Technical Tip – Degassing Adhesive Products

Today’s #TechnicalTips is from @Henkel, and it is all about Degassing Adhesive products.

Sometimes undesirable gasses get trapped when using polyurethane/epoxy materials. As such the process of degassing is needed to remove them. Check out the article here where you can find out about how the process works and more specifically the affect of not degassing adhesives.

Technical Tips – Surface vs Volume Resistivity

Today we bring you a Technical Tips on how to measure resistance of materials.

There are two main methods used to calculate resistance of elastomeric materials, a pressure probe or a surface probe (in this case a CHO-PROBE). With the use of these probes different methods can be used to calculate the Volume resistivity,

Check out the full tech tips from Parker Chomerics below to get a better grasp on the topic!
