  • Patent number: 11629280
    Abstract: An iron powder for an exothermic composition according to the present invention has a bulk density of 0.3 to 1.5 g/cm3. Furthermore, an exothermic composition according to the present invention contains the iron powder, a carbon material, a halide salt, and water. Furthermore, an exothermic body production method according to the present invention includes: forming a coated member by coating a base material sheet with a flowable exothermic composition containing the iron powder, a carbon material, and water; and adjusting an amount of moisture in the coated member by removing water from the coated member. Furthermore, the present invention is directed to a production method for the iron powder (an iron powder for an exothermic composition) including: a reducing step of reducing iron oxide to obtain reduced iron; and a step of milling the reduced iron.

  • Patent number: 9340721
    Abstract: A method for producing a coated material having an oxidizable metal-containing coating, including the step of applying to a base material (11) an oxidizable metal-containing coating fluid containing a particulate oxidizable metal, a carbon component, a thickener, and water using a coating apparatus (1) and a coating fluid preparation step in which a thickener solution prepared by dissolving the thickener in water, the particulate oxidizable metal, and the carbon component or an aqueous dispersion of the carbon component are put and mixed in a preparation tank (3) to prepare the oxidizable metal-containing coating fluid. In the coating fluid preparation step, the particulate oxidizable metal is added to the thickener solution.
