  • How does temperature impact the cure profile of my adhesive? (3m.com.pa)
  • Take as an example an adhesive that has an open time of 20 minutes at 25°C, or room temperature. (3m.com.pa)
  • In fact, above about 50°C reactions proceed even faster, so if you look at a technical bulletin on increasing the reaction speed of a heat-curing adhesive, once you get above about 50°C you can fully cure these adhesives that would take days at room temperature in a number of hours. (3m.com.pa)
  • If the adhesive has just reached handling strength or is still somewhat liquid, temperature exposure will do something different than if it's fully cured three weeks or six months after you assembled it. (3m.com.pa)
  • What is the actual load being applied to the adhesive while it's exposed to the temperature? (3m.com.pa)
  • The backbone of this effort is the development of composite performance curves that correlate change in strength as a function of temperature. (napipelines.com)
  • When heated, a thermoset resin does not melt like a "thermoplastic" resin, but it can significantly reduce in strength near the glass transition temperature range (Tg). (napipelines.com)
