Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for manufacturing artificial stone of a polymeric resin and an inorganic filler, wherein the one or a plurality silicon compounds are added to the mass of polymeric resin and inorganic filler, which mass is then placed in a mould and is cured.
Abstract:
A composite building material includes carpet waste having carpet fibers and adhesive, and an inorganic filler that includes fly ash. The composite building material may be produced by providing the carpet waste, mixing the carpet waste with the inorganic filler to produce a homogeneous blend, and forming the homogeneous blend into the composite building material. The composite building material may optionally include a base polymer, slack wax, and/or calcium carbonate.
Abstract:
A composite high temperature insulator (A) includes a planar layer (10) having anisotropic thermal conductivity properties. A second planar layer (12) is formed from a rigid insulation material, such as a carbonized mixture of carbon fibers and a binder. The second layer is coextensive with the first layer and is preferably bonded thereto by a carbonaceous cement (44). When used to insulate a heat source, such as a furnace (50), convective heat is directed back to the source by the reflective surface (16) of the inner, anisotropic layer (10). Heat which enters the anisotropic layer is dissipated evenly through the plane of the layer along a plurality of heat paths defined by a plurality of layers (14) of flexible graphite. Accordingly, heat which reaches the outer, second layer (12) results in fewer hot spots than occur with a conventional rigid insulation material, thereby reducing the total amount of insulation material required to achieve a desired level of thermal insulation.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to castable refractory compositions based on magnesia aggregates. The compositions according to the invention consist of a plurality of dry components and a plurality of wet components, said castable refractory composition comprising, based on the total weight of the castable refractory composition, between 50 wt. % and 99 wt. % of a magnesia aggregate material; between 0.1 wt. % and 10 wt. % carbonaceous material; between 0.1 wt. % and 5 wt. % antioxidant; and a non¬ aqueous binder. The compositions according to the invention comprise no more than 2 wt.-% water; the fixed carbon in the composition is no more than about 10 wt.-%, and the antioxidant is selected from one or more carbide materials, nitride materials, boride materials, metals or metal alloys, or from combinations thereof. Also part of the present invention is the use of the compositions in casting, vibration casting, spray-casting, gunning, self-flowing, ramming, shotcrete or patching processes, and their method of formation.
Abstract:
In a method for curing mineral wool that is mixed binder through microwaves, generating additional heat through installation of microwave active substances es performed through curing the binder material.
Abstract:
The present invention is related to compositions and production process of refractory paints containing fused bauxite and/or fused alumina, PVA and/or phenolic resin, water or alcohol as solvent and thixotropic agent, developed with the purpose of painting males and moulds of silica sand, chromite and zirconium for fusing of carbon steels, high alloy, low alloy steels, manganese and irons and that can be used for all types of steel. These paints may also contain zirconium, magnesite and aluminium silicate.
Abstract:
A paving material for filling gaps between paving blocks or the like, the paving material comprising a powdered or granulated mixture of: inert particulate; a water-soluble resin formable from a polymerisation reaction between formaldehyde and an at least difunctional nucleophile; and a water-soluble acid. The paving material is filled into gaps between blocks and then liquid water is applied thereto, or the sand is exposed to ambient humidity (gaseous water). Upon contact with the water, the resin coats the sand and then sets hard, thereby stabilising the block paving.

Ein erfindungsgemäßer Verbundwerkstoff enthält mindestens ein hydrophobes Aerogel-Granulat, welches mit mindestens einem polymeren Binder gemischt wird. Ein solcher Werkstoff weißt eine Dichte im Bereich von 50 bis 250 kg/m3 auf und hat einen U-Wert von 0,6 bis 1 bei einer Baudicke von 5 cm.
Abstract:
A cured phenolic resin may be prepared by reacting (1) an esterified phenolic compound containing one or more phenolic hydroxyl groups and/or one or more esterified phenolic hydroxyl groups and further containing one or more esterified methylol groups ortho and/or para to the (esterified) phenolic hydroxyl group and (2) a phenolic resole resin in the presence of a base and water and/or other polar solvent. This technique may be used in the production of phenolic-based adhesives, foundry moulding compositions, surface coatings, foams and proppants.
