Homemade – Solar power plants
Already with the current efficiency of approx. 10%, solar power plant located in the desert and covering an area 300 — 1000 km2 (ok. 1/3 the territory of Egypt) would be able to produce energy equal to this, which the whole world consumes, and the solar cell has a surface 30 m2, …
Acrylic resins and varnishes
In what coating materials painters and varnishers use acrylic resins as binders?
Painters and varnishers use acrylic resins as binders in plaster primers, in dispersion paints, paints drying by evaporation of the thinner, in two-component fillers, varnishes and paints. Too …
Efficiency of solar collectors
The efficiency of solar collectors depends on the temperature of the working medium.
The efficiency of flat plate collectors decreases with increasing temperature of the working medium, therefore, more than one should not be connected in series.
The number of series-connected Collectors depends on this, what temperature of the medium we want …

Polymer resins and varnishes
Polymer resins and varnishes
What are polymer resins?
The resins are named after the reactions leading to their production: polymerization, polycondensation and polyaddition. Thus, polymer resins are produced by the polymerization method. In this chemical reaction, small monomers bind into macromolecules (giant particles) …

What hardeners are most suitable for epoxy varnishes?
Polyamines are primarily used as hardeners for epoxy resin varnishes, polyamides and polyisocyanates. However, only such a hardener may be used, which the varnish producer requires. Only this one …
Solvent classes
To which fire hazard class do the following solvents belong:
a) Spirytus należy do klasy zagrożenia pożarowego B, because it is soluble in water, and its flash point is below 294 K (21°C).
b) Turpentine is insoluble in water and has temperature …
Universal thinners
Please explain, why the so-called. Universal thinners can dilute a wide variety of binders
The dissolving power of a solvent depends on the intermolecular forces in the solvent and the binder being dissolved. Both individual groups of solvents, and different binders have very different intermolecular forces. Universal thinners include …
