Patent number: 11512438Abstract: Disclosed is an infill for an artificial turf field, the infill comprising: from about 40 wt. % to about 60 wt. % of a polyvinyl chloride resin; from about 5 wt. % to about 30 wt. % of a plasticizer derived from a naturally occurring source; from about 2 wt. % to about 10 wt. % of a reflective pigment; from about 0.01 wt. % to about 0.1 wt. % of a blowing agent; and from about 5 wt. % to about 30 wt. % of a filler. The infill is pelletized and maintains the temperature of an artificial turf field, when disposed throughout the artificial turf field, at a temperature about 15° F. to about 25° F. less than a temperature of a comparative artificial turf under substantially similar ambient and environmental conditions, wherein a comparative infill of the comparative artificial turf consists essentially of crumbed rubber infill.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2020Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: The Hanson Group LLCInventor: Wallace Lee Hanson, Jr.

Publication number: 20150322623Abstract: The invention describes making core structures for tooling panels air permeable and resistant to higher temperatures. Core structures may be a non-woven made from fibers that may be treated with an adhesion promoter. The fiber is then treated with an outer-coating. Proper choice of outer coating allows the tooling panel to function at higher temperatures. The non-woven core may be constructed in various dimensions. Air permeability allows tooling panels to show superior response to changing temperatures. The non-woven may be bonded with another to form a larger tooling panel. The outer surface of the tooling panel may be coated with a material such as rigid foam that can be machined to a pattern placed in contact with material in manufacture a part. The permeable core structure can be made from permeated plastic, wood, metal, ceramic and the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2014Publication date: November 12, 2015Applicant: Hanson Group LLCInventors: Guy J. Stokes, Ty Jackson Stokes, Robert Oldefest

Patent number: 8413914Abstract: A method and apparatus for electrostatically spraying a plural component fast set polymer is disclosed. The system comprises a spray gun and at least two hoses connected to the head of the spray gun. The system also includes a proportioner connected to an end of the at least two hoses and a high voltage generator electrically and pneumatically in communication with the spray gun. The electrostatic spray system will allow for a fast set polymer to be imparted with electrical charge after mixing of a first and second component in a spray head thereof prior to expulsion via a nozzle to a grounded target that is being coated with the electrostatic spray coating.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2010Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Hanson Group, LLCInventor: Melissa Pena
