Abstract: Powder product for the protection of molds for centrifugal casting of cast iron tubes, and a method for its production. The powder contains a mixture of a silicon-based inoculating agent and a mineral powder, the silicon-based inoculating product comprising waste masses from synthesis of alkyl- or aryl- halosilanes, from which tin and optionally copper has been removed. The mineral powder may contain at least one material selected from the group consisting of carbon and a fluoride.

Abstract: The process for simultaneously molding and rendering water-repellent molded components made of concrete, mortar, cement or the like consists, before pouring the concrete, cement or the like, in covering the interior of the mold with a composition comprising a resin which is a silicone copolymer in the absence of crosslinking agent of hydrolysable silane type and of curing catalyst in the composition. Molded component thus obtained and compositions for removing from the mold and rendering water-repellent.

Abstract: This invention provides a release agent for low speed casting, which does not pollute working environment, has a superior running property and lubricating property and further shows a superior cleanability of a die.

Abstract: Method for on-mold surface coating fiberglass-reinforced molded articles during their manufacture with environmentally friendly and physiologically safe thermosetting unsaturated polyester on-mold coating powders which serve as replacements for liquid gel coats. The thermosetting coating powders employed are adapted to cure at low temperatures to avoid causing thermal damage to the heat sensitive plastic molds which must be reused over and over again, and to cure in the presence of atmospheric oxygen to enable over coating with liquid fill resins and fiberglass, which constitute the bulk of the finished article, without having the fill resins bleed through the powder coating film and detrimentally affect the overall quality of the surface finish.

Abstract: No-bake inorganic binder compositions for binding particulate material and methods for curing such inorganic binders. The inorganic binder compositions are composed of silicate and phosphate components. The no-bake compositions further contain curing catalyst such as a catalyst selected from the group consisting of aliphatic carbonates, cyclic alkylene carbonates, aliphatic carboxylic acid esters, cyclic carboxylic acid esters, phosphate esters and mixtures thereof. The composition produces a binder having the advantageous strength properties of a silicate binder system with the water breakdown properties of a phosphate binder system. Thus, relative to an all-silicate binder system, the present invention has improved mechanical shakeout and improved water collapsibility. Also, relative to conventional all-phosphate binder system, the present invention has superior hot strength, i.e., the foundry cores and molds do not soften at elevated temperatures.

Abstract: Silicone mold release compositions which are a stable blend of hydrophobic-modified organopolysiloxane and an aminoorgano- or mercaptoorgano-functional organopolysiloxane, or a solution in organic solvent of a stable or unstable blend, provide exceptional mold release properties while retaining paintability of molded parts.

Abstract: A lubricant for use in lubricating the shot sleeve of a machine for die casting molten metals is in the form of agglomerated particles. The particles have an inorganic high pressure lubricant agglomerated, with a binder material and with an organic material. The solid lubricant is resistant to dusting, caking and breakage, can be fed through an automatic dispensing machine, and combines inorganic and organic materials to achieve excellent lubrication properties. The product has low flash and low smoke release into the environment.

Abstract: A composition useful as a parting agent for concrete formwork is provided. The composition comprises water; a completely or predominantly unsaturated fatty alcohol containing 6 to 22 carbon atoms and with an iodine value of 40 to 200; and an alkyl or alkenyl oligoglycoside having an alkyl or alkenyl group containing 4 to 22 carbon atoms, a sugar unit containing 5 or 6 carbon atoms and a degree of oligomerization of 1 to 10. The parting agent is particularly storage-stable at low temperatures.

Abstract: A method for preparing a mould lubricant for use in direct chill casting of reactive metals, including magnesium, magnesium alloys, aluminum, and aluminum alloys, proceeds through combining a casting lubricant and a gaseous oxidation-inhibiting agent in a vessel external from the mold under vacuum conditions. The casting lubricant is selected from a variety of casting oils and casting greases. The gaseous oxidation-inhibiting agent is selected from a variety of inert gases, including sulfur hexafluoride (SF6).

Abstract: An abutment tooth model which can improve a mold releasable property of the prosthetic restoration (releasability from an abutment tooth model or a mold) and a method of manufacturing such a prosthetic restoration are provided The abutment tooth model is formed of a base material such as an ultra-hard plaster (CaSO4.2H2O), and at least one oxide selected from the group comprising Zr, Y and Ca. The abutment tooth model is formed so as to be slightly larger than the abutment tooth to the extent of the degree of shrinkage of the prosthetic restoration (green body) by taking the curing expansion upon molding and the thermal expansion upon sintering into account The abutment tooth is formed using a compound in which Ti powder or Tn alloy powder is contained as its main component, and the compound is built up onto the abutment tooth model 5 so as to have a desired shape, and thus obtained green body is subjected to a debinding treatment.

Abstract: A surface of a given base material is hydrophilized by irradiating, for example, a vacuum ultraviolet light to itself. Then, on the surface is formed a monomolecular film made of a fluoroalkylsilane preferably having at least one of a long fluoroalkyl-chain and a long alkyl-chain which preferably have lengths of not less than 1 nm. Then, the base material and the monocular film are thermally treated and thereby a member having a high lubricative surface can be obtained which has strong couplings between the base material and the molecular film through a dehydrating condensation reaction.
