  • Patent number: 7160961
    Abstract: The invention relates to cast resins containing A) at least one solid unsaturated polyester and B) at least one oligomer and/or polymer cross-linking agent that can be copolymerised therewith, said cross-linking agent having at least one terminal and/or lateral propenyl-, isoprenyl- and/or (meth)acrylester group in relation to the oligomer- and/or polymer main chain. The invention also relates to the use of cast resins as casting beans and impregnants and as coating agents. The invention further relates to a method for melt impregnating or melt coating components, absorbent mattes or grounded or ungrounded substrates with the cast resins.

  • Patent number: 7045174
    Abstract: The method for hardening electro-insulating materials is characterised by the utilization and/or co-utilization of near-infrared radiation (NIR) having a wavelength of 500 nm to 1400 nm. NIR also enables very fast hardening of the component surface even with pure thermally hardenable impregnating material and further provides good hardening of thick layers located deep inside said layers. Combined hardening, for example, NIR and UV light, is also possible.

  • Patent number: 6455111
    Abstract: The subject of the present invention is the use of a resin composition (A) comprising A1) at least one unsaturated polyester resin, A2) at least one vinyl ether having a viscosity of less than 4000 mPa·s at 25° C., A3) if desired, at least one further polymer and/or oligomer, A4) if desired, at least one curing accelerator, A5) if desired, at least one ethylenically unsaturated reactive diluent, and A6) if desired, further customary additives, as impregnating, casting and coating compositions for electrical and/or electronic components and for carrier materials for sheetlike insulating materials. The present invention additionally relates to coating compositions suitable for this purpose which can be cured with low emissions.

  • Patent number: 6200645
    Abstract: The polyester resin impregnating and coating solution comprises polyesters having structures of the formula (I) where n is from 0 to 10 and where the solution is essentially free from monomers containing acrylic, vinylic or allylic unsaturation and where the solvent employed preferably comprises aliphatic saturated C2-6 alcohols, C3-6 ketones or C3-6 carboxylic esters or mixtures thereof, the proportion of the solvent being from 5 to 60% by weight of the overall polyester resin impregnating and coating solution.

  • Patent number: 6162840
    Abstract: The invention concerns the use of monomer-free saturated or unsaturated polyester resins or mixtures of saturated and unsaturated polyester resins containing structural units of general formulae (I) and/or (II), in which n=1-10, as impregnation, sealing and coating compounds for electrical engineering and electronic components and for carrier substances for flat insulating materials.

  • Patent number: 6146717
    Abstract: The invention comprises a process for impregnating components with polymerizable impregnants which are liquid at room temperature or can be liquefied by heating and are cured by combined use of heat and high-energy radiation, wherein the components are impregnated at ambient temperature or in a preheated state and, after impregnation, are heated in the impregnant until partial gelation occurs, are treated with high-energy radiation before full curing and are then fully cured by thermal means.
