Rapid Prototyping involved creating a working model of various parts of the system at a very early stage, after a relatively short investigation. The method used in building it is usually quite informal, the most important factor being the speed with which the model is provided.
There are water-and solvent-based -- also called oil-based -- polyurethane varnishes. Water-based polyurethanes are more environmentally friendly and safer to use than solvent-based, but they are not as resistant to wear and tear as solvent-based products.
The dissolution of natural and synthetic rubber to produce. a solvent-based rubber solution is a requirement for a variety. of industrial applications such as: â¢ Rubber-based adhesives and sealants. â¢ Printing blankets. â¢ Automotive air bags. Many types of elastomers are used including: â¢ Neoprene.
