Hot Melt Glue
Hot melt adhesive (HMA), also known as hot glue, is a form of thermoplastic adhesive that is commonly supplied in solid cylindrical sticks of various diameters, designed to be melted in an electric hot glue gun. The gun uses a continuous-duty heating element to melt the plastic glue, which the user pushes through the gun either with a mechanical trigger mechanism on the gun, or with direct finger pressure. The glue squeezed out of the heated nozzle is initially hot enough to burn and even blister skin. The glue is tacky when hot, and solidifies in a few seconds to one minute. Hot melt adhesives can also be applied by dipping or spraying.
In industrial use, hot melt adhesives provide several advantages over solvent-based adhesives. Volatile

Tack: the degree of surface stickiness of the adhesive; influences the strength of the bond between wetted surfaces
4.Surface energy: which influences wetting of different kind of surfaces.
Materials Used:
Hot melt glues usually consist of one base material with various additives. The composition is usually formulated to have a glass transition temperature (onset of brittleness) below the lowest service temperature and a suitably high melt temperature as well. The degree of crystallization should be as high as possible but within limits of allowed shrinkage. The melt viscosity and the crystallization rate (and corresponding open time) can be tailored for the application. Faster crystallization rate usually implies higher bond strength. To reach the properties of semicrystalline polymers, amorphous polymers would require molecular weights too high and, therefore, unreasonably high melt viscosity; the use of amorphous polymers in hot melt adhesives is usually only as modifiers. Some polymers can form hydrogen bonds between their chains, forming pseudo-cross-links which strengthen the

Pigmented versions are also made. Materials containing polar groups, aromatic systems, and double and triple bonds tend to appear darker than non-polar fully saturated substances; when a water-clear appearance is desired, suitable polymers and additives, e.g. hydrogenated tackifying resins, have to be

Emotive Value Of Colour Essay
1020 Words | 5 PagesCHAPTER 1 RESEARCH PROPOSAL Background to the research problem Colours are different wavelengths of light, which are reflected from countless objects. Humans possess the skill to distinguish between hundreds of bands of wavelengths, by utilizing the sensory cells in the retina of the eye (Gage, 2006). Consequently seeing in colour is our own perception and a personal experience. Perception of colour is manipulated by various factors, such as mood, emotion, gender, temperament, age and persona, as well as social and cultural background (Begum, 2008).

This area of the commercial is effective because it shows the consumer that they are getting a product that can be useful for many situations and not just one. This makes the product seem more worth the purchase. The commercial next shows a large tree branch crashing through a roof during a big rainstorm causing a lot of damage. Phil then demonstrates the wider version of Flex Tape allowing it to fully cover the hole and keep the rain out.
Properties Of Substances Lab Report
1038 Words | 5 PagesProperties of Substances Express Lab 1)The purpose of this lab was to compare the physical properties of different types of solids and how the properties of solids are determined by their intermolecular forces and their intramolecular bonds. Then we were to classify each type of solid as either ionic, metallic, non-polar molecular, polar molecular, or network. Paraffin wax classified as a non-polar molecular, Silicon dioxide was classifies as a network, Sodium chloride was classified as ionic, Sucrose was classified as polar molecular and Tin was classified as metallic. (2)The intermolecular forces that are present in Paraffin wax are dispersion forces, because it is non-polar and carries a negative charge. Followed by Sucrose that has

In order to accurately digest the experiments results, research of definitions of each relating led to the following information: ionic compounds are positive and negatively charged ions that experience attraction to each other and pull together in a cluster of ionic bonds; they are the strongest compound, are separated in high temperatures, and can be separated by polar water molecules. A covalent compound forms when two or more nonmetal atoms share valence electrons; covalent compounds are also

Technical limits did not allow printing in color until the 1730s/40s and earlier prints were hand-colored principally with an orange lead oxide (tan-e) pigment to make them more appealing. With the introduction of color printing with two blocks (benizuri-e, lit. ‘pink-print pictures’) it was not long until multicolor printing was achieved, in 1765.
