The Halthane series of urethane adhesives synthesized by Lawrence Livermore Laboratory are being studied for application to Pantex assembly processes. The series consists of three each two-part systems designated 73-14, 73-18, and 87-1. The 73-18 system to be used was chosen as the first of the three for physical property testing. Each system has certain advantages, and is designed for a specific application. Systems 73-14 and 73-18 have a lower viscosity than 87-1. System 73-18 has a lower tensile and compressive modulus than 73-14 and 87-1. The increasing order of pot life would rank 73-18, 87-1, and 73-14. All three systems reach two-third hardness in 16 hours.
