Patent number: 8686092Abstract: A series of resins were synthesized using a range of bio-based materials to control the molecular architecture, and therefore the properties, of the inventive resins. The utility of these resins was demonstrated in the formulation of powder coatings, such as ?-hydroxy amide crosslinked and hybrid types. Generally, the bio-based resins flowed out on heating faster than conventional petrochemically-based resins, allowing the use of lower temperatures in the curing oven than is typically possible and a more active catalyst system, especially in the carboxylic acid-epoxy crosslinked hybrid coating formulations.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2012Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Battelle Memorial InstituteInventors: Bhima R. Vijayendran, Jerry L. King, II, Katherine P. Mitchell, Michael C. Clingerman, Jeffrey T. Cafmeyer

Publication number: 20080217801Abstract: Broadly, the invention provides for apparatus to form and gas-cure composite and or aggregate materials while controlling the flow of compound at a desired concentration and pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2007Publication date: September 11, 2008Inventors: James T. Schneider, Michael C. Clingerman, Gregory R. White

Publication number: 20080207796Abstract: Broadly, the invention provides for newly available bio-derived formaldehyde free furanic materials for aggregate binding. The specific example case is aggregate binding for forms used in the metal casting process. The new materials make possible higher productivity and lower phenol, formaldehyde, urea, and/or furfuryl alcohol content in the metal casting form-making process. It is expected that the formulations will work well in other aggregate binding situations as well.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2007Publication date: August 28, 2008Inventors: Michael C. Clingerman, Alex W. Kawczak, James T. Schneider

Publication number: 20080125517Abstract: Broadly, the invention provides for newly available bio-derived formaldehyde-free furanic materials for aggregate binding. A specific example is aggregate binding for forms used in the metal casting process. The inventive binder formulations involve the use of 2,5-furan dimethanol and other “filler” components for high productivity and fast tensile development without formaldehyde, urea, urea-formaldehyde or formaldehyde containing compositions.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2007Publication date: May 29, 2008Inventors: Michael C. Clingerman, Alex W. Kawczak, James T. Schneider

Patent number: 5856375Abstract: Broadly, the present invention relates to furan no-bake foundry binders where bisphenol A tar (BPAT) is used to replace a portion of the furfuryl alcohol and any conventional filler optionally included in for binder formulation. Reduction in the amount of furfuryl alcohol in the foundry binder formulation may lead to a reduction in the cost and an improvement in early strength of these formulations. Accordingly, in a furan no-bake foundry binder of a resin derived from a major proportion of furfuryl alcohol and optionally fillers, the improvement which comprises at least a fraction of said furfuryl alcohol being bisphenol A tar. Bisphenol A tar also can replace at least a fraction of any filler included in the binder formulation.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 1996Date of Patent: January 5, 1999Assignee: Ashland, Inc.Inventors: Ken K. Chang, Michael C. Clingerman, Michelle L. Lott, James T. Schneider

Patent number: 5232531Abstract: This invention relates to an adhesive for use with elastomeric substrates such as EPDM roofing materials, a method for splicing elastomeric substrates using splice adhesives and a laminate. The adhesive of this invention combines butyl rubber crosslinked after polymerization, halogenated butyl rubber, tackifying resin, and an isocyanate partially reacted with a diamine in a shelf stable product which rapidly forms strong bonds resistant to heat and humidity.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 1991Date of Patent: August 3, 1993Assignee: Ashland Oil, Inc.Inventors: Laurence G. Dammann, John W. Fieldhouse, Michael C. Clingerman, Hsienkun Tsai
