  • Patent number: 7759412
    Abstract: A tire puncture sealant including a urethane emulsion, an acrylic emulsion or a polyolefin emulsion, and an antifreezing agent has a comparatively low viscosity and an excellent storage stability while showing sealing properties equivalent to those of a conventional tire puncture sealant. A tire puncture sealant including a synthetic resin emulsion and an antifreezing agent, and having a hydrogen ion exponent of 5.5 to 8.5 has a less pungent odor and hardly causes corrosion of steel cord. A tire puncture sealant including a chloroprene emulsion and an antifreezing agent and having a hydrogen ion exponent of less than 9.0 has a comparatively low viscosity and a less odor while showing sealing properties equivalent to those of a conventional tire puncture sealant.

  • Patent number: 7745511
    Abstract: An emulsion coagulant for coagulating a tire puncture sealant containing emulsion particles includes a mineral which induces aggregation of the emulsion particles by one or both of weakening of surface charge of the emulsion particles and formation of hydrogen bond between the mineral and the emulsion particles, and a gelation agent. The emulsion coagulant enables easy recovery of the tire puncture sealant from a tire as well as easy disposal of the recovered sealant.

  • Publication number: 20100092783
    Abstract: Disclosed is a urethane emulsion which enables to obtain a cured product having excellent water repellency. This urethane emulsion is obtained by stirring a urethane prepolymer composition containing a urethane prepolymer having a carboxy group, a neutralizing agent and water. This urethane emulsion is characterized in that the urethane prepolymer is obtained by reacting, at a specific ratio, a polyisocyanate compound having two or more isocyanate groups, a siloxane-containing polyol compound having two or more hydroxy groups and dimethyl siloxane and/or a fluorine-containing polyol having two or more hydroxy groups and fluoroethylene, and a carboxy group-containing compound having two or more hydroxy groups and a carboxy group.

  • Publication number: 20090298965
    Abstract: A highly heat-conductive epoxy resin composition, which comprises epoxy resin in a liquid state at room temperature, a latent curing agent, a highly heat-conductive filler, and a non-ionic surfactant, where preferably the latent curing agent is mixed with a portion of the epoxy resin in a liquid state at room temperature to form a master batch, can keep a relatively low viscosity, even if a large amount of the filler is contained, and can be cured at a relatively low temperature for a short time, and has a distinguished storage stability as one-component composition.

  • Publication number: 20090286925
    Abstract: Disclosed is a urethane emulsion exhibiting excellent stability, whose cured product is excellent in water resistance. Specifically disclosed is a urethane emulsion obtained by stirring a urethane prepolymer composition containing a carboxylated urethane prepolymer, water and a neutralizing agent at a shear rate of 5,000-19,000 s?1. The carboxylated urethane prepolymer is obtained by reacting a polyisocyanate compound having two or more isocyanate groups, a polyol compound having two or more hydroxy groups and a carboxylated compound having two or more hydroxy groups and one or more carboxy groups under such a condition that the molar ratio of the isocyanate group to the carboxy group is within the range of 12-200.
