  • Patent number: 9737900
    Abstract: An in-situ applicator for applying a composition in a pipe comprises a flow diverter configured to receive a composition and eject the composition from at least one outlet. The applicator also comprises a hollow conical body having a narrow end, a broad end, and an interior surface configured to receive the composition ejected from the flow diverter. The conical body also has a plurality of holes forming a band that wraps circumferentially around the conical body which defines a flow region on the interior surface between the band and the narrow end. The band includes first holes adjacent to the flow region where each of the first holes has a first average diameter and second holes disposed between the first holes and the broad end, each of the second holes having an average diameter greater than the first diameter.

  • Publication number: 20160303605
    Abstract: A portable delivery system for delivering a multiple part coating composition for in situ coating an internal pipeline surface comprises a housing including a controller, at least two composition containers, a first hose, a hose delivery system, a pump, and at least two mass flow meters. The composition containers contain differing compositions, and each container includes a composition depth monitoring apparatus. The first hose comprises at least two additional hoses, where two of the additional hoses each deliver one of the compositions to a composition applicator. The hose delivery system stores and delivers the first hose to the pipeline, and the pump is coupled to the composition containers and the first hose. The mass flow meters are each coupled to a pump outlet corresponding to an outlet of the respective first or second composition container.

  • Patent number: 9164195
    Abstract: A method of making optical films having a polymerized microstructured surface are described. The polymerized microstructured surface comprises the reaction product of a polymerizable resin composition comprising 10% to 100 wt-% of at least one biphenyl di(meth)acrylate monomer. The di(meth)acrylate monomer comprises a core biphenyl structure having two aromatic rings connected with a C—C bond. The biphenyl di(meth)acrylate monomer preferably comprises a sufficient amount of ortho and/or meta(meth)acrylate substituents such that the monomer is a liquid at 25° C.

  • Publication number: 20130316137
    Abstract: Microstructured films such as brightness enhancing films. The microstructured film has a polymerized structure comprising the reaction product of the polymerizable resin composition (e.g. having a refractive index of at least 1.58). The cured nanocomposite (e.g. structure) can exhibit improved crack resistance. In some embodiments, the flexibility is expressed in terms of a cylindrical mandrel bend test property (e.g. a mandrel size to failure of less than 6 mm or a mandrel size to failure according to the equation D=1000(T/0.025?T) wherein T is the thickness in millimeters of a (e.g. preformed base layer). In other embodiments, the flexibility is expressed in terms of a tensile and elongation property (e.g. a tensile strength at break of at least 25 MPa and an elongation at break of at least 1.75%).
