A very good way is the use of piston metering heads. The ratio of resin to hardener can be determined exactly by the ratio of the width of two separate pistons, one for resin, one for hardener, where both pistons are pushed simultaneously. The amount is determined by a common stopper, limiting the stroke of both pistons equally.
A package of J-B Weld, showing "hardener" (red tube) and "steel" (black tube of resin): equal amounts are squeezed from both tubes and mixed. The J-B Weld Company is an international company that produces epoxy products. The home office is based in Sulphur Springs, Texas. [1]
Bondo, a two-part mix (resin with hardener added) of talc and plastic, was introduced in 1955. [7] It was developed by WWII veteran and automotive repair shop owner Robert Merton Spink of Miami , Florida . [ 8 ]
This method involves heating up the composite to a temperature at which resin will melt and fibers remain stable, burning off resin and weighing fibers, the volume fraction can be calculated from the initial weight of composite and fiber's weight. [6] This method is typically used with glass fibers. [7]
The resin and hardener part together is known as the "Binder". As the name indicates, in Fusion bonded epoxy coatings the resin part is an "epoxy" type resin. “Epoxy” or “Oxirane” structure contains a three membered cyclic ring — one oxygen atom connected to two carbon atoms – in the resin molecule. This part is the most reactive ...
Resorcinol glue, also known as resorcinol-formaldehyde, is an adhesive combination of resin and hardener that withstands long-term water immersion and has high resistance to ultraviolet light. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The adhesive, introduced in 1943, has been popular in aircraft and boat construction.
Alternately, resin casting may be accomplished with a resin plus a nearly equal amount of a "hardener" liquid (as in many epoxy resin or polyester resin systems), which functionally contains a second polymer, for use in forming a final product plastic which is a copolymer. Copolymers contain two different alternating chemical entities in the ...
The amine value is useful in helping determine the correct stoichiometry of a two component amine cure epoxy resin system. [6] [7] [8]It is the number of Nitrogens x 56.1 (Mwt of KOH) x 1000 (convert to milligrams) divided by molecular mass of the amine functional compound.
