Standard mold

High strength calcium hypochlorite (HCH) molded into pieces approximately 15 mm high and 30 mm in diameter and weighing 20 g is used as the standard molded oxidizer. 

Table II shows the ingredients used in this comparison between the stable bromine CEN and the standard high purity resins. These ingredients are found in standard molding compounds for use in microelectronic encapsulation.

The electronics industry desires improved flame suppressant additives for microelectronic encapsulants due to bromine induced failure. Epoxy derivatives of novolacs containing meta-bromo phenol have exhibited exceptional hydrolytic and thermal stability in contrast to standard CEN resins with conventional TBBA epoxy resins. When formulated into a microelectronic encapsulant, this stable bromine epoxy novolac contributes to significant enhancements in device reliability over standard resins. The stable bromine CEN encapsulant took about 30% more time to reach 50% failure than the bias pressure cooker device test. In the high temperature storage device test, the stable bromine CEN encapsulant took about 400% more time to reach 50% failure than the standard compound. Finally, the replacement of the standard resins with stable bromine CEN does not adversely affect the desirable reactivity, mechanical, flame retardance or thermal properties of standard molding compounds. 

Due to the nature of sensing intensive physical parameters (i.e., pressure, flow, etc.) the sensor has to have access to the environment to be sensed. Thus mold packages are inappropriate, but premolded packages may be an alternative (Fig. 5.8.3). Although more expensive than the standard mold package, the pre-molded version offers the required accessibility and retains many of the typical mold package advantages, especially when the external dimensions are kept standard. 

Within this comprehensive scheme the reader may note that the treatments vary widely with respect to taste, and point of view. It is the Editor s policy to encourage individual expression in these presentations because it is stifling to originality and justifiably annoying to many authors to submerge themselves in a standard mold. Scientific writing need not be as dull and uniform as it too often is. In certain technical details, a consistent pattern is followed for the sake of convenience, as in the form used for reference citations and indexing.

VE polyurethane resins have mechanical properties similar or superior to those of conventional VE and epoxies. Characteristics include a heat distortion temperature of 120C (248F). Ultimate elongation of an unreinforced molding compound without fillers is 5.5% tensile strength is 80 MPa and flexural strength 150 MPa. The resins can be custom-formulated. Applications include customized automobile parts, recreational vehicles, outdoor equipment, tubs/showers and electrical parts. The resins are suitable for standard molding processes some were specifically developed for pultrusion, RIM, foam, adhesive, and polymer concrete applications. 

Shrinkage in (elastomeric) structural components is the amount by which mold and molding dimensions differ. The relevant reference parameters are the standardized mold dimensions. 

Use standard mold parts and accessories wherever possible. Many molds, approximately 70%, are now designed around standardized components as this can speed up the drafting process (the standardized components may be held in a computerized system) and, their use can also reduce mold costs - both production costs and, maintenance costs. The range of components now offered by some companies e.g. DME, Hasco, is now very impressive with items such as the following now being standard ... 

Cup-flow test n. A British standard test (B S 771) for measuring the flow properties of phenolic resins. A standard mold is charged with the specimen material and then closed under preset pressure. The time in seconds for the mold to close completely is the cup-flow index.
