  • Patent number: 6737134
    Abstract: Abrasion resistant pipes of this invention comprise a structural wall formed from a filament wound fiberglass-reinforced material, and an elastomeric abrasion resistant material disposed along the inside and/or outside surface of such pipe. In a preferred embodiment, the structural pipe wall is formed from a filament wound fiberglass-reinforced epoxy resin material, and the abrasion resistant material is formed from a polyurea elastomer. Abrasion resistant pipes of this invention are manufactured using existing filament winding processes by first coating a mandrel with the elastomeric abrasion resistant material, and than winding the resin impregnated filament therearound. Pipes prepared according to principles of this invention have improved properties of toughness, temperature resistance, chemical resistance, and abrasion resistance when compared to conventional fiberglass-reinforced pipes that either have no protective liner or have liners formed from other elastomeric materials.

  • Patent number: 5942073
    Abstract: Adhesive/adherend systems of this invention comprise a siloxane-modified adhesive component and a siloxane-modified adherend component. The siloxane-modified adhesive component is prepared by combining an epoxy resin with an organosilane ingredient, a polysiloxane resin, an amine hardener, an organometallic catalyst, a base catalyst, and any thickener and extender pigment. The siloxane-modified adherend component is prepared using a polysiloxane resin and may also contain other resins such epoxy, phenolic, polyester, vinyl ester, polyurethane, polyamide, melamine, furan, acrylate, thermoplastic polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polycarbonate, ABS, polystyrene, ethylene vinyl acetate, polyvinyl acetate, polyamide, and polypropylene resins.
