With a total of 5 patents to his name, Casson has focused on developing solutions that enhance the durability of substrates exposed to corrosive environments.
Latest Patents
One of Casson's latest patents addresses the protection of substrates against corrosion. This invention involves applying a coating of gas-permeable elastomeric or plastic material to substrates that are susceptible to corrosion from chemical agents in gas-containing or gas-generating media. 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 to a porous backing material, such as woven glass cloth, allowing the pores to remain open for gas escape. This laminate is then adhesively secured to the substrate, ensuring that the pores in the backing material are partly open to facilitate gas escape. This invention is particularly applicable to the lining of electrolytic cells, cell tanks, submerged buswork, and chemical process vessels, among other equipment used in chemical production and handling.
