Experiment § condensation cure type silicone rubber

FX184-9 is a new type of condensation curing silicone rubber. Resin A is hydroxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane, which occurs condensation reaction after mixing with the hardener B silane compound, and volatilizes small molecules to obtain a cross-linking cured adhesive. Condensed-type silicone rubber is often applied in potting. Compared with the addition molding silica gel, it will not be unable to cure due to the contamination of the workpiece and the catalyst poisoning. When the potting depth increases, it takes time for the small molecules to volatilize. If the small molecules did not leave completely, the gas will expand violently at high temperature, causing the adhesive to be forced to crack (Figure 1,2). In order to meet the operating time and hardness penetration at the same time, rate control becomes very important. After cured at room temperature for 48 hours, put it in 200°C oven (Figure 3). The small molecules still have the phenomenon of cracking. After adjusting the formula, it was cured at room temperature for 24 hours and then put in 200°C oven. Although the substance was reduced, it did not leave completely (Figure 4). With the same formula, it was cured at room temperature for 48 hours and then put in 200°C oven, and the adhesive had no defects (Figure 5). This adhesive is used for potting and high-temperature resistant applications. It is the best choice for non-drying silica adhesive. You are welcome to contact us.

Activity § Initiation of epidemic prevention measures

As the epidemic situation in Taiwan has worsened, in order to strengthen the prevention of the epidemic, we need to measure body temperature, wear medical masks, install anti-epidemic partitions in the office and dining areas, and control the diversion of each factory. Some public facilities are temporarily suspended to maintain social distance. The purpose is to avoid the risk of cross-infection so that customers can be assured of the stability of products and delivery. Everyone is responsible for epidemic prevention.

 

Knowledge § What is the reliability test

A good product not only has good characteristics in the early stages of use but also has to withstand the test of time. Reliability testing is a method to evaluate whether the characteristics can still be satisfied after long-term use. In practice, various environmental tests will be carried out on the finished products that are actually used. Actual workpieces often fail to obtain accurate results, and we will use standard test pieces for evaluation. According to the adhesive, for example, we will test according to the customer's use environment, such as high and low-temperature cycles or high humidity environments. The project will be adjusted for different needs, such as bending, tensile, impact and other mechanical properties, strength, peeling and other adhesive properties. Resistance, breaking voltage and other electrical properties, as well as glass transition temperature, expansion coefficient, cracking temperature, which properties related to temperature.

 

Living § Tasting tea and feeling inside

In 2014, I joined the tea world, and the first time I drank Tibetanshou Pu'er tea and wild ancient tree tea. If you want to brew a perfect cup of tea, it is necessary to choose an appropriate set of tea sets. The process of making tea: from the control of water temperature to the selection of tea leaves to the time of steeping, every step seems simple, but it is a not-so-simple knowledge. After learning to brew tea for a while, I realized that drinking tea can slow down our compact pace of life in addition to the enjoyment of the taste buds. What surprised me was that when I focused on tasting tea, I was able to clearly observe how my breathing changed, and it could calm my mind and body for a moment. This is the reason why I devoted myself to the tea-tasting culture and invited relatives and friends to restore the ancient ceremony to promote the tea-serving ceremony.

The "World Tea Culture Promotion Association" implements the tea service and encourages love spoken. Through the etiquette of serving tea, children are taught to know, be grateful, and repay gratitude. By serving tea to our parents, the interaction between them and their family members have become more harmonious. In addition to becoming closer, we also understand each other more understandably. By serving tea with love, turning love into action, helping the elderly in need, and bringing them warmth and laughter. I can't help but feel more at ease in my heart. In the age of information explosion, do you leave yourself a moment of solitude? Do you allow time for your family to spend time with? Perhaps tasting and serving tea can inject different feelings into your life. While tasting the sweet and refreshing fragrance of tea, you can also experience the touch of tea.
