  • Frozen, lightweight curable sealant
    Patent number: 9200181
    Abstract: A uniformly premixed sealant is extruded into a packaging form and allowed to pressure equilibrate prior to freezing. Upon warming the sealant begins to cure. The storage of the preformed sealant formulation under cold conditions arrests the activity of cure catalysts and accelerators mixed therethrough. The sealant is readily extruded into a preform shape containing a lightweight filler. A release film is provided to avoid contact with the sealant preformed in a shape during application to a substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 25, 2013
    Date of Patent: December 1, 2015
    Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties Company
    Inventors: Jonathan D. Zook, Dewey L. Mullins, II, Stephane E. Pyrek, David W. A. Jordan

  • Frozen, preformed curable seal
    Patent number: 6881462
    Abstract: A uniformly premixed sealant is provided as a frozen preform that upon warming cures in the preform shape. The storage of the preformed sealant formulation under cold conditions arrests the activity of cure catalysts and accelerators mixed therethrough. A release film is provided to avoid contact with the preformed sealant during application to a substrate. The preformed sealant is particularly well suited for use in aerospace applications.
