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.

Solubility of Chromic Acid

The kind of chromic acid are vary, there are technical uses and analytical purposes. Chromic acid is acidic chemicals with red color. Sometimes very strong red and sometimes pale red color. Chromic acid is poisonous chemicals if inhale of fume, and corrosive agent if dilute in water and contact with steel. Chromic acid concentration can be analyses in laboratory use certain method to analyses this substance. Chromic acid is produce in chrome industry, uses some high tech to produce this acid. Supplier will distribute this acid to all over the world. Chromic acid is dangerous if exposed to our body directly, so safety precaution and safety equipment should be use on handle this chemical. Chromic acid have carcinogenic characteristic if stay long time in our body. So people who work with this chemicals must read first MSDS of chromic acid. The formula of chromic acid is H2CrO4 and H2Cr2O7 each type of this formula have different characteristic on application. Some product purpose sh...

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

Bronze Alloy

The bronze alloy is among the oldest artificially produced alloys. The bronze age was coined by archaeologists to characterize the period following the neolithic when weapons and tools began to be constructed of bronze. Bronze have been is made by copper metal as base metal and mixed with tin and can be mixed with a little of zinc and phosphorous elements. See Also: Chromic Acid Quality
