Publication number: 20150079291Abstract: Multifunctional coating films that can be applied in liquid form are provided for compressing, sealing, covering and preserving surfaces. The films include a composition of polysaccharide materials and/or homo- or heteroglycan water-soluble polysaccharide derivatives, polyol spacers, and crosslinkers with carbonyl or carboxylic function(s). As-applied, the composition is water-soluble and reactive, but after hardening it is capable of absorbing water or swelling, impermeable to water vapour, stable against water and UV and can be biologically degraded in a controlled manner. By reacting polysaccharide materials, polysaccharide derivatives and polyol spacers with cross linkers having carbonyl or carboxylic function(s), mechanically stable flexible films are obtained, which retain their mechanical properties up to a foreign material content of 80%.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2013Publication date: March 19, 2015Inventors: Jens Schaller, Knut Stengel, Frank Meister, Sabine Reide

Patent number: 6264732Abstract: A puncture preventive sealant capable of reducing the content of cellulose fibers for suppressing the cost of the sealant while keeping a high sealing performance due to the cellulose fibers. A sealant, which is filled in a sealant chamber defined in a tube adjacently to an air chamber, contains synthetic fibers and cellulose fibers in a solvent. The content of the synthetic fibers is in a range of from 75 to 90 wt % and the content of the cellulose fiber is in a range of from 25 to 10 wt %. Since the sealant is filled in the sealant chamber having a capacity significantly smaller than that of the air chamber, the separation of the synthetic fibers due to a centrifugal force substantially exert no adverse effect on the characteristics of the sealant. Accordingly, the content of the cellulose fibers can be set at such a minimum value so as to block a large puncture hole. As a result, it is possible to reduce the cost by reducing the content of the cellulose fibers.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2000Date of Patent: July 24, 2001Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Akiko Tanaka, Toshio Yamagiwa
