A process for repair of leaking fuel tanks containing gasoline, diesel fuel, and benzene ethyl alcohol mixtures has been incorporated which makes it economically feasible for repair of all fuel tanks made of metal. The process includes prepairing the fuel tanks by steam cleaning, sand blasting, applying liquid polyvinyl chloride and special curing process. This process completely envelopes the fuel tank in a plastic cover which adheres to the metal of the tank and seals off any fuel leaks.

Elastomers are plasticized with a polymerizable monomer, in homogeneous admixture therewith, by adding the monomer to a latex of the elastomer, free of polymerization initiator, followed by coagulation of the monomer and polymer solids. The coagulated solids recovered from the latex may be compounded with a polymerization initiator for the monomer and a vulcanizing agent for the polymer and, optionally, an inorganic filler, and shaped into the desired product form. Polymerization of the polymer ...

A pipe coating process capable of coating a pipe string after installing it in a well comprises wetting the pipe string walls with a hydrocarbon liquid containing an initially soluble block copolymer of elastomeric and glassy blocks plus a crosslinking agent for solidifying the polymer, and heating the liquid to solidify the polymer.

Substrates are coated by heating the substrates to temperatures of 120.degree.-260.degree. C. and dipping them into a bath of polyvinyl fluoride dispersed in latent solvent at temperatures below 100.degree. C.

A multipackage system for providing a refinish coating composition and a method for applying the same onto a substrate. The method comprises separately transporting at least one component under pressure to a proportioning device which provides a controlled volumetric ratio of the components. The components of the coating composition are then mixed and coated onto the substrate at ambient temperature or, to accelerate curing, at moderate temperatures. The compositions involve new or modified exis...

A process for forming a low smoke, low erosion rocket motor insulation comprising mixing organic fiber selected from the group polyaramid and polybenzimidazole; an inorganic powder filler; a vulcanizable hydrocarbon elastomer and a non-fluorinated phosphazene polymer of the formula ##STR1## where Q and Q' are the same or different and are substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy or aryloxy and Q" is a group having olefinic unsaturation.

The present invention relates to a coating composition comprising (A) at least one hydroxyl-containing component which [lacuna] of (A1) from 5 to 60% by weight of at least one polyester and (A2) from 40 to 95% by weight of at least one polyacrylate resin which has been prepared at least partially in the presence of component (A1) and (B) at least one crosslinking agent, characterized in that component (A2) is obtainable from the monomer units: (a) a cycloaliphatic ester of (meth)acrylic acid, (b...

Carbon steel substrates are protected from corrosive environments by a coating of nonconductive poly(aniline) which has been chemically prepared and cast onto the substrate from solution. The coating can also include other polymers which are miscible with the poly(aniline) but do not protonate it so as to make it conductive. Such polymers can include polyimides, epoxies, and urethane linked diisocyanates, among others. In these blends, a weight composition of at least 5% poly(aniline) to the oth...

A multi-component waterborne corrosion resistant coating composition used as an organic zinc rich primer for protecting metal substrate from corrosion. The composition includes zinc dust, a crosslinking component and a polymeric component produced from a low Tg polymer and an amine functional curing agent. These components of the composition are stored separately and then mixed prior to applying the coat of the composition over metal substrate. The coating composition of the present invention ha...

The invention relates to a process for the production of coatings based on polymers having a hydantoin structure by reacting blocked polyisocyanate carrying carbodiimide and/or uretone imine groups with .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated diicarboxylic acids or derivatives thereof at 50.degree. to 700.degree. C. said reaction being carried out on the substrate to be coated.
