ADDITION CURE

Curing Two-Part Silicones for Potting, Encapsulating, and Mold Making Two-part silicones are used for potting electronic assemblies, encapsulating electronic components, and making molds for cast urethane rubber. Each part contains functional ingredients, and the two parts are mixed together in a specific ratio. The entire system requires curing so that the silicone hardens and acquires its end-use properties. Curing, the […]

VACUUM BAGGING TECHNIQUES

What is vacuum bagging? Vacuum bagging (or vacuum bag laminating) is a clamping method that uses atmospheric pressure to hold the adhesive or resin-coated components of a lamination in place until the adhesive cures. (When discussing composites, “resin” generally refers to the resin system— mixed or cured resin and hardener—rather than unmixed epoxy resin.) Modern […]

RTV SILICONE IN AEROSPACE AND AVIATION

Manufacturers in aerospace and aviation have used silicones since their inception, however not everyone is familiar with all of their capabilities. Silicones seal joints, coat and encapsulate electronics and insulate and shield sensitive equipment from extreme temperatures and weather exposure. The versatility of silicone and its high temperature resistance have made it a reliable choice […]

EPOXY RESIN BUFFING

Polishing resin is a relatively simple process that just takes a little patience and effort. This instructable will address how to polish resin to a high gloss. The same methods I will address in this how to, apply to all cast resin polishing, and can be used to polish virtually any type of resin be […]

MONOCHLORAMINE-INTRODUCTION & APPLICATION

Chloramines are a group of chemical compounds that contain chlorine and ammonia. The particular type of chloramine used in drinking water disinfection is called monochloramine which is mixed into water at levels that kill germs but are still safe to drink. pH and Monochloramine If the pH of water is above 7 (neutral) then you […]
