  • Publication number: 20190233612
    Abstract: A heat conductive sheet comprising a cured product layer of a heat conductive silicone composition on one or both surfaces of a glass cloth sealed using a cured product of a heat conductive resin composition. The heat conductive silicone composition includes an organic silicon compound component and an aspherical heat conductive filler. The amount of the heat conductive filler is 250 to 600 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the organic silicon compound component, and the heat conductive filler has a DOP oil absorption of not more than 80 ml/100 g. The heat conductive sheet can be continuously manufactured by coating molding and wound into a roll even with the use of an inexpensive aspherical heat conductive filler, and has high heat conductivity, low thermal contact resistance, and high insulating properties.

  • Patent number: 9611614
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a waterproofing method for an outdoor tank, the waterproofing method being characterized in that the boundary portion between the bottom of the outdoor tank installed on a foundation and the foundation is covered in a liquid tight manner by a waterproof sheet adhered so as to extend from the outdoor tank to the foundation. The present invention can provide a waterproofing method which is effective to prevent the entry of rain water into the boundary portions between the bottoms of outdoor tanks and the foundations, most of the outdoor tanks being large tanks mainly installed in oil refineries or the like. This waterproofing method for an outdoor tank can more reliably waterproof the bottom side of the outdoor tank using the simple method.
