Development of Improved Core Splice Adhesives

Abstract

A total of 16 test methods and associated target property values were selected and devised for determining the mechanical, physical, and handling characteristics of a 350 degree F service core splice adhesive. These were coordinated with knowledgeable people in the industry and subsequently used in the screening and characterization of various formulations. Approximately 90 materials were compounded by the formulator, of which 16 were screened for expansion ratio, slump, peak exotherm, volatile content, and uncured weight per square foot. Three of the most promising adhesives, identified as ADX-814, ADX- 814.1, and ADX-815, were subject to all of the remaining tests to characterize them fully. All pertinent test procedures and data are included in this report.
