Title: Repackaging halthane 73-18. Period covered: January--March 1977

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7303058· OSTI ID:7303058

Like other urethanes, the Halthanes are susceptible to reaction with moisture. The curing agents absorb atmospheric moisture and form inferior products when later reacted with the prepolymer; thus, precautions must be taken to protect all components from moisture prior to use. This endeavor was undertaken to determine if Halthane 73-18 adhesive could be repackaged into preweighed kits for WR usage without utilizing an inert atmosphere (1 percent RH or less) during the repackaging operation.
