    Abstract: A single or multilayered film is presented having at least one layer that contains at least one thermoplastic olefin homo or copolymer, modified if need be. The layer contains additionally, at least one polyester. Such film is used as a sliding film or preliner in trenchless pipe renovation using the tube lining technique in which the film is layed on the inner wall of an underground sewer pipe laid that will be renovated. An insertion pipe with a curable carrier material can be pulled in sliding fashion over the sliding film laid on the pipe.

  • Publication number: 20180016435
    Abstract: A vehicle body repair formulation is provided that includes a polyester resin having a degree of unsaturation of between 25 and 100 molecule percent based on total acid and anhydride content. The polyester resin is dissolved or suspended in a monomer reactive diluent. Microspheroids are provided to enhance the sandability of a cured formulation. An initiator package is also provided. The reactive diluent/monomer can be chosen to be non-stryrenic to improve performance properties. A process for repairing a vehicle body is provided using ambient conditions alone or in combination with thermal source to aid in cure after applied to the vehicle body in need of repair.

  • Publication number: 20180016436
    Abstract: Provided are an organic silicon resin composition, prepreg and laminate using the same. The organic silicon resin composition glue solution contains a condensation silicon resin, a catalyst, an auxiliary agent, a white filler and a solvent as necessary components, and is impregnated in a reinforced material such as a sheet-like fiberglass fiber base material and then dried to prepare the prepreg. The prepreg has a net structure via crosslinking of the silicon resin using a condensation reaction. Since the organic silicon resin has ultrahigh heat resistance and yellowing resistance, the present invention applies the silicon resin to a white LED copper-clad laminate instead of a traditional organic resin, satisfying the demand for high heat resistance, and replacing the ceramic substrate to be a new heat-dissipating substrate base material.
