𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐦𝐢𝐱𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 play a crucial role in the silicone sealant industry. These systems utilize motionless mixers🌀（Hybrid core: We designed it with six small parts welded together to make it more fully mixed, as shown in the picture） to blend materials🎨（𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞, 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥, 𝐚𝐮𝐱𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭）extrusion cross dispersion achieves the mixing effect at the same time, which is especially beneficial for 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡-𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬  like silicone.💧 #SiliconeSealants #StaticMixing #QualityControl #ManufacturingInnovation #colormixing #GreatMachine

Today's Thursday Tidbits is about Wilsonart SOLICOR™ Laminate! Wilsonart® SOLICOR™ Laminate does not provide camouflage for a colored adhesive glue line. This means that adhesive selection is critical! Due to the color-through core, recommended adhesives are rigid set polyvinyl acetate (PVA) and non-pigmented contact types. Follow us for more informative tips and tricks about the awesome product lines that we carry! #thursdaytidbits #didyouknow #wilsonartsolicor #wilsonartdistributor

FAQ: "Why do voids happen in my cured adhesive?" Let us count the ways: Stirring – Mixing multi-part adhesives requires a great deal of stirring, a process that whips in a lot of air, as you can see in the image. Viscosity – Thicker adhesives inhibit the ability of bubbles to migrate to the surface. Fillers – Fillers have micro air bubbles attached to their surface. Heat curing – Micro-bubbles expand during a heat cure process. Sometimes many small bubbles combine to make large voids. Learn how to remove voids during the adhesive mix process! https://ed.gr/ed6zv

Check out this application tip! Ever licked your finger before smoothing silicone? 🤔 If so, you might want to reconsider. By doing so, you're potentially transferring bacteria from your mouth to the wet sealant. Since the sealant hasn't cured yet, the bacteria can spread easily, leading to early mold formation. #tec7 #prepareandfinish #DIY #HomeImprovement #SiliconeTips

Corona treatment is commonly used in the extrusion and laminating industry to improve the adhesion of films, foils, and other materials to one another. It is useful and often necessary because these materials have low surface energy, which makes it difficult for them to bond together. Benefits include: ✅ Improved adhesion of films, foils, and other materials to one another, which improves product quality and durability. ✅ Enhanced printability, making it easier to print on the surface of the material. ✅ Improved surface cleanliness, which reduces the risk of contamination and other issues that can impact product quality. ✅ Improved surface uniformity, which can result in more consistent coating thickness and improved product appearance. ✅ Reduced need for primers, which can reduce costs and simplify the laminating process.

Abrasive CMP slurries can lead to wafer-damaging metal leaching. That's why 3M created CMP pad conditioner coatings to help enable abrasive slurries to be used while minimizing metal contamination. Check them out! #3Mer https://bit.ly/3Y5dBui

Hot Melt Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (HMPSAs) are incredibly versatile. These adhesives are thermoplastic, meaning they melt and re-soften at high temperatures unlike costlier acrylic adhesives which are temperature resistant.
