Patent number: 4096104Abstract: A finish composition for fibrous material such as carbon, graphite or silica fibers comprises an aqueous emulsion of an elastomer and a lubricious substance which are both dispersed in the aqueous emulsion. The elastomer comprises a latex of butyl rubber or butadiene/nitrile type rubbers, and the lubricious substance comprises an emulsion of a hydrocarbon type wax such as paraffin. The aqueous emulsion which includes a dispersant such as water proportioned to provide the emulsion with a solids concentration of up to about 1% is applied as a size to the fibrous material, following which the water is driven off such as by use of elevated temperatures to cause the lubricious substance to separate from the elastomer and exude to the surface of the elastomeric sheath surrounding the fibrous material. The finish may be used as an aid to weaving, in which event it is applied to fibers such as carbon or graphite fibers prior to weaving and then removed after the weaving is completed.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 1976Date of Patent: June 20, 1978Assignee: HitcoInventors: Raymond G. Spain, Albert L. Miller

Patent number: 4086087Abstract: A process of producing powdered metal parts comprising the steps:1. Preforming powdered metal parts into a desired shape;2. Treating said preformed part with a substance which can fill the pores of said powdered metal parts, said substance being immiscible with organic lubricants;3. Contacting said treated metal part with a lubricant;4. Sizing or coining the lubricated powdered metal part; and5. Washing said powdered metal part to remove said lubricant.Preferably the sized powdered metal part is also heat treated.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1976Date of Patent: April 25, 1978Inventor: Lisa Marie Morris

Patent number: 4082830Abstract: This invention relates to a strippable coating process and a coating composition therefor comprising (1) a latex, (2) a coagulant for said latex and (3) a debonding agent consisting essentially of a substantially non-volatile additive which is adhesive to at least one of either the coated substrate or coagulated coating, more soluble in water than in the coagulated latex polymer component and having a solubility parameter at least 2(calories/cc).sup.1/2 higher than the coagulated latex polymer component.The protective coating is formed by impinging a stream of a latex and a stream of a coagulant, the two streams being oppositely charged, onto a substrate. After drying an external debonding agent is applied between the coating and the substrate and thereafter the coating is stripped from the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 1974Date of Patent: April 4, 1978Assignee: W. R. Grace & Co.Inventor: Joseph A. Cogliano

Patent number: 4071639Abstract: A removable temporary coating material for providing scratch protection particularly for nuclear components is disclosed. The coating contains a methacrylic or acrylic/methacrylic polymer in a water vehicle. Selected surfactants, lubricants and reactive solubilizing agents are also included to provide the desired lubrication and scratch resistance and to provide a coating which is readily removed so as to leave no deleterious residue. Techniques for removing and recovering the coating are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 1975Date of Patent: January 31, 1978Assignee: Combustion Engineering, Inc.Inventors: David Nelson Palmer, Stanley Heikoff
