  • Patent number: 11224905
    Abstract: An injection tip assembly 10 and methods for use more reliably provide for delivery of fluid substances, such as materials that promote removal, destruction, or isolation of contaminants, into targeted zones within soil or bedrock. The injection tip assembly 10 permits the application of pressurized fluid 163 so as to erode or cut a desired cavity or eroded volume 164 within the subsurface 14, allows for timely observation, adjustment, and control of pressure within the cavity, and directs the delivery of a second substance or fluid that may incorporate desired materials. The consequence of managed erosion and pressure control is to nucleate and propagate a hydraulic fracture of desirable form that optimally delivers remedial agents throughout the targeted formation.

  • Publication number: 20070129526
    Abstract: The present invention relates to stable liquid, allophanate-modified, partially trimerized diphenylmethane diisocyanates, the prepolymers of these stable liquid, allophanate-modified, partially trimerized MDI's, and to processes for the preparation of these compositions. These allophanate modified partially trimerized diphenylmethane diisocyanates comprise the reaction product of a diphenylmethane diisocyanate and an organic compound in the presence of a catalytic amount of one or more trimer catalysts, one or more allophanate catalysts, one or more allophanate-trimer catalysts and mixtures thereof. The prepolymers are the reaction product of the stable liquid, allophanate-modified, partially trimerized MDI's with a suitable isocyanate-reactive group containing compound.

  • Publication number: 20060073321
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process for producing a flexible polyurethane foam achieving reduced flammability and maintaining durability is presented. These foams are prepared by reaction of a di- or polyisocyanate/polyisocyanurate blend with polyol component optionally in the presence of a catalyst, a blowing agent, additives and a cross-linking agent. The polyisocyanurate used in the blend is a novel composition.
