  2. EPDM rubber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPDM_rubber

    EPDM seals can be a source of squeaking noise due to the movement of the seal against the opposing surface (and its attendant friction). The noise can be alleviated using specialty coatings that are applied at the time of manufacture of the seal. Such coatings can also improve the chemical resistance of EPDM rubber.

  3. RTV silicone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTV_silicone

    If making a brush-on rubber mold, the curing time factor between coats is long (longer than urethanes or polysulfides, shorter than latex). Silicone components (A+B) must be mixed accurately by weight (scale required) or else they do not work. Tin-catalyst silicone shrinks somewhat and does not have a long shelf life.

  4. Polyamide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyamide

    The resulting polyamides are known as proteins or polypeptides. In the diagram below, consider the amino-acids as single aliphatic monomers reacting with identical molecules to form a polyamide, focusing on solely the amine and acid groups. Ignore the substituent R groups – under the assumption the difference between the R groups are negligible:

  5. Nylon 12 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nylon_12

    Nylon 12 has a broad range of applications as polyamide additives. Nylon 12 is mainly used for films for packing material in the food industry and sterilized films and bags for use in the pharmaceutical and medical fields. When added to polyethylene films, it improves water vapor permeability and aroma impermeability.

  6. Sealant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealant

    Sealant is a substance used to block the passage of fluids through openings in materials, [1] a type of mechanical seal. In building construction sealant is sometimes synonymous with caulk (especially if acrylic latex or polyurethane based) [2] and also serve the purposes of blocking dust, sound and heat transmission. Sealants may be weak or ...

  7. Surfactants in paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfactants_in_paint

    When fluorocarbons are incorporated into surfactants they are used as stain repellents and incorporated into coatings in order to decrease surface defects. Silicon - Oxygen bonds resist chain breakdown from hydrolysis and will prevent cracking in paints. Siloxane chains consist of a backbone which contains alternating oxygen and silicon atoms ...

  8. Acrylate polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylate_polymer

    Polyacrylate emulsion, water-borne coating, are used as binder for outdoor and indoor "latex" house paints.; Acrylic paints as artist paints.; Acrylic fibre.; Sodium polyacrylate water-soluble thickeners, a polymer for the production of the Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) used in disposable diapers due to its high absorbency per unit mass.

  9. Butyl rubber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butyl_rubber

    Butyl rubber sealant is used for damp proofing, rubber roof repair and for maintenance of roof membranes (especially around the edges). It is important [ citation needed ] to have the roof membrane fixed, as a lot of fixtures (e.g., air conditioner vents, plumbing, and other pipes) can considerably loosen it.
