Latest Patents
One of Bruno Kindl's latest patents focuses on the protection of substrates that are susceptible to corrosion caused by chemical agents in gas-containing and/or gas-generating media. This innovative approach involves applying a coating of gas-permeable elastomeric or plastic material to the substrate. The design includes means for the escape of gases permeating the coating, which helps maintain the adhesion of the coating to the substrate. The coating is preferably applied first to a porous backing material, such as woven glass cloth, allowing the pores to remain open for gas escape. This laminate of coating and porous backing material is then adhesively secured to the substrate, ensuring that the pores are partly open to facilitate gas escape. This invention is particularly applicable to the lining of electrolytic cells, cell tanks, submerged buswork, and associated equipment, as well as chemical process vessels, equipment, piping, and valves used in the production and handling of chemicals.
