  • Publication number: 20220325113
    Abstract: Coating compositions that include one or more epoxy resin compositions, one or more metal-containing compound and one or more curing agents are described. The compositions can be applied to steel substrates, including steel substrates such as steel pipe to resist attack by sour gas. When applied to a substrate and cured, these coating compositions demonstrate reduced permeability to hydrogen sulfide.

  • Patent number: 9919337
    Abstract: A confluent system includes an internal venturi; an open hopper in gaseous communication with the internal venturi, the open hopper being configured to receive solid large particles; and a fluid bed in gaseous communication with the internal venturi. The method includes a set of coatings and composite structures formed from a portion of the solid large particles applied to workpieces by gas-supported transfer then fused together by heating that comprise large-scale variations in structure provided by the inclusion of particles that are larger in at least one dimension than conventional powder coating particles.
