The time necessary for the adhesive or sealant to dry or completely set.
The time for fresh concrete to reach its design strength. Typically concrete will reach 90 percent of design strength about 30 days after placing and gradually approach 100 percent over time. A recent development is HES or High Early Strength concrete. Chemical additives like HES make it possible to use certain concrete structures after only a few hours of curing.
The length of time required for sufficient reaction completion to develop a desired level of polymer strength and dimensional stability and to attain ultimate physical properties.
The time for reacting thermosetting plastic or rubber composition to reach certain properties. For materials which react under the conditions of mixing, the start of reaction is the time of initial exposure to the conditions necessary for reaction to occur.
The time needed for liquid resin to reach a solid state after the catalyst has been added, and initiation has progressed.
The time required for a chemical or material to dry or set at a given temperature and humidity. Cure time varies with the type of material used and the thickness of the application.
The time required to convert the silicone sealant to cured rubber. Example: 24 hours for 1/8" diameter bead at 77° F and 50% relative humidity.
The measurement of time when a mold remains fully closed under pressure to permit either a chemical reaction to take place in thermoset molding or solidification of the plastic in thermoplastic molding.
the time required to produce vulcanization at a given tem perature.
The time which is necessary for the elastomer to finish cross-linking and become a stable compound. Related to demolding time
The time required to produce vulcanization of hydration at a given temperature. The cure time varies widely, being dependent on the type of compounding used, the thickness of the product, etc.
The time required for the liquid resin to reach a cured or fully polymerized state after the catalyst has been added.
The time required to complete the cure process.
Time required to effect a complete cure at a given temperature.
The period of time during which a system may be subjected to heat or pressure to cure. In two-component systems, it is the time lapse between the addition of the curing agent (hardener) to the resin, and completed polymerization.
Cure time is the time that it takes for the finish to develop all of its protective properties, including hardness, UV resistance and water resistance. Cure times are longer than drying time and depend on temperature, humidity, thickness of coating and the type of coating.
the time required to effect curing. The time required for a material to reach its desirable long-term physical characteristics.
The period of time that a reacting thermosetting material is exposed to specific conditions to reach a specific property level.
