  • Patent number: 4857219
    Abstract: A high temperature heat transfer and lubricating composition consisting of a mixture of (a) a mixture of mono-, di- and tribenzylated ethyl benzene and (b) a polyphenyl ether. The lubricant has a pour point of -40.degree. C. and does not degrade at temperatures of 300.degree. C. The lubricant is miscible in all proportions but the ratio of component (a) to component (b) is about 10 to 90:90 to 10.

  • Patent number: 4642170
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of electrophoretically depositing a coating of polysulfones or polyethersulfones on a conductive substrate. An amine-free solution is formed in an organic solvent of the polysulfones or polyethersulfones. An emulsion is formed by combining the solution with an organic non-solvent for the polymer which contains up to about 0.6 parts by weight of an organic nitrogen containing base per parts by weight of the polymer. A direct current is applied between a conductive substrate and the emulsion which results in the deposition of the polymer on the substrate.

  • Patent number: 4533718
    Abstract: A heat curable, storage stable, insulating varnish is made by heat reacting: (A) a methoxy functional diphenyl oxide resinous material, (B) a metal halide catalyst, and (C) silicon dioxide acting as a stabilizer, after which a suitable solvent can be added to provide a solids content of from about 25 wt. % to about 75 wt. %.

  • Patent number: 4391933
    Abstract: An emulsion is prepared which comprises about 8 to about 20 percent of a solvent, about 0.5 to 5 percent of an epoxy resin dissolved in the solvent to form a discontinuous phase, about 75 to about 90 percent of a precipitant as the continuous phase, and an emulsifier in an amount sufficient to react stoichiometrically with the epoxy and hydroxyl groups on the epoxy resin up to about 900% in excess of stoichiometric. A conductive workpiece is placed in the emulsion about 1/2 to about 2 inches from an electrode which is also immersed in the emulsion. A direct electric current potential is applied between the workpiece and the electrode with the workpiece as the anode. About 50 to about 400 volts and about 2 to about 50 milliamperes are used until a coating of the desired thickness has been deposited on the workpiece. The solvent and precipitant are preferably ketones such as cyclohexanone, and methylethylketone or isobutylketone, respectively.

  • Patent number: 4356237
    Abstract: A porous encapsulating composition is formed of particulate filler material which is cohesively bonded together by a binder material which forms beads around the points of contact between contiguous particles. In one embodiment, the filler material includes round gravel and resin-coated sand particles with the resin being redistributed to form beads around the points of contact between contiguous particles.

  • Patent number: 4243623
    Abstract: A method of encapsulating electrical apparatus in a particulate filler material which is cohesively bonded together by a binder material which forms beads around the points of contact between contiguous particles. The filler material includes uncoated and dry, resin-coated particles, with the dry resin being redistributed after the particles of filler are in position about the electrical apparatus by the step of liquifying the resin coating with a liquid solvent, to form beads around the points of contact between contiguous particles.

  • Patent number: 4168989
    Abstract: A stripper composition for thermoset resins is disclosed which comprises about 1 to about 99% of an aromatic compound which has a boiling point over 180.degree. C. and is a phenol or a primary or secondary amine, and about 1 to about 99% of a carboxylic acid compound which has a boiling point over 180.degree. C. and is a rosin acid or a mono- or di-carboxylic fatty acid or an ester thereof. The composition also preferably includes sufficient hydrogen bonding compound to react with any acid present in the composition plus about 20 to about 50% in excess of that amount. A swelling agent is also preferably included.
