Premature Curing

    0.01 sec.
Premature Curing 

(also scorching), an irreversible reduction in the plasticity of rubber stock, which can occur during manufacturing, processing (for example, during calendering), or storage. Premature curing is caused chiefly by the interaction of raw rubber with vulcanizing agents in the stages of the production process that precede actual vulcanization. As a result, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to process the stock into a product. Retarders, or antiscorching agents, are introduced into the rubber stock to prevent premature curing. Phthalic anhydride and N-cyclohexylthiophthalimide are examples of retarders.

Preferably, in the coating a thin and uniform film is produced on a substrate by including a thixotropic agent, premature curing ofthe primary bonding material is prevented by a hygroscopic agent, and the finely divided metal is prevented from settling out by a suspension agent.
The temperature effect of ultrasonic cavitation can cause the premature curing of epoxies.
This air-free dispensing method essentially eliminates the problem of premature curing with air/moisture sensitive products.
