Resin cure shrinkage stress measuring device
JIS Standards JIS K 6941 Enactment
We have established JIS measuring standards using our product Custron (resin curing shrinkage rate measuring device).
“Continuous measurement method of shrinkage ratio of JIS K6941 UV curable resin and thermosetting resin”
Features
Continuous measurement of all processes before → during → after reaction
UV curing resin · thermosetting resin ·
Continuous measurement of cure shrinkage and shrinkage stress associated with curing of epoxy resin, UV adhesive, UV ink, coating, wax, etc.
Heat cycle measurement
It is possible to freely set the thermal profile of temperature rise and fall temperature such as UV irradiation → heating → cooling by program (normal temperature to 180 ° C)Reproduction of the environment
Reproduction of the environment
Reproduces the rate of shrinkage and shrinkage stress that a product placed in various environments receives during the product manufacturing process or when it is exposed to various heat during long-term aging
Temperature change of resin surface can be measured
Sample amount is small (1 cc) and OK
No need for special measurement techniques
About optional items
Types that allow temperature setting from -50 ° C to 150 ° C · Types that allow temperature setting from room temperature to 300 ° C · Nitrogen purge · Sample temperature measurement function.

※ It may not be able to interlock by irradiation equipment.
Temperature Profile
Contraction model of thermosetting resin
The liquid state A at normal temperature is heated and reacted at the curing temperature B, and the point at which the reaction is terminated is C.
The sample is allowed to cool from C to reach D (the glass transition temperature Tg of the cure system) before reaching room temperature E and the cycle is complete.
The shrinkage due to the curing reaction occurs between B and C, and the shrinkage due to cooling after curing is represented by C-D-E. However, since D corresponds to the Tg of this system, the contraction in the glassy region (<Tg) corresponds to DE, and the contraction in the rubbery region (> Tg) occurs between C and D .
The contraction between A and E is called total contraction, and the contraction between B and E is called maximum contraction. The shrinkage rate of a conventional thermosetting epoxy resin is to be measured between the points A and E.
