摘要:
The present invention is directed to methods for spraying water-borne coating compositions having at least about thirty five percent by weight of the solvent fraction by using compressed fluids such as carbon dioxide and ethane, so as to decrease runs, sags and drying time in the application of coatings.
摘要:
Methods are presented by which polymeric compositions, such as coating compositions, can be sprayed with compressed fluids, such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, or ethane, at higher solids levels and with finer atomization to give improved spray application quality with reduced emission of solvent.
摘要:
The present invention relates to precursor coating compositions which are particularly suitable for being admixed with at least one supercritical fluid used as a viscosity reduction diluent and then spraying this resultant liquid mixture of supercritical fluid and precursor coating composition onto a substrate to be coated.
摘要:
This invention is directed to improved spraying apparatus for coating substrates with a coating material and supercritical fluid which apparatus is provided with various features, either alone or in combination, to prevent undesirable premature cooling of the coating mixture which might detrimentally affect the final coating on the substrate; to prevent undesirable depressurization of supercritical fluid contained in the coating mixture which remains in the spray gun after spraying has been stopped; and/or to desirably provide the ability to mix the components of the coating mixture directly in the spray gun. Methods for utilizing these features in the spraying apparatus of the present invention are also disclosed.
摘要:
The application contains subject matter related to cleaning mixtures and methods for using such cleaning mixtures to clean apparatus which contain one or more polymeric compounds wherein said cleaning mixture is comprised of at least one compressed fluid and at least one active solvent in which said at least one or more polymeric compounds are at least partially soluble and which is at least partially miscible with the at least one compressed fluid, said compressed fluid being a gas at standard conditions of 0.degree. C. and one atmosphere (STP), which cleaning mixture is in one phase and at a pressure at which the cleaning mixture is substantially near its two phase region.
摘要:
This invention relates to a method and system for proportionating, mixing, pressurizing, heating and supplying a coating formulation, wherein a microporous membrane injector/mixer located in the relevant section of the system so that undesirable precipitation of solid polymer from the coating formulation is subsequently avoided.
摘要:
An electrostatic liquid coatings application process and apparatus is provided in which supercritical fluids, such as supercritical carbon dioxide fluid, are used to reduce to application consistency viscous coatings compositions to allow for their application as liquid sprays. The coatings compositions are sprayed by passing the composition under pressure through an orifice into the environment of the substrate. The liquid spray is electrically charged by applying a high electrical voltage relative to the substrate and electric current.
摘要:
A process which comprises (i) the generation of release surfaces by application to predetermined areas of a solid surface of a solution, suspension or dispersion of a release agent and a supercritical fluid that vaporizes from the release agent, (ii) the deposition of a mass onto the release surface containing the release agent, and (iii) the separation of the mass or a product derived from the mass from such surface covered by the release agent. Novel apparatus for carrying out the process are described.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus for economically and effectively using a portion of a liquified compressed gas feedstock, such as liquid carbon dioxide, as a refrigerant to cool said liquified compressed gas feedstock so as to prevent cavitation and liquid compressibility when pumping such feedstock are disclosed.
