49619918, Oct 9, 1990

Filed:

Jan 29, 1990

Appl. No.:

7/471531

Inventors:

Ronald A. Howard - Brook Park OH

Assignee:

Ucar Carbon Technology Corporation - Danbury CT

International Classification:

B32B 3106

US Classification:

428246

Abstract:

A flexible graphite laminate suitable for use as gaskets in which a polymer resin coated cloth, such as polytetrafluroethylene coated fiber glass cloth, is disposed and bonded between two sheets of flexible graphite material. A method for producing the flexible graphite laminate is also disclosed.

US Patent:

58308091, Nov 3, 1998

Filed:

Jul 3, 1996

Appl. No.:

8/674897

Inventors:

Ronald Albert Howard - Brook Park OH
Robert Angelo Mercuri - Seven Hills OH

Assignee:

UCAR Carbon Technology Corporation - Danbury CT

International Classification:

B32B 700

US Classification:

442 59

Abstract:

Method and assembly for reinforcing flexible graphite by fusion bonding a film of thermoplastic polymer to the flexible graphite to form a laminiated product. One side of the thermoplastic polymer is raised to its softening temperature to cause it to bond to the flexible graphite while the opposite side thereof is maintained at a temperature below its softening point.

US Patent:

51768631, Jan 5, 1993

Filed:

Aug 6, 1991

Appl. No.:

7/742641

Inventors:

Ronald A. Howard - Brook Park OH

Assignee:

Ucar Carbon Technology Corporation - Danbury CT

International Classification:

B29C 4300

US Classification:

264113

Abstract:

A fire retardant flexible graphite composite is formed from particles of exfoliated flexible graphite and particles of unexfoliated graphite flake treated with an intercalating agent in a desired ratio based upon the strength and desired fire retardant properties of the composite. A wall or floor covering is formed by compressing the composite into a sheet and rolled into a roll.

Assignee:

Ucar Carbon Technology Corporation - Danbury CT

International Classification:

C01B 3104

US Classification:

423449

Abstract:

A process for forming pinhole free ultra-thin flexible sheet material from natural graphite comprising treating low ash natural graphite particles with an oxidizing agent to intercalate the graphite, introducing the particles after they are dried to less than 2% by weight water into a furnace preheated to at least 2000. degree. F. to cause rapid expansion to a specific volume of at least 800 cc/gm and compressing the expanded graphite to below 8 mils in thickness with a density of less than 1. 3 g/cc.

Ronald A. Howard - Brook Park OH

Assignee:

UCAR Carbon Technology Corporation - Danbury CT

International Classification:

B32B 900

US Classification:

428408

Abstract:

A unitary composite structure having improved flexural strength and a reduced coefficient of thermal expansion comprising a heterogeneous combination of a carbonaceous reinforcing material interbonded with a matrix material, wherein the said matrix material is a poorly graphitizing carbonaceous pitch containing polymerized and cross-linked aromatic components is disclosed. Graphite electrodes comprised of the poorly graphitized pitch matrix material acting as a binder and/or an impregnant are also disclosed. Processes for the preparation of the poorly graphitizing pitch, the composite structure, and particularly the graphite electrodes are disclosed as well.

Appl. No.:

7/589614

Inventors:

Ronald A. Howard - Brook Park OH

Assignee:

Ucar Carbon Technology Corporation - Danbury CT

International Classification:

C09D 300

US Classification:

106285

Abstract:

A pipe thread sealant paste composition comprising from about 30 to about 80 percent by weight of natural flake graphite particles of a size sufficient to pass through a 100 Tyler mesh sieve and a liquid carrier comprising a mixture of mineral oil and petrolatum. The paste composition preferably having a total ash content of no greater than about 1 percent by weight and containing leachable chlorides in amounts equal to or less than about 50 parts per million. The invention also relates to a method for preparing and applying the pipe thread sealant paste to pipe joints.
