Triallyl Isocyanurate Storage Freezing Prevention
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Triallyl isocyanurate (TAIC) tends to freeze and solidify during winter storage, leading to prolonged melting times and increased viscosity, which complicates handling and usage as a sealing material in electronic applications.
Innovation Solution
Adding a silane coupling agent to TAIC before storage lowers its melting point, preventing freezing and solidification, thus maintaining a lower viscosity and improving handling properties without the need for heating and melting procedures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of stationary object
If TAIC is stored in a relatively large container during winter season, then storage capacity is improved, but melting time is considerably prolonged
Solution Approach 1:
The silane coupling agent is added to TAIC before storage to preemptively lower the melting point. This preliminary chemical modification ensures that when TAIC is stored in large containers during winter, it remains easier to melt and process, resolving the contradiction between large storage capacity and prolonged melting time.
2Use of energy by moving object
If treating temperature of TAIC is lowered, then energy consumption is reduced, but viscosity is rapidly increased
Solution Approach 1:
The melting point parameter of TAIC is changed by adding a silane coupling agent. This parameter change allows TAIC to be processed at lower temperatures without experiencing rapid viscosity increase, thus reducing energy consumption while maintaining handling properties.
3Device complexity
If TAIC is stored without adding silane coupling agent, then storage simplicity is maintained, but freezing and solidification occur during winter
Solution Approach 1:
The silane coupling agent acts as an intermediary substance that modifies TAIC's physical properties. When added before storage, it prevents freezing and solidification during winter while maintaining storage simplicity, thus resolving the contradiction between storage simplicity and storage stability.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Prevents freezing and solidification of TAIC during winter storage, allowing for easier handling and usage as a sealing material in electronic applications, with improved viscosity and reduced processing requirements.
Implementation Method 1
when a silane coupling agent to be added as a wettability improver upon use is previously added to TAIC when stored prior to the use, the melting point of TAIC is lowered so that TAIC is prevented from suffering from freezing and solidification during the storage in the winter season
