What is polyether line made of?

Polyether is just that - a string of many (poly) ether molecules, or two carbon atoms and an oxygen atom (C-C-O-C-C-O-C-C-O-etc). This family of substances are called polymers. All plastics are polymers, though the individual pieces that make them differ depending on the type.

Is nitrile rubber suitable for Polyether?

Nitrile rubber gloves are suitable for working with Polyether. Polyether is an application that the textile industry uses to enhance the resistance of fabric to the elements and friction. Evidently, no nitrile gloves will withstand a complete immersion into the chemical for an indefinite period of time. So, eventually the glove will fail. Just remember that the gloves were designed as protection against an occasional splash or spill, not for immersion in a strong chemical solvent. Nitrile gloves are used mostly in the the medical field by professionals because they are resistant to many chemicals that they may come in contact with day to day. The gloves are fairly inexpensive and are disposable. http://www.twinmeddirect.com/gloves_nitrile.html">nitrile

What is HTP plastic?

HTP means High Temperature Plastics (or Polymers). These are plastics that withstand high temperatures while retaining desirable chemical and/or mechanical properties. Surely the most familiar HTP is Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene), which is one of a series of "fluoropolymer" HTPs. Other examples, among many, are Polyetherimide (PEI) and Polyether ether ketone(PEEK). Teflon, remarkably, is nearly unaffected by brief exposure to temperatures up to about 260C/500F, and tolerates up to 200C/392F almost indefinitely.

What is caulking gun?

Caulking is a term used to describe several different process to seal joints or seams in various structures and certain types of piping. The oldest form of caulking is used to make the seams in wooden boats or ships watertight, by driving fiberous materials into the wedge-shaped seams between planks. A related process was formerly employed to join sections of cast iron sewerage pipe. Caulk (calk) can refer either to the caulking substance or to the process of applying it. Caulking as a term has spread to the building trade, meaning the activity of closing up joints and gaps in buildings. The function of caulking is to provide thermal insulation, control water penetration and noise mitigation. This is mostly done with ready-mixed construction chemicals sold as caulk such as silicone, polyurethane, polysulfide, sylil-terminated-polyether or polyurethane and acrylic sealant.
