Why Do Nocolok Flux And Polymer Resins Find Such Widespread Industrial Use?

Polymer, as a product has various applications directly or indirectly in our daily lives. It is a component which can be found either in large quantities or in traces, in almost everything from bottles, the rod used in construction sites, to the plates we use to have our food.

Polymer resins or better known as synthetic resins, is a chemical which has many uses. They are formed by polyadditive, polycondensing or polymerization reactions. It is a viscous liquid product which hardens to eventually form a thick and durable coating, which is used as an adhesive. It also gives a glossy look.

Thus the chemical has two parts - liquid plastic resin and liquid catalyst. The catalyst activates the resin which then forms the hard coating. Usually the two parts are mixed in equal proportion. While mixing, it is natural for the resin to heat up because of the reaction. Once mixed, it can then be poured over the surface for the purpose of coating. In the liquid form, it is self levelling.

After the resin is poured, it starts to cure. Curing refers to the chemical reaction in the resin that converts its state from liquid to solid form. If bubbles form during the process, it can be removed with the application of heat.

The time taken for full curing of the resin depends on the brand. It generally takes around 48 to 72 hours. Ensure that dust does not fall on the resin in its liquid form or else it will mar the look. If the resin is used in a small area, touching it in any way is not advisable to avoid fingerprint impressions.

After curing, it can be cleaned with a damp cloth with some mild soap. Abrasives and other harsh chemicals should not be used as it can damage the surface. If there is scratch on the resin it can be fixed with the help of friction.

There are different types of synthetic resins. The classic one however, is the epoxy resin. To hold display objects in a transparent block, methyl methacrylate resins are used. Acetal resin, ion exchange resins, AT-10 resin, melamine resin and solvent impregnated resins are among the other types.

Some speciality polymer resins are:

• Tie Layer resin
• Polyolefins in organoleptic implementation
• Modified polyolefins
• MDPE/ HDPE pressure pipes
• PE for high or medium tension wires and cables
• Matting compounds.
• Barrier Resins

Other than polymers, Nocolok flux is another chemical which is widely used in the automobile and other industries, for brazing aluminium. It is a mixture of potassium fluoroaluminate. The brazed products include many aluminium heat exchangers such as oil coolers, heat sinks, air conditioning systems and radiators.

Industries which use this type of chemical are:

• Automotive and automobile industries
• Pots and pans industries
• HVAC or commercial or residential air conditioning industries.

Nocolox flux has wide use in induction, flame and tunnel furnace brazing. Nocolox is preferred as it eliminates the process of flux residue removal after brazing. This saves money and is also environmental friendly. Its main purpose is to remove the oxide film formed on the metal surface and promote filler metal wetting and flow.
