Abstract: A hose and/or a datacenter liquid cooling system with such hose that is flexible and may have high-green strength, flame-resistance, reduced leaching of extractables, and/or a low profile. The inner tube is formed from an elastomeric composition comprising one or more EPDM(s) constituting a majority of base polymer, a filler package, and a peroxide cure package, such that the cured elastomeric composition reduces extractable leaching. The outer cover layer is thin-walled and formed from an elastomeric composition comprising EPDM(s), a filler package, and a cure package, in which the cured elastomeric composition satisfies flammability requirements of UL 94 standard.

Abstract: A gasket comprising at least one spacer and configured to prevent contact between a mount link of a turbine mount assembly and a turbine frame mount of an aircraft engine, which is a turbine engine in some embodiments, is provided. The at least one spacer includes a pin cutout to receive a turbine frame pawl pin of the engine mount and a pin groove that is expandable so as to enable the turbine frame pawl pin to pass through and into the pin cutout. The gasket may include a grommet for receiving a connecting ring that is coupled to a streamer grommet of a streamer. The streamer may act as an identifier for the gasket.

Abstract: A process for end-capping a dimethylsilanol terminated polydiorganosiloxane with one or more di, tri and/or tetra alkoxysilanes in the presence of an end-capping catalyst starting material is provided. The end-capping catalyst starting material comprises one or more linear, branched or cyclic molecules comprising at least one amidine group, guanidine group, or derivatives of the amidine group and/or guanidine group or a mixture thereof. The resulting capped polymeric material may be utilized as a polymer in, e.g., a polydiorganosiloxane elastomer composition.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of a one-component alkoxy-functional room temperature vulcanisable (RTV) composition, cured with a tin-based catalyst, is provided. The RTV composition is useful as a silicone sealant composition. The silicone sealant composition is designed for compositions comprising an alkoxy end-capped polydiorganosiloxane polymer, filler, a cross-linker and a tin-based catalyst. The process is designed to enable in-situ treatment of fillers, while seeking to reduce the presence of —OH group scavengers in the silicone sealant composition, especially during storage.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a practice bat having a handle and a barrel, both of which can be made from wood or other material, and a shaft being made from plastic, carbon, fiberglass or other material. The diameter of the shaft is less than the diameter of the either the handle or barrel.
