| Popis: | In the development of thermoset coating and adhesive formulations, optimum cure conditions are defined based on measurements of physical properties, chemical resistance, and durability. The range of cure conditions over which a thermoset material exhibits acceptable performance constitutes a cure window for the material, and can be used to define acceptable limits of variability for production processes. There is variability intrinsic to the stoving of complex articles of manufacture: local variations in heat transfer and thermal mass result in substantial variations in temperature history. By applying chemical understanding of crosslinking processes and basic chemical engineering principles, cure strategies can be evaluated using a combination of heat transfer and chemical kinetic models. Examples drawn from research on automotive paints and adhesives are given. |
