Described is a preferred method for manufacturing a coal tar enamel-coated steel pipe, in which a primer coat of epoxy resin is applied to a preheated steel pipe, and coal tar enamel is applied to the primer coat prior to full curing of the latter. The resulting coated steel pipes, which also are described, exhibit excellent resistance to cathodic disbondment, heat and water.

Coal tar enamel coated steel pipe and process for same

Described is a method for manufacturing a coal tar enamel-coated steel pipe, in which a primer coat of epoxy resin is applied to a preheated steel pipe, and coal tar enamel is applied to the primer coat prior to full curing of the latter. The resulting coated steel pipes, which also are described, exhibit excellent resistance to cathodic disbondment, heat and water. In some embodiments the primer includes a silane coupling agent.

Coal tar enamel coated steel pipe and process for producing same

Described are novel triethylenediamine adducts of certain 4-hydroxy-substituted, 3,5-hydroxy-substituted and 2,3,4-hydroxy-substituted benzoic acid derivatives, and novel boron trifluoride complexes with cyclic amidines, which are useful for the conversion of thermosettable compositions. Also described are novel thermosettable compositions incorporating the adducts and complexes.

Triethylenediamine and bicyclic amidine based catalysts and use in

Described are several preferred acid salts and complexes of N,N-dimethylpyridine (DMAP) and 4-(4-methyl-1-piperidinyl)pyridine (MPP) which are useful as curing agents or as accelerators in preferred epoxy resin curing processes. Also described are particularly preferred processes for forming cured epoxy resin materials which are advantageously employed in large production line scale operations, and curable coating compositions.
