US Patent:

61363766, Oct 24, 2000

Filed:

Oct 23, 1998

Appl. No.:

9/178183

Inventors:

James L. Maassel - New Bavaria OH
Morton R. Smith - Napoleon OH
Windsor J. Davies - Florence AL

Assignee:

Macro Specialty Industries, Inc. - Napoleon OH

International Classification:

B05D 118
B05D 300
B05D 302

US Classification:

427318

Abstract:

A process for treating the surface of a metal roll, to extend the rolling campaign of the roll and ultimately the work life of the roll in a metal forming operation, comprises the steps of heating the metal roll surface to a temperature of at least 100 degrees F. , and enveloping the metal roll in a bath of perfluoroethylene resin and an aliphatic naphthene solvent for a time sufficient to coat the surface of the metal roll with the perfluoroethylene resin.

Assignee:

Macro Specialty Industries, Inc. - Napoleon OH

International Classification:

B05D 302

US Classification:

427318

Abstract:

A process for treating cutting tools to extend the useful duty cycles of the tools by immersing the tools to be treated in a bath of a solvent in sufficient amounts and at a temperature to remove contamination from the surface of the tools and to coat the tool surfaces with perfluoroethylene. The solvent and perfluoroethylene resin are circulated throughout the immersed tools for a time sufficient to coat the surfaces with polyfluoroethylene resin.

Appl. No.:

7/788131

Inventors:

Morton R. Smith - Napoleon OH
James L. Maassel - New Bavaria OH

International Classification:

B08B 308
B05D 722

US Classification:

427239

Abstract:

A process for converting the lubrication system of an internal combustion engine from a system using an oil containing metallic and chemical friction modifiers, to an oil substantially devoid of such modifiers. A solvent and a perfluoroethylene resin are added to the existing oil in the lubrication system of the engine in sufficient amounts to remove oil residue or varnish from the surfaces within the lubrication system, and to coat the surfaces with perfluoroethylene resin. The oil, solvent and perfluoroethylene resin are circulated throughout the lubrication system for a time sufficient to remove oil residue or varnish from the surfaces within the lubrication system of the engine, and to coat the surfaces with perfluoroethylene resin. The oil, solvent and residual perfluoroethylene resin are evacuated from the lubrication system of the engine, and an oil substantially devoid of metallic and chemical friction modifiers is added to the lubrication system of the engine.

International Classification:

B08B 308
B05D 722

US Classification:

427239

Abstract:

A process for converting a fluid system of a machine from an oil based fluid system to a water based fluid system. A solvent and perfluoroethylene resin are added to the fluid system in sufficient amounts to remove extraneous matter from and coat the surfaces within the fluid system with the perfluoroethylene resin. The oil based fluid, solvent and perfluoroethylene resin are circulated throughout the fluid system for a time sufficient to remove extraneous matter and coat the surfaces. The fluid system is evacuated of the oil based fluid, solvent and residual perfluoroethylene resin, and a water based fluid is added to the fluid system.
