Subject field(s)
  • Glues and Adhesives (Industries)
  • Plywood
DEF

An adhesive made from phenol and formaldehyde ...

OBS

Phenol-formaldehyde adhesives. Phenol, a poisonous crystalline organic acid, on condensation with formaldehyde, forms a phenolic resin that was one of the first thermosetting adhesives produced. It has been used in plywood, in structural and decorative laminates... Resorcinol, a crystalline phenol, reacts with formaldehyde to form a glue capable of setting without heat like the less costly phenolic resin, but unlike the phenolic glue that cures, or sets, under acid conditions, the resorcinol-formaldehyde adhesive cures under neutral or near neutral conditions.

Subject field(s)
  • Farming Techniques
  • Soil Improvement and Fertilizer Management
CONT

Passive Aeration Windrow Composting.... PAWS [Passively Aerated Windrow System] has two essential features, passive aeration and envelopment [...] The air in the middle of a compost pile or windrow is warmed up by the heat generated by oxidation of the waste by the decomposer organisms. Warm air naturally rises upwards and outwards of the composting mass. As nature abhors vacuum, the warm air is replaced by cooler air mostly from or through other parts of the compost, setting up a mostly internal circulation until the air is almost uniformly warm and oxygen-deficient thus creating anaerobic pockets that generate malodours.

OBS

Generally, material to be composted is collected and promptly piled into windrows which remain untouched.

OBS

Materials can be added as they become available, or stockpiled until sufficient amounts are available to make a good sized pile or windrow.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Techniques agricoles
  • Fumure et amélioration du sol

Subject field(s)
  • Synthetic Fabrics
  • Textiles: Preparation and Processing
  • Man-Made Construction Materials
DEF

The process of stabilizing the structure and shape of fibers or fabrics by applying heat.

CONT

Preshrinking of cotton or "heat setting" of synthetics may be necessary for dimensional stability. The effectiveness of heat setting depends on the original stabilization temperature used. If the synthetic fabric is later exposed to a significantly greater temperature, dimensional change can occur.

OBS

thermosetting: having the property of becoming permanently hard and rigid when heated or cured: capable of changing from a plastic or fusible state to an infusible or insoluble state by a chemical reaction affected by heat or other means and leading to a complex high polymer.

Key term(s)

Traitement thermique effectué généralement sur rame, provoquant un retrait et une stabilisation dimensionnelle définitive des tissus.

CONT

[La thermofixation] confère une stabilité dimensionnelle, à un tissu synthétique ou mélange, tout en lui apportant certaines propriétés telles qu'une résistance accrue aux plis et une meilleure résilience sous une charge ou une température élevée, cette fixation est appliquée par le biais d'une chaleur humide ou sèche.

CONT

Cellulose triacetate, generally known by the trade name Arnel, is a heat-treated form of acetate that has greater heat resistance than normal acetate, is faster drying, and can be permanently pleated by heat setting.

CONT

Cellulose Triacetate Films (CTA) are noted for the wide range and versatility of their chemical and physical properties which make them a preferred choice of material in a wide range of industrial applications. CTA must be processed into film in a solution, due to its very high softening temperature that cannot be significantly reduced by added plasticizers.

L'hydratation désigne deux processus chimiques différents. Le premier correspond à l'insertion d'une ou plusieurs molécules d'eau dans un cristal, sans modification de l'espèce chimique contenue dans le cristal. C'est le cas de la transformation du plâtre (2SO4Ca, 1H2O) en gypse (2SO4Ca, 4H2O), qui constitue la prise du plâtre. Le dégagement de chaleur est assez limité. Le deuxième processus est une vraie réaction, transformant l'espèce chimique qui subit l'hydratation en une autre espèce, et se fait avec un fort dégagement de chaleur.

  • Gas and Oil Heating
CONT

Triple aquastat relays... are normally used on heating boilers with a tankless domestic hot water heating coil. These controls perform three functions : high limit protection with low limit and circulator control. The low limit circulator control cycles the burner on and off, maintaining minimum water temperature for domestic hot water. The circulator control prevents the circulator from operating when boiler water temperature is too low to satisfy both domestic water and heating needs. When the thermostat calls for heat, the triple aquastat operates the burner and, if the water temperature is above the low limit setting, it also activates the circulator.
