Patent number: 9976688Abstract: A method of coating an expandable item (10) such as a pressure vessel or process vessel used for instance in the off shore oil industry. A compressible flexible intermediate layer (14) is provided on the item (10), and a support member (18) is embedded in the intermediate layer (14). The support member (18) comprises an open framework base (20) and a plurality of projecting members upstanding therefrom and extending out of the intermediate layer (14) away from the item (10). A thermally insulating coating layer (12) is applied over the intermediate layer (14) such that the projecting members (22) extend into the coating layer (12), and are wholly located in the coating layer (12).Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2015Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: ADVANCED INSULATION PLCInventor: Simon Harry Shepherd

Publication number: 20180079914Abstract: An intumescent coating material, the material comprising first and second parts mixable together so that the material will cure by an addition reaction in the presence of a metallic catalyst. The first part including a polydiorganosiloxane polymer having at least two unsaturated groups per molecule. The first part also including the metallic catalyst and a reinforcing filler. The second part including an organohydrogensiloxane crosslinker described by formula R13Si(OSiR22)x(OSiMeH)yOSiR13, where each R2 is independently selected from saturated hydrocarbon radicals comprising from 1 to 10 carbon atoms or aromatic hydrocarbon radicals and each R1 is independently selected from hydrogen or R2, x is zero or an integer and y is an integer. The organohydrogensiloxane has at least three Si—H bonds per molecule.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2016Publication date: March 22, 2018Applicants: ADVANCED INSULATION PLC, DOW CORNING CORPORATIONInventors: SIMON HARRY SHEPHERD, LAURA JORDAN
