MRCA/RCAT Conference Session Highlight

Low Rise Foam Session Highlight

Presented by: Jeffery Plumridge and Rich Koziol

The MRCA T&R Committee's objective for this testing and research project was to determine: What effect do shelf life and application temperature have on the tensile strength of low-rise foam adhesives?

• A test program focused on both physical and chemical test methods was developed to answer that question.

• The testing program included a comparison of two cartridge dispensed adhesive materials categorized into before and after expiration dates printed on the cartridges.

• Testing the adhesive in direct tension using aluminum pucks to measure the tensile strengths.

• Studying and testing the foam adhesive in liquid and cured states to evaluate and measure the chemical reactions and cellular formation of the polyurethane foam adhesive.
