  • Patent number: 6630204
    Abstract: Mixtures containing at least one functionalized low-molecular rubber A, at least one cross-linking agent B having groups which are reactive with respect to the functional groups of the rubber A, accelerators/catalysts C for the cross-linking reaction between A and B, possibly reactive diluents D, vulcanization chemicals E, and also fillers F and auxiliary substances G, with at least one of the average functionalities of the constituents A and B being at least 2, and their use as anti-corrosive coating agents.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: October 7, 2003
    Assignee: SGL Acotec GmbH
    Inventors: Dirk Hoelter, Thomas Burkhart, Gerd Hessel
  • Publication number: 20030134953
    Abstract: Use, as modifier resin for rubber mixtures, of novolaks ABC plastified with terpene-type olefinically unsaturated natural substances C, where the ratio of the molar amount of the phenol or phenol derivative B and the molar amount of the natural substance C in the modified novolak is from 1:6 to 6:1, process for increasing the tear propagation resistance and reducing the compression set of rubber vulcanizates by adding these modifier resins to rubber mixtures, and components molded from vulcanizates thus prepared.

  • Patent number: 5916407
    Abstract: A process for producing an electrically conductive connection between opposite arranged contact areas of two elements that are to be connected, by means of a hot-melt type adhesive formed of electrically conductive particles, which are dispersed in a thermoplastic base material. The hot-melt type adhesive (22) is applied purposely only to the contact areas (16) of at least one of the elements (10, 28, 42, 50) and that these elements are joined under the effects of heat.

  • Patent number: 5891366
    Abstract: An anisotropically conducting adhesive includes a thermoplastic base material; and particles which include metal particles and metal ions, which are electrically conductive, and which are finely distributed within the thermoplastic base material below a percolation threshold, wherein the particles are enriched in certain regions under the influence of exposure to at least one of light and heat.

  • Patent number: 5859169
    Abstract: Urethane-modified novolaks which are prepared by simultaneous reaction of a monohydric or polyhydric phenol (A) with an oxo compound (aldehyde or ketone) (B) and a urethane (C) in the presence of an acidic catalyst (D) at an elevated temperature of 60.degree. to 200.degree. C. and contain no interfering amounts of free starting phenol, and their use as adhesion improvers in rubbers, in particular rubbers containing reinforcing media such as steel cord or textile fibers.

  • Patent number: 5708100
    Abstract: Stoving enamels comprising epoxy resins and carboxyl-functional alkylidenepolyphenols in a quantity such that the carboxyl groups are present at least in equimolar quantities relative to the epoxide groups of the epoxy resins are suitable for coating the inside of metallic food containers and give, on the packaging, baked coating films which are essentially free from migratable constituents carrying epoxide groups.
