  • Patent number: 9932491
    Abstract: A method for preparing an emulsion for a cationic electrodeposition coating composition at an emulsification field, wherein the method includes synthesizing a base resin for a cationic electrodeposition coating composition, removing the base resin in a liquid state from a reaction vessel and then changing the resin into a solid state, and optionally, adjusting a size of the resin into an predetermined size, and emulsifying the resin at the emulsification field by adding water and an optional solvent, a neutralizing agent, a curing agent or additives, wherein the base resin is an aminated resin and has a softening point of 20-90° C., and wherein the adjusted shortest size of the base resin is 40 cm or less. Furthermore, the present application relates to a method for transporting a resin for cationic electrodeposition coating composition.

  • Publication number: 20150275030
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an efficient transportation of an emulsion for a cationic electrodeposition coating composition, and to reduce transportation costs significantly. The present invention provides a method for preparing an emulsion for a cationic electrodeposition coating composition at an emulsification field, wherein the method comprises: synthesizing a base resin for a cationic electrodeposition coating composition, changing the resin into a solid state after removing the base resin in a liquid state from a reaction vessel, and if necessary, adjusting a size of the resin into an appropriate size, and emulsifying the resin at the emulsification field by adding water and an optional solvent, a neutralizing agent, a curing agent or additives.

  • Patent number: 8763568
    Abstract: A spacer fitted inside a water jacket of a cylinder block in an internal combustion engine is set so that a space formed between an inner peripheral surface of the spacer and an inner wall surface of the water jacket is smaller than a space formed between an outer peripheral surface of the spacer and an outer wall surface of the water jacket. Accordingly, even if a position of the spacer is shifted in a radial direction, the inner peripheral surface of the spacer comes into abutment on the inner wall surface of the water jacket at first. Thereby, the abutment of the outer peripheral surface of the spacer on the outer wall surface of the water jacket is prevented completely. Therefore, hitting sounds of pistons can be blocked by the space between the outer peripheral surface of the spacer and the outer wall surface of the water jacket.
