  • Patent number: 4676997
    Abstract: Sand casting is an old art. In this molding process sand is compacted around a pattern and the pattern is removed, leaving a mold cavity the shape of the pattern. Molten metal can then be poured into the cavity to form the object. To increase the life of the mold, and to make removal of the pattern easier, the pattern must be coated with a protective material. Despite many available pattern coating compounds, mineral seal oil, and a mixture of mineral seal and clay, have been the commercial choices. But they are not without their disadvantages. The properties of mineral seal oil are not entirely desirable, particularly its low flash point and toxicity. Hereby the advantages of mineral seal oil-clay pattern coating compositions are retained without its detriments.

  • Patent number: 4666518
    Abstract: A recipe is provided for an aqueous inside and/or outside paint for green tires which are to be vulcanized in a mold in cooperation with a hot, pressurized inner bladder. The aqueous paint contains no silicone release agent, hydrocarbon solvent or rubber latex, but only an air bleeding pigment such as carbon black for the outside paint or mica for the inside paint, and surfactant which are blended into a hot wax melt to form a stable dispersion. The melt contains a major amount of a lower melting wax such as paraffin wax, and a minor amount of a higher melting wax such as carnauba wax based on the total weight of wax. The carnauba wax may be dispensed within the outside tire paint for passenger car tires. The essential ingredients for the inside tire paint are the same as those used for the outside tire paint, except that the ratios in which they are present are different to accommodate the disparate requirements for flow of the tire's rubber surfaces during the vulcanizing cycle.
