  • Gel coat formulation
    Patent number: 8367752
    Abstract: New gel coat composition, in particular new marine gel coat compositions, a process for their manufacture as well as their use to coat surfaces of articles exposed to light, water and solvents. The gel coats incorporate a precipitated silica having A BET surface of from 150 to 250 m2/g A SiO2 content of more than or equal to 98.5% by weight A Na2O content of less than or equal to 0.5% by weight.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 4, 2011
    Date of Patent: February 5, 2013
    Assignee: Evonik Degussa Corporation
    Inventors: James Toth, Matt Romaine
  • Precipitated silica for thickening and creating thixotropic behavior in liquid systems
    Patent number: 7985292
    Abstract: A precipitated silica having a d50-value of from 150 to 2000 nm, a d90-value of from 500 to 7000 nm, a silanol group density of from 2.5 to 8 OH/nm2, and a modified tapped density of less than or equal to 70 g/l is useful for thickening and providing thixotropy in liquid systems and shows superior efficiency at thickening and creating thixotropy compared to existing grades of precipitated silica. The precipitated silica functions best as a thixotrope in non-polar or intermediate polar liquid systems such as unsaturated polyester (UPE) resin systems.
