I'm doing some research on using Propylene Glycol with another industrial solvent (both waterborne). Ive been comparing resistance of different combos of both to use as an external antistatic on TPO... these chemicals are being applied through a flame in hopes to deposit a positive polarity...
What is the common agent used for antistat in TPO materials? Is it used in compound or reactor grades? If I want to apply a surface antistat... will propylene glycol, with a little manipulation be effective?
Does anyone have any idea what the market size of the carbon fiber industry is? I'm looking for mainly finished CF parts, but raw CF manufacturing info is also appreciated.
We are using a surface treatment system in which the end result is the polarization of the surface of PP and other TPO materials. Is there a way to show visually that the surface is now polar?
I was asked to come up with a crude impact tester to test the failures of painted surfaces based on different impacts. Heres what I've got: basic pendulum with hammer type head; weighing 2.2lbs (with pendulum; 5.5ft) attached by hinges to a crossbar, with an angleometer at the pivot point...
