El éxito en las uniones depende de una combinación de múltiples factores, tales como mecánicos, químicos o electrostáticos. La unión es una cuestión de interfaz, ya que el adhesivo tiene que adherirse bien a los sustratos a unir. Por lo tanto, las condiciones de la superficie de las piezas a unir son un factor esencial en el logro de una unión de calidad.
Los Adhesivos industriales Huntsman son adhesivos de alto rendimiento que se adhieren firmemente a la mayoría de los materiales.
Se pueden obtener altas tasas de resistencia después de la eliminación de grasa y partículas sueltas, por ejemplo, óxido, de las superficies a unir.
Sin embargo, cuando se requiere la máxima resistencia y durabilidad a largo plazo. Se recomienda encarecidamente un pretratamiento superficial.
El tipo de preparación de la superficie se lleve a cabo antes de la unión depende de las prestaciones previstas (Figuras 18, 19 y 20), las condiciones de servicio de la unión y consideraciones económicas (relación costes / beneficios).

This document discusses the implementation of the European Central Bank's Public Sector Purchase Programme (PSPP) and its impact on bond markets. Some key points:
- Over €5 trillion in bonds globally are trading at negative yields, with over €9 trillion in G7 countries' bonds at negative rates.

The Internet is a global network of interconnected computer networks that use common communication standards to share information. It connects websites, which can be located by their domain name, like www.google.com, or IP address, like 123.23.234.45. Domain names make addresses easier for people to remember than strings of numbers. Information is transmitted on the Internet in packets, which are broken into parts and sent independently, through a process known as packet switching. Routers help direct data traffic by communicating available routes and connecting to other routers, some operating automatically through dynamic routing.

Hi Simon, thanks for sharing your experience. It's understandable to feel uncomfortable opening up, especially at first. Counselling does require vulnerability, but a good counsellor aims to make the process as comfortable as possible. Perhaps explain your concerns to the counsellor - their role is to help you, not judge you. With time and trust, counselling can provide relief. But there are also self-help options like journaling, exercise or support groups. Take care of yourself - you don't have to go through this alone.

2017 Major Gifts Fundraising Benchmark Study 2017. Association of Philanthrop...Dominique Gross
The document is a study that benchmarks major gifts fundraising among nonprofits. It finds that the most common minimum for a "major gift" is $1,000-2,499. Larger nonprofits and those in arts/education set higher minimums. About 4 in 10 nonprofits consistently use processes to identify prospects, and these nonprofits are more likely to meet fundraising goals. The most used identification methods are staff knowledge, donor records, and prospect research. Methods most associated with meeting goals are analyzing donor records, tracking digital engagement, prospect research, and donor referrals. The top challenges are lack of staff/time, board involvement, and identifying gift opportunities.
