  • Coated metal reinforcement element and coating materials
    Patent number: 6830826
    Abstract: A coated metal reinforcement element for polymeric or elastomeric materials comprises a coating of: a polymer or prepolymer compatible with and co-polymerizable, co-vulcanizable or crosslinkable with said polymeric or elastomeric material to be reinforced, and bearing functional groups; either covalently bonding to the metal surface of said reinforcement element; or forming covalent bonds with the outward directed first functional groups of a mono-or multimolecular layer of a bifunctional adhesion promotor intercalated between said metal by its second functional groups. A method for the coating includes a one step and a two step procedure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 13, 2001
    Date of Patent: December 14, 2004
    Assignee: N.V. Bekaert S.A.

  • Elongated steel object treated with a corrosion inhibiting composition
    Patent number: 6329073
    Abstract: An elongated steel object is covered with a coating layer having 1) an electrode potential exceeding the electrode potential of steel, or 2) a rate of corrosion which is lower than the rate of corrosion of steel and is treated with a corrosion inhibiting composition.
