (Figures 13.1 and 13.2). 

The volume occupied by strip packs is invariably high. Some reduction can be achieved by preforming the pockets. Cartoning with the more flimsy materials may create difficulties. For single strips, envelope or catch covers are a useful alternative to cartons. They also make cartoning a much easier operation. Particularly useful for clinical trial supplies (Figure 13.10).

Bending is one of the most commonly used procedures in sheet metal processing industry and is used in different application areas. Also various profiled semifinished products with different cross-sectional shapes can be produced and further processed by bending. In addition to sheet metals, wires, strips, rods, tubes, profiles, and preformed components can be shaped by bending on various forming machines.
