processing temperature
The processing temperature is an important factor in the processing/use of adhesives. It influences the curing speed and affects the properties of the cured adhesive, such as strength, elasticity and hardness.
Depending on the type of adhesive and the processing method, the processing temperature can vary. Some adhesives require a medium/comfortable processing temperature, while others can be processed at lower temperatures.
An example of the importance of the processing temperature is the faster reaction when the temperature is increased, e.g. with epoxy adhesives. If the temperature is too high, the material may burn or change its chemical properties, also resulting in an inferior product.
Overall, the processing temperature is an important factor in the processing/use of adhesives. Controlling the processing temperature is critical to achieve the desired properties of the cured adhesive and to ensure the quality of the adhesive.
