Abstract: Corrosion and chip-resistant coatings for high tensile steel components, such as automotive coil springs, can be formed from a coating composition comprising a primer having an epoxy resin with the proviso that the epoxy resin does not have an EEW of about 860 to about 930, a polyhydroxyl functional phenolic curing agent having a HEW of about 200 to about 500, and a platy filler. The primer contains less than 20 wt % zinc. The topcoat includes an epoxy resin having an epoxy equivalent weight of about 450 to about 1400, an elastomer-modified epoxy resin having an epoxy equivalent weight of about 1000 to about 1600, a foaming agent and a reinforcing fiber.

Abstract: Corrosion and chip-resistant coatings for high tensile steel components, such as automotive coil springs, are formed from a coating composition comprising a substantially non-zinc containing primer and a topcoat. The primer includes an epoxy resin having an epoxy equivalent weight of about 860 to about 930, a polyhydroxyl functional phenolic curing agent having a hydroxyl equivalent weight of about 200 to about 500, and a filler material. The topcoat includes an epoxy resin having an epoxy equivalent weight of about 520 to about 930, an elastomer-modified epoxy resin having an epoxy equivalent weight of about 1000 to about 1600, a carboxyl functional polyester with an acid number of about 45 to about 75 mg KOH/g, a foaming agent and a reinforcing fiber.

Abstract: The present invention provides a packer cup system for use inside a wellbore comprising a packer cup and a backup component coupled thereto. In one configuration, the backup component further comprises an angled support member and a rubber ring disposed between the angled support member and the packer cup. The support member is configured to facilitate uniform expansion of the rubber ring.

Abstract: Packers and methods of using same are described. The packer includes a packer body, a slip to engage a casing of the well and a sealing element to seal an annulus of the well, a fluid bypass chamber adapted to allow fluid passage through the packer body during run in hole and in release position, and a re-settable mandrel slideably engaged with guide pins attached to the packer body and adapted to selectively open and close circulation paths upon actuation. This abstract allows a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the disclosure. It will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).

Abstract: Zonal isolation tools and methods of using same are described. The zonal isolation tools include a wellbore sealing member expandable by fluid pressure to contact a wellbore over an initial contact area, an inflation valve open during expansion of the sealing member to the initial contact area and closed upon the fluid pressure reaching a predetermined setting, a vent between the sealing member and a wellbore annulus adapted to open after the inflation valve is closed, and a compressive load imparted to the sealing member via a linear piston to achieve a sealing point at the leading edge of the sealing member. This abstract allows a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the disclosure. It will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).

Abstract: A seal assembly is provided that includes an elastomeric portion; a primary extrusion barrier which reinforces the elastomeric portion; and a secondary extrusion barrier disposed between the elastomeric portion and the primary extrusion barrier to prevent entry of the elastomeric portion into open areas in the primary extrusion barrier.
