  • Publication number: 20080174175
    Abstract: A master link for a track of a machine includes a first link member having a profiled surface with a sinusoidal segment defined by a tooth and an adjacent recess. The master link further includes a second link member configured complementarily to the first link member, their respective profiled surfaces together defining a mating interface for transmitting loads therebetween. A machine further includes a track having a single tooth master link wherein profiled surfaces on adjacent link members together define a mating interface for transmitting loads through the track, each of the profiled surfaces having a sinusoidal segment.

  • Patent number: 6245842
    Abstract: A flame-intumescent coating is provided for a wood-based building product, the coating being adapted to expand to form an expanded coating when exposed to heat from a fire. The coating comprises a polymeric binder, at least one blowing agent dispersed in the binder, and at least one intumescent compound dispersed in the binder. The blowing agent and intumescent compound are adapted to expand the coating when the coating is exposed to heat from a fire. The polymeric binder is formed from a mixture including castor oil and an isocyanate, wherein the castor oil is present in the mixture in a quantity of 9-36% of the total weight of the coating. A flame-retardant building product is also provided.
