Neoprene Rubbers (Polychloroprene, Chloroprene). These are some of the best general-purpose syntheticrubbers. They have excellent resistance to weather aging, moderate resistance to oils, and good resistanceto refrigerants and mild acids. Shore hardness: 40 to 95. Temperature range: –40 to 115°C.

Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene Rubbers (CSM). These have poor mechanical properties but good resis-tance to acids and heat with complete resistance to ozone. They are used in chemical plants, tank linings,and high-voltage insulation. Shore hardness: 45 to 100. Temperature range: –100 to 93°C.

Ethylene Propylene Rubbers (EP, FPM). These specialized rubbers are especially resistant to weatheraging heat, many solvents, steam, hot water, dilute acids and alkalis, and ketones, but not petrol or mineraloils. They are used for conveyor belts, limited automotive applications, silicone fluid systems, andelectrical insulation. Shore hardness: 40 to 90. Temperature hardness: –50 to 177°C.

Fluorocarbon Rubbers. These comprise a wide range of rubbers with excellent resistance to chemicalattack, heat, acids, fuels, oils, aromatic compounds, etc. They have a high service temperature. They areparticularly suitable for vacuum applications. Shore hardness: 60 to 90. Temperature hardness: –23 to260°C.

Isoprenes (Polyisoprene, IR). These are chemically the same as natural rubber but are more costly. Theproperties and applications are similar to those of natural rubber. Shore hardness: 40 to 80. Temperaturehardness: –50 to 82°C.

Polyacrylic Rubbers (ACM, ABR). This is a group of rubbers with properties midway between nitrileand fluorocarbon rubbers with excellent resistance to mineral oils, hypoid oils, and greases and goodresistance to hot air and aging. The mechanical strength is low. They are often used for spark plug sealsand transmission seals. Shore hardness: 40 to 90. Temperature hardness: –30 to 177°C.

Polysulfide Rubbers. These have poor physical properties and heat resistance, but good resistance tooils, solvents, and weathering and are impermeable to gases and moisture. They are used for caulkingand sealing compounds and as a casting material. Shore hardness: 40 to 85. Temperature hardness: –50to 121°C.

Polyurethane Rubbers. These have exceptional strength and tear and abrasion resistance (the best of allrubbers), low-temperature flexibility, and good resistance to fuels, hydrocarbons, ozone, and weather.Resistance to solutions of acids and alkalis, hot water, steam, glycol, and ketones is poor. They are usedfor wear-resistant applications such as floor coverings. Shore hardness: 35 to 100. Temperature hardness:–53 to 115°C.

Silicone Rubbers (SI). These have exceptionally high service-temperature ranges, but the mechanicalproperties and chemical resistance are poor. They cannot be used in applications which expose them tofuels, light mineral oils, or high-pressure steam. They are used for high- and low-temperature seals, high-temperature rotary seals, cable insulation, hydraulic seals, and aircraft door and canopy seals. Shorehardness: 30 to 90. Temperature hardness: –116 to 315°C (380°C for intermittent use).

Fluorosilicone Rubbers. These are similar to silicone rubbers but have better oil resistance and a lowertemperature range. Shore hardness: 40 to 80. Temperature hardness: –64 to 204°C.

12.3 Adhesives

Richard L. Lehman

Introduction

Adhesives are substances capable of holding materials together in a useful manner by surface attachment.The principal attribute of adhesives is their ability to form strong bonds with surfaces of a wide rangeof materials and to retain bond strength under expected use conditions. Although most adhesives do nothave excellent bulk properties and it is therefore important to keep adhesive films thin, some materialssuch as epoxies have bulk properties which qualify them as engineering materials and thus can be usedin multifunctional applications.

Advantages and Limitations of Use

The principal advantages of adhesives are their ability to bond similar to dissimilar materials of differentthickness; to enable the fabrication of complex shapes not feasible by other fastening means; to smoothexternal joint surfaces; to permit economic and rapid assembly; to distribute stresses uniformly overjoined interfaces, to provide weight reduction in critical structures via the elimination of fasteners; todampen vibrations; to prevent or reduce galvanic corrosion; and to provide thermal and electricalinsulation.

The limitations of adhesives depend on the specific adhesive and application and may include thenecessity of surface preparation, long curing times, service-temperature limitations, loss of propertiesduring service, toxicity of flammability during assembly or use, and the tendency of many adhesives tocreep under sustained load.

Classes of Adhesives

Thermoplastic adhesives are a general class of adhesives based upon long-chained polymeric structure,and are capable of being softened by the application of heat with subsequent hardening upon cooling(hot-melt adhesives). The softening process if reversible for numerous cycles, which facilitates assemblyand disassembly of structures. Thermosetting adhesives are a general class of adhesives based upon cross-linked polymeric structures which develop strong bonds that cannot be reversibly broken once they areformed. Thus, the thermoset adhesives are incapable of being softened once solidified.

Thermoplastic and thermosetting adhesives are cured, a process often referred to as setting, by poly-merization or solidification, by heat, catalysis, chemical reaction, free-radical activity, radiation, evapo-ration of solvent, or another process as governed by the chemical nature of the particular adhesive.

Elastomers are a special class of thermoplastic adhesive possessing the common quality of substantialflexibility or elasticity. Refer to Section 12.2 on polymers.

Anaerobic adhesives are a special class of thermoplastic adhesive, the polyacrylates, that set only inthe absence of air (oxygen). The two basic types are (1) machinery — possessing shear strength only and(2) structural — possessing both tensile and shear strength.

Pressure-sensitive adhesives are permanently and aggressively tacky solids which form immediatebonds when two parts are brought together under pressure. They are available as films and tapes as wellas hot-melt systems.

Performance of Adhesives

To obtain optimum mechanical performance of an adhesive, it is critical to select the proper compoundfor the target application. Table 12.3.1 illustrates compatibility of adhesives and five broad classes ofcommon materials. Generally, for good adhesive bonds the chemistry of the adhesive must match or besimilar to the surface energy, polarity, and/or chemistry of the material being bonded. The elastic modulusof the adhesive should not be greater than the bonded material.

Adhesives are used in two classes of application, those requiring only shear strength and those requiringstructural properties, often tensile and shear strength. Table 12.3.2 provides a quick reference for sometypical applications. A much more detailed summary and classification of adhesives is given in Table12.3.3.

Table 12.3.3 presents a sample of a number of adhesives (with practical information) that are availablefrom various sources. The table is adapted from the rather extensive one found in J. Shields, AdhesivesHandbook, CRC Press, Boca Raton, FL, 1970. For other extensive lists of trade sources, the reader isreferred to Charles V. Cagle, Ed., Handbook of Adhesive Bonding, McGraw-Hill, New York, 1972, andLerner et al., Adhesives Red Book, Palmerton Publishing Co., New York, 1968.

Thread locking • Anaerobic acrylicHub mounting • Anaerobic acrylic — compatible materials or flow migration unimportant

• Modified acrylic — large gaps or migration must be avoided• Epoxy — maximum strength at high temperatures

Bearing mounting • Anaerobic acrylic — compatible materials necessary and flow into bearing area to be prevented

• Modified acrylic — for lowest costStructural joining • Epoxies and modified epoxies — for maximum strength (highest cost)

• Acrylics — anaerobic or modified cyanacrylatesGasketing • Silicones — primarily anaerobic
