Fig. 3: Electron microscopy(SEM) and textural interpretation c) Efficiency of the materials (water and Arbocel®) in each type of poultice The composition of the poultices produced for this work were measured through weight control, divided in three steps: 1) before placing the poultice, 2) immediately after the placement, 3) after drying the substrate/poultice aggregate. The results of the process efficiency are presented in Table 3; these values provide a comparative analysis between both poultices . The detail of the substrate has been included because its roughness/porosity can also influence the consumption. Given the materials of the specimens were chosen with the idea of covering a wide range of roughness/ porosity, the average values of all of them can be considered characteristic of the method itself. In the “GPM” method, the same water flow (which allows regulation) was always maintained. Thus, the absolute values of water consumption could not be considered characteristic of the method. On the other hand, the measured water was the one that has penetrated into thesubstrate, which depended a lot on the porosity of the material as well. The measured values were greater in the handmade application since its slowness allowed a greater intrusion of the liquid. Cellulose consumption is representative of the method to the point that the amount of Arbocel® per cm 2 was the same (0.12 gr/cm 2 ) in the “GPM” method (Micro -mean of the 20 test tubes) than in the poultice projected using the industrial equipment (Macro-mean of 10 applications with3000 m 2 of projection- [21]), fact that was surprising to us and that indicated that the difference between the projection equipment "Macro" and “Micro” was only its speed, of 55cm 2 / second in the “Macro” and of 7 cm 2 / second in the “Micro”. In any case, this result points to an extraordinary homogeneity in the functioning of the “GPM”, as we have designed it, by mixing water and cellulose in the air at gunpoint. © 2023 Global Journals Volume XXIII Issue II Version I 7 ( ) Global Journal of Human Social Science - Year 2023 C Poultices Generated Mechanically with Compressed Air: “Gunpoint Mix System” Characterization and Properties.
