Dalian Haixin-Polyurethane sealant quality is unstable, the cause of bubbles during use and the defoaming method of molecular sieve activation powder
2024-08-06
The bubbles in polyurethane sealant during use may be caused by multiple factors. The following are some common reasons and information about the defoaming method of molecular sieve activation powder: 1. Reasons for bubbles in polyurethane sealant - Moisture in raw materials: Polyurethane sealant is very sensitive to moisture. Trace moisture in raw materials may cause the sealant to produce carbon dioxide gas during the curing process, thereby forming bubbles. - Uneven stirring: During production and use, if the stirring is uneven, air may be introduced into the sealant, forming bubbles. - Excessive humidity in the environment: When using polyurethane sealant in a high humidity environment, the moisture in the environment will react with the sealant, resulting in the generation of bubbles. - Uneven curing speed: If the curing speed of the sealant is uneven, it may cause the internal gas to fail to escape in time, thereby forming bubbles. 2. Defoaming method of molecular sieve activation powder Molecular sieve is a material with a highly porous structure that can absorb moisture and other small molecules. Therefore, molecular sieve activation powder is often used to absorb moisture in polyurethane sealant and reduce the formation of bubbles. - Usage: Add molecular sieve activation powder to polyurethane sealant, usually before the sealant is mixed. The hygroscopic capacity of molecular sieves can reduce the moisture in the raw materials, thereby reducing the risk of bubbles. - Choose the right type of molecular sieve: Different types of molecular sieves have different pore sizes and adsorption characteristics. For polyurethane sealants, 3A or 4A molecular sieves are generally used, which can effectively absorb moisture without negatively affecting the chemical properties of the sealant. - Control of the amount of added: The amount of molecular sieve added should be optimized according to the sealant formula. Too much molecular sieve may affect the fluidi
