Tack life

After its manufacture, the prepreg is backed with release film for storage in a cool dry place or in a refrigerator until its use. Typically prepregs have a guaranteed shelf life of 12 months at -18 °C. Tack life at 23 °C depends on the thermosetting polymer. 

The work life, then, is the time a prepreg will be allowed to spend under workshop conditions (i.e. generally at room temperature). Work life is often further divided into a tack life, being the duration during which the prepreg will still have sufficient tack to be processed and a stand-by time, being the maximum duration during which a completed lay-up will be allowed to... 

Tackiness is the ability of a solder paste to hold surface mount components in place between placement and reflow soldering. The tackiness of a paste is one indicator of whether the paste is still usable. Tack strength provides a measure of a pastes ability of retaining a component in place. Whereas solder paste tack life in an indication of how long a solder paste can hold a... 

Fillers. They are generally added to reinforce NBR adhesives. However, fillers can be added to promote tack, to increase the storage life, to improve heat resistance or to reduce cost. The most common fillers are carbon blacks. Precipitated silica can be used in applications where black colour is not acceptable, but excessive amounts tend to reduce adhesion. Titanium dioxide can be used to impart whiteness, improves tack and extend storage life. 

When formulating a silicone adhesive, sealant, or coating, based on hydrosilylation addition cure, one must consider the following properties of the uncured product pot life, dispensing technique, rheology, extrusion rate, cure performance. These characteristics directly affect the processing properties of the polymer base or crosslinker parts. The degree of cure conversion at the temperature of interest is determined by properties such as tack free time, cure profile and cure time. Once... 

I have no evidence, but I should be astonished if what I told him is incorrect. Patrician families keep family wealth where it belongs— in the family. Donna Alina had five brothers. That the plague would carry off everyone but she would have seemed so unlikely at the time their wills were drawn up that the prospect would not have been considered. The lawyers would have tacked on some standard paragraph giving her a life interest. ... 

The core of a taxidermy specimen may contain wire, soft wood, and stuffing material, with the skin stretched over it and sewn together. The stuffing can be just about anything. Straw and excelsior were common, but other plant materials or hair have also been used. Taxidermists who need to make mounts of similar animals repeatedly often create body casts in plaster from a mold that can be reused. Modem taxidermists often use pre-cast body molds made of plastic, wood, fiberglass, or compressed paper. The nose, eyes, and other elements of the outer body that were, in life, composed of soft tissue are usually replaced by replicas made of glass, wax, plastic, or resin. Paint and resin or lacquer may have been applied to various areas of the body in an effort to produce a natural color, or to protect the skin. Taxidermy mounts may contain screws, tacks, or bits of wire inside, as part of the frame, and at the surface where they are used to hold various body parts in place, like hooves, andeis, or hom sheaths. 

Physical properties were evaluated using standard DIN or ASTM specifications. The sealants were filled into Teflon molds to form homogeneous test pieces of comparable thickness. The specimens were then moisture cured and conditioned at 25 °C and 50% relative humidity for 14 days before mechanical property testing. The hardness of the cured sealant samples was measured by Shore A. Shelf life at 50 °C was determined for a maximum of 21 days. Tack-free times were determined by finger touch under ambient conditions. For adhesion testing the substrates were first wiped with either methyl ethyl ketone (aluminum, steel, glass, concrete, wood) or methanol (PVC, PMMA, ABS, polystyrene), then washed with detergent, rinsed with distilled water, and allowed to air dry prior to preparation of the test specimens. Specimens were cured for 14 days at ambient conditions.

One could also have recourse to a broadly anthropic consideration, although Henderson did not take this tack. If (as Henderson believed) a multitude of planetary worlds exist where life could possibly be found, one would expect to find it in an environment for which it is fitted. 

Another possibility for adhesives to be classified is the differentiation between organic compounds of natural products, so-called natural adhesives, and products resulting from targeted chemical reactions, so-called synthetic adhesives. Many substances are known from daily life, which show a natural tack, for example, tree resins, plant juices, waxes, proteins, gelatine, casein, starch. In comparison to synthetically produced adhesives they are heavily lagging behind in terms of quantity, however, they partly show excellent properties in special applications, such as casein adhesives for bottle labelling. 

Prepregs Prepregs are thin sheets of fibers impregnated with formulated thermoset precursors. The thermoset precursor formulation in the prepreg is in the so-called B-stage that characterizes an ungelled liquid of very high viscosity, but with the necessary tack, flexibility, and shelf life to facilitate part production.
