Publication number: 20230302491Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method for the in-situ encapsulation and/or insulation of piping using silicone-based compositions such as liquid silicone rubber materials and/or silicone foams. The method is useful for encapsulation and/or insulation of underground piping, particularly underground piping carrying high temperature (e.g., >120° C.) fluids, such as steam. The in-situ encapsulation and/or insulation may be done by inserting a hose into a pipe cavity so that a first end of the hose is remotely positioned next to the pipe and a second end of the hose is attached to a pumping system. A silicone composition is pumped through the hose and into the cavity surrounding from the remote first end of the tubing at a first predefined rate, and the hose is gradually withdrawn from the cavity at a second predefined rate. The silicone material is allowed to cure and become rigid, thereby encapsulating and/or insulating the pipe.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2021Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Timothy MORLEY, Kshitish PATANKAR, Bradley W. TUFT, Thomas J. PARSONS, David SHAWL, Kaila M. MATTSON, Veronika IRKHA, Torrey CLARK, Dimitris KATSOULIS, Mark F. SONNENSCHEIN

Patent number: 9279040Abstract: Polymer foam is made from a two-component foam system. The foam system includes an A-side component which contains a multifunctional Michael acceptor and a blowing agent that has a boiling temperature in the range ?40° C. to +100° C. The system also includes a B-side component that contains a multifunctional carbon-Michael donor, a surfactant and a blowing agent that has a boiling temperature in the range ?40° C. to +100° C. The viscosities of each of the components are 2,500 cPs or lower. Foam is made by separately pressurizing the components, then separately depressurizing them so they each at least partially expand. The partially expanded materials are then combined in the presence of a carbon-Michael reaction catalyst to form a reaction mixture which is cured to form the polymer foam.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2012Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: Dow Global Technologies LLCInventors: Xin Jin, Steven P.
