20120077922 | Amino Alkoxy-Modified Silsesquioxane Adhesives For Improved Metal Adhesion And Metal Adhesion Retention To Cured Rubber - Amino alkoxy-modified silsesquioxanes (amino AMS), and/or amino co-AMS compounds that also comprise a mercaptosilane or a blocked mercaptosilane, are excellent adhesives for coating plated or unplated metal wire for adherence of the wire to a rubber stock. The amino AMS and/or the amino/mercaptan co-AMS adhesives can be used with all types of rubber and there is no requirement for the use of special adhesive additives to the rubber vulcanizates, such as, but not limited to, cobalt, resins and high sulfur levels. In particular, the use of amino AMS and/or amino/mercaptan co-AMS compounds as adhesives for bonding wire to rubber also improves the adherence performance of the reinforcements to obtain sufficient bonding that is resistant to degradation over the course of time, especially resistance to thermal aging and/or thermo-oxidizing aging, in particular corrosion in the presence of water. Vulcanized rubber compositions that contain an amino AMS and/or amino/mercaptan co-AMS compound also have improved adhesion to embedded uncoated steel after humidity aging compared with vulcanized rubber compositions not containing the amino alkoxy-modified silsesquioxane. | 03-29-2012 |
20120108736 | RUBBER COMPOSITIONS INCLUDING A POLYMERIC COMPONENT HAVING A MULTI-MODAL MOLECULAR WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION - A vulcanizable composition of matter comprising a rubber component, a filler, a curative for the rubber, where the rubber component includes a multi-modal polymer including at least two distinct peak molecular weights within a range defined by a lower limit of 80 kg/mole and an upper limit of 500 kg/mole. | 05-03-2012 |
20120252979 | Process for Producing Blends of Syndiotactic, 1,2-Polybutadiene and Rubbery Elastomers - Blends of syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene and rubbery elastomers are prepared by a process that comprises polymerizing 1,3-butadiene monomer into syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene within a rubber cement of an elastomeric terpolymer by using a chromium-based, molybdenum-based, or iron-based catalyst composition. Polymer composition comprising the blend with improved properties is also provided. | 10-04-2012 |
20130172446 | INTERMESHING MIXING OF FILLER AND POLYMER SOLUTION MASTERBATCH - A method includes: mixing a polymer cement and a filler to form a solution masterbatch; optionally drying the solution masterbatch to form a crumb polymer composition; mixing a low viscosity polymeric or oligomeric liquid into the solution masterbatch or crumb polymer composition; and intermeshing mixing the solution masterbatch or crumb polymer composition. | 07-04-2013 |

20100123027 | BLADED COAL DIFFUSER AND COAL LINE BALANCING DEVICE - A coal nozzle assembly for a pulverized coal burner includes a diffuser. A flow conditioner also may be used with the assembly. The assembly conditions the coal/air flow before the coal/air flow is introduced to the furnace. The flow conditioner directs the coal into the diffuser where it is swirled to form a fuel rich outer ring disposed about an air rich inner portion before the fuel is delivered to the coal nozzle. | 05-20-2010 |
20140373763 | BURNER WITH FLAME STABILIZING/CENTER AIR JET DEVICE FOR LOW QUALITY FUEL - The present disclosure relates to a center air jet burner for burning low quality fuel including an annular pipe having a fuel inlet and a fuel outlet. A core pipe that includes a first opening and an opposite second opening that defines an inner zone, the core pipe extends within the annular pipe defining a first annular zone. A burner elbow is configured to supply a fuel airflow mixture including pulverized coal and primary air to the fuel inlet and the first opening. The first opening of the core pipe is eccentrically aligned relative to the fuel inlet of the annular pipe such that the fuel airflow mixture passing through the burner elbow is divided into an outer fuel rich stream having an increased amount of pulverized coal within the first annular zone and an inner fuel-lean stream having an increased amount of primary air within the inner zone. | 12-25-2014 |
