The period of time a reacting composition remains suitable for its intended processing after mixing with reaction-initiating agents
Length of time in which a catalyzed thermosetting resin retains sufficiently low viscosity for processing
Generally defined as the time from mixing till the material has "gone off' in the container NB: This will differ from the applied material
The length of time a catalyzed thermosetting resin system retains a viscosity low enough for it to be suitable for processing
The length of time a mixed adhesive remains workable (flowable) before hardening
The length of time a paint material is useful after its original package is opened or a catalyst or other curing agent is added
period of time within which the coating can be applied, after the blending operation, before polymerization causes a viscosity increase which makes application impossible It is strongly affected by temperature (it decreases as temperature increases)
The time in which a paint is sprayable after mixing This usually refers to paint that has been mixed with a catalyst or activator This time can vary from a few minutes to several hours depending on the chemicals and the ambient temperature
The time it takes for a formulation to harden once two parts of an epoxy are mixed together The time depends on temperature, volume, and quantity of the mixture
The period of time during which a reacting polymeric compound remains suitable for its intended use after having been mixed with a reaction-initiating agent
The period of time, after mixing or the application of heat, that the material remains useable (pourable) in the particular application
The length of time during storage of an ink, emulsion, etc in a specific container under normal conditions without changing chemically and affecting usefulness
The useful life of a coating after mixing, Usually refers to paints which are mixed with a curing agent just before application Pot life may vary from minutes to hours, depending on the chemicals involved
The length of time an ink or emulsion can be stored in a specific container under normal conditions without changing chemically or affecting usefulness
The period of time during which a reacting thermosetting composition remains suitable for its intended processing after mixing with a reaction initiating agent
The amount of time a mixed material may be easily used at a specific temperature It Is usually measured as the time it takes for a material to double in viscosity
