cure mechanism
also called cure · cure type · how it sets
WHAT MAKES THE PRODUCT GO HARD - shutting out air, atmospheric moisture, mixing two parts, heat, ultraviolet light, a solvent leaving, or simply cooling from a melt. Published as its own field by every house read at the mint: Henkel's `Cure` and `Secondary Cure`, Sika's `Cure mechanism`, Permatex's cure paragraph. IT IS NOT DERIVABLE FROM THE CHEMISTRY AND THE PROOF IS TWO PAIRS OF REAL PRODUCTS [A13]. Across a family: LOCTITE 243 and LOCTITE AA 3491 are both published `Technology: Acrylic`, and their cures are `Anaerobic` and `Ultraviolet (UV) light`. Within a single narrow chemistry: LOCTITE 401 and LOCTITE 3090 are both `Chemical Type: Ethyl cyanoacrylate`, and their cures are `Humidity` and `Two component cure after mixing`. Same chemistry, opposite mechanism, twice over - so it is STORED, not read [A17]. Cardinality many, because Henkel gives a secondary cure its own field and LOCTITE 243 answers both, anaerobic and activator. Note the vocabulary deliberately collapses three trade words into one `moisture` value - RTV, Humidity and Moisture-curing are three houses' names for reacting with water vapour - because they are labels on one mechanism [L10] and storing them apart would have made a silicone and a superglue look unrelated. Concern measurement, the filing `sealing_mode`, `seat_configuration` and `interference_suppression` already carry.
Cure mechanism is answered with one word chosen from the cure mechanisms list — the same word shared across every product that uses it.
It belongs to measurement — its measurable, physical facts.
asked by the kinds that answer it
1 kind answers it, each for any number of values. The same question can be reused by unrelated kinds — one meaning, many homes.
