  • Patent number: 10912568
    Abstract: The balloon includes a pouch formed of a sealed wall delimiting an internal space, and a valve for filling the internal space with a fluid, capable of being occluded after filling the internal space. The pouch delimits a fluid-draining orifice opening into the internal space. The balloon further includes an occluding ball that occludes the draining orifice. The occluding ball can be spherical or polyhedral, and be capable of releasing the draining orifice under the effect of a magnetic field, so as to enable the at least partial drainage of the fluid contained in the internal space. The occluding ball is movable along at least two distinct axes in relation to the pouch.

  • Patent number: 9446954
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing trisilylamine and polysilazanes in the liquid phase, in which ammonia is introduced in a superstoichiometric amount relative to 5 monochlorosilane which is present in an inert solvent. Here, a reaction in which trisilylamine and polysilazanes are formed proceeds. TSA is subsequently separated off in gaseous form from the product mixture. The TSA obtained is purified by filtration and distillation and obtained in high or very high purity. The bottom product mixture is conveyed from the reactor through a filter unit in which solid ammonium chloride is separated off to give a liquid mixture of polysilazanes and solvent. This is fed to a further distillation to recover solvent. As a result of the NH3 being introduced in a superstoichiometric amount relative to monochlorosilane, monochlorosilane is completely reacted in the reactor.

  • Publication number: 20150147256
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing trisilylamine and polysilazanes in the liquid phase, in which ammonia dissolved in an inert solvent is initially introduced in a substoichiometric amount relative to monochlorosilane which is likewise present in an inert solvent. The reaction is carried out in a reactor in which trisilylamine formed according to the following equation 4NH3+3H3SiCl?3NH4Cl+(SiH3)3N and polysilazanes are formed. The reactor is subsequently depressurized and TSA is separated off in gaseous form from the product mixture. The TSA obtained is purified by filtration and distillation and obtained in high or very high purity. Further ammonia dissolved in an inert solvent is subsequently introduced into the reactor, using, together with the previously introduced amount of ammonia, a stoichiometric excess of ammonia relative to the amount of MCS previously present.

  • Patent number: 8915998
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pigment granulate which contains 40 to 65% by weight of pigment and at least 10% by weight of a compound of general formula (I) CH3—(CH2)n—CH2—O—[(CH2)p—O]m—H, wherein n=8-18, p=1-4 and m=35-100, the weight ratio of the compound of general formula I to the pigment being ? the STSA surface area of the pigment in m2/g multiplied by 0.0021 g/m2 and the mass-weighted particle size of the pigment granulate being <20 ?m. The pigment granulate can be produced by dispersing the pigment and the compound of formula I in a solvent and then drying the dispersion obtained. The pigments according to the invention can be used for dying and/or the antistatic finishing in water-based paints and lacquer systems, dispersion on paints, printing inks, ink systems and coating systems.
