Abstract: An insulation blanket including an inner core air cell made of metal and having a first side for receiving a first composite and a second side for receiving a second composite. The first composite having a first inner layer formed of a metal foil sheet, a first middle layer formed of ceramic based sheets, and a first outer layer formed of an intumescent, fire-retardant coating on a fiber glass sheet; and the second composite having a second inner layer formed of a metal foil sheet, a second middle layer formed of ceramic based sheets, and a second outer layer formed of an intumescent, fire-retardant coating on a fiber glass sheet.

Abstract: Synergistic composition and method of use are disclosed. The compositions comprise a quinone methide derivative and a hydroxylamine compound. These compositions demonstrate synergism at inhibiting the polymerization of a vinyl aromatic monomer. Preferably the quinone methide derivative is 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-benzylidene-cyclo-2,5-dienone and the hydroxylamine compound is N,N-bis(hydroxypropyl)hydroxylamine.

Abstract: Method and composition for gel formation in hydrocarbon recovery, in which an organic phosphate ester is gelled by a novel activator composition comprising iron sulfate, dibutylaminoethanol, and a phosphate surfactant.
