Wood-Adhesive or Wood-Glue or Wood-Resin

Wood glue can be from urea formaldehyde resin or from melamine formaldehyde resin. All this resin have thermosetting resin characteristic. Thermosetting mean that this resin can be changed the characteristic after passing the limit of temperature or limit of time to set. After passing the limit of curing time, this resin can't be back again their characteristic into the beginning, this character is different with thermoplastic resin. Thermoplastic resin can be proceed into the beginning characteristic and can be formed as we want like new plastic, even the quality is not as good as the pure of thermoplastic resin.

Urea formaldehyde already use as wood glue because this resin have double benefit as wood glue. The first benefit of urea formaldehyde resin of course can use as glue. The second benefit of this resin can use as wood preservative agent, because contain of formalin that seep into the wood. With the presence of this formalin then all types of microorganisms do not want to eat this wood. This why urea formaldehyde adhesive still prefer as wood adhesive in Plywood manufacture. Plywood that is composed from particle wood also have better stand to wood germ if mixed with urea formaldehyde on the manufacture. But urea formaldehyde resin have disadvantage, this glue can't stand to water. If often splashed with water, urea formaldehyde resin will loose their strength.

Actually there is other kind of wood glue that is use in small area for glue stick like use melamine formaldehyde. Melamine formaldehyde have better stand to water compare to urea formaldehyde adhesive. Melamine formaldehyde have widely used in textile finished industry and in manufacture of decorative laminate plastic.

Steel Name and the Quality

Stainless Steel Stainless steel, also known as inox steel or inox from French inoxydable, chromium contain in this steel minimum 10.5% make this steel is stand to corrode. All types of stainless steel resist attack from low acid. Stainless types are 304. 316 and 317 and more type. Stainless steel 304 only stand to high pH like in NaOH, in low pH this steel have bad stand. Stainless steel type 304 is purpose for building  construction or for support of piping line and many other use in Industry. Stainless 316 say as standard of molybdenum bearing grade, the best choose after stainless steel 304 because of this price is more higher than 304, so stainless steel 316 become second important to 304 among the austenitic stainless steel. Molybdenum contain in the steel make stainless steel 316 have better overall corrosion resistance properties than grade of 304, especially if use in acidic surrounded environment, such as in Chemical Industries. But for general purposes that need st...

Anodizing Process Summary

Anodizing Aluminum is summarized in Anodizing aluminum is a process to cover aluminum surface with oxide film of anodized aluminum. How to make color on the aluminum layer is a sequence process of each step on anodizing process. Coloring agent to make this layer can use chemicals agent or by reaction of certain chemicals with aluminum surface. The process of anodizing itself using several process in sequence, such as below: Electropolishing of Aluminum : the process to make an old oxide film that already available in aluminum surface should be removed before the process of anodizing being started.  Alkaline solution treatment : this process also have similar purpose like electropolishing, but on this process is used chemical solution to open the oxide film. Some other purpose of anodizing process can use other chemical substances.  Rinsing : rising is a process that done in between of each process. Rising by fresh water is needed to make the surface of aluminum is clean ...

Bronze Product

Bronze often use in spare parts of Industry. Such as bearing and rolls. Bearings are also made largely from the 12% - 20% tin-copper alloys, and belts are the principal product made from copper-tin alloys with from 20% to 25% tin. Bronze also use to produce art product like for Gong in Indonesia. Because this metal have good sound and can hear in far distance. See Also: Bronze Application
