Butyl rubber, also known as isobutylene-isoprene (IIR) rubber, is a synthetic rubber that is produced by copolymerizing isobutylene with a small amount of isoprene. It was first developed by the chemist William Sparks in the 1930s and is commonly used in a variety of applications due to its unique properties. One of the most notable … Continued
Molecular slippage is a phenomenon that occurs when a molecule moves through a narrow channel or pore. It was first described by Dr. Ross E. Dannenberg, a researcher at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), in the early 1980s. According to Dannenberg, when a molecule moves through a narrow channel or pore, it can sometimes … Continued
Rubber is a popular material for sound dampening due to its unique properties. The sound dampening properties of rubber are primarily due to its ability to absorb vibrations and convert them into heat energy. When sound waves hit rubber, the rubber absorbs some of the energy from the wave and converts it into heat, which … Continued
The Central Limit Theorem (CLT) is a fundamental concept in probability theory and statistics. It states that if you take a large enough sample of independent and identically distributed random variables from any distribution with a finite mean and variance, then the sample mean of those variables will approach a normal distribution as the sample … Continued
W. Edwards Deming emphasized the need for changes in management structure and attitudes. He developed a list of “Fourteen Points.” As stated in his book Out of the Crisis they are: Create constancy of purpose for improvement of product and service. Adopt a new philosophy. Cease dependence on inspection to achieve quality. End the practice … Continued
Control plans are an important component of Six Sigma methodology that are used to ensure that a process remains in control and meets customer requirements. A control plan is essentially a document that outlines the steps that need to be taken to maintain process stability and consistency, and it includes details on the key process … Continued
VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, are organic chemicals that easily vaporize at room temperature. They are commonly found in adhesives, coatings, and other industrial products. Exposure to high levels of VOCs can have negative health effects, including respiratory problems and damage to the central nervous system. Chemlok adhesives are a type of adhesive used in … Continued
The effect of polarity on elastomers in contact with steam depends on the specific type of elastomer and its chemical composition. Generally, elastomers with high polarity, such as fluorocarbon (FKM) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), have better resistance to steam than those with low polarity, such as polyurethane (PU) and silicone (VMQ). When elastomers … Continued
Nitrile rubber, also known as NBR (acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber), is a synthetic rubber copolymer composed of acrylonitrile and butadiene. It is a popular elastomer due to its excellent oil and fuel resistance, as well as its high tensile strength and resistance to abrasion, heat, and chemicals. Nitrile rubber is commonly used in automotive and industrial applications … Continued
