Abstract: Proppant particles coated with a resin system containing a reactive resin and an organopolysiloxane having at least three successive siloxy units and at least one pendent or terminal group which contains at least four atoms selected from C, N, P, O, and S, exhibit higher degrees of coating and decreased fracture and release of fines at high pressure, thus enhancing fracking performance.

Abstract: Coated proppants useful in fracking operations in oil and gas production are coated with a novolac resin containing a linear or cyclic organopolysiloxane of specific composition. The coatings are more fracture resistant, thus producing less fines during use, resulting in longer production campaigns.

Abstract: The invention relates to coated support means for fracking mining methods, containing an inorganic substrate material and a coating containing polymers of one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers from the group containing vinyl esters of unbranched or branched alkyl carboxylic acids with 1 to 15 C atoms, methacrylic acid esters and acrylic acid esters of alcohols with 1 to 15 C atoms, vinyl aromatics, olefins, dienes and vinyl halides, characterised in that the polymers are obtained by means of radical-initiated polymerisation in an aqueous medium, wherein 0.5 to 20 wt. % of ethylenically unsaturated and silane group-containing monomers are copolymerised, in relation to the total weight of the monomers.

Abstract: Proppants coated with a cured reactive resin composition containing 92-99.5 wt. % of a reactive resin and 0.5 to 8 wt. % of a silicone resin containing at least 5 wt. % of alkoxy groups and at least 20 mol percent of T and/or Q units, in liquid form, exhibit high freedom from fines generation, and are free flowing.

Abstract: Coated proppants for use in fracking operations for oil and gas production are coated with a reactive resin composition containing 80-99.5 wt. % of a reactive polymer resin, and 0.5 to 8 wt. % of an alkoxy-functional silicone resin. The cured coating exhibits high fracture resistance and yet the proppant particles are free flowing.

Abstract: Coated proppants which exhibit superior proppant coatings and less fines generation are prepared by coating proppant particles with a reactive hybrid resin prepared by reaction of a phenol-formaldehyde resin and a co-reactive organopolysiloxane having at least three repeating siloxy groups, and is in free flowing form.

Abstract: Proppants coated with a curable resin containing 2.5-12% of a hydrophobic fumed silica having a BET surface area of 20 to 600 m2/g exhibit high resistance to cracking and flaking, and are useful in fracking operations in subterranean formations for recovery of oil and/or gas.

Abstract: In a fastening system of a roller bearing, comprising a bearing unit (3) which has a roll pin (1) that is mounted in a roll pin bearing (8) therein and a threaded nut (9) that engages in a thread formed on the roll pin (1) or a tensioning anchor (5) fastened therein and fixes the bearing unit (3) on the roll pin (1), a solution is to be created that improves the self-locking anti-turn mechanism of a threaded nut holding a roll pin bearing in place. According to the invention, a bendable and movable partial section (9a) is formed on the threaded nut (9), which section can be moved, particularly bent, relative to the remaining part (9b) of the threaded nut (9) into a position creating surface pressure (15b, 16b) that acts opposite the remaining thread engagement of the threaded nut (9) in the thread.

Abstract: The use of C2-20 alkyl phenyl silsesquioxane resins in cosmetic formulations provides cosmetics with good feel and water resistance. Lipsticks having excellent transfer resistance and high gloss may be prepared. Sunscreens and body lotions formulated with the resins exhibit improved UV absorbance. The resins may be supplied in flake form and are capable of melt blending.
