Abstract: A test device of universal nail/screw holding power is provided. The device is capable of penetrating a nail/screw into a test piece at any angle and positioning the test piece on which a nail/screw is penetrated at any angle to test the nail/screw holding power. The device includes a base, two opposite supporting plates, two coaxial disks, an upper bearing plate, a lower bearing plate, a side bearing plate, a through groove, a trapezoid slot, and a plurality of trapezoid bolts on the same circumference. When the disk is turned, at least one trapezoid bolt is inserted into the trapezoid slot; when the at least one trapezoid bolt engages with the trapezoid slot and then is tightened up, the at least one trapezoid bolt and the trapezoid slot cooperatively limit the turn of the disk.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a process for preparing a shelf-stable, one-pack, silane modified (meth)acrylic latex interpolymer composition, wherein the process comprises continuously adding at least a portion of a mixture comprising at least 0.5 mole percent of a vinyl silane comprising hydrolyzable groups and up to 99.5 mole percent of a (meth)acrylic monomer to water and a surfactant in a reaction vessel, wherein said addition is carried out in the presence of a polymerization initiator and buffer sufficient to maintain the pH of the reaction at a level of at least 6 throughout the reaction, while simultaneously hydrolyzing from about 10 to about 60% of the hydrolyzable groups of the vinyl silane.
