An icephobic coating composition forms a coating layer that melts ice and snow upon contract and remains durable after several exposures to winter storms. The icephobic coating composition includes about 2.5% to about 12.5% by weight of latex polymer solids; about 30% to about 70% by weight of an inorganic halide salt; about 15% to about 50% by weight water; and about 1% to about 15% by weight of an organic co-solvent selected from glycerin, glycols, and glycol ethers. An alternative icephobic coating composition includes about 1% to about 20% by weight of a solution polymer instead of a latex polymer, and about 10% to about 40% by weight of a VOC-exempt organic solvent instead of the foregoing water and co-solvent.

A coated pipe to transmit produced fluids in a system configured to recover hydrocarbons from a subterranean formation may include a pipe component configured to transmit the produced fluids and having an internal surface defining an inner diameter of the pipe component; and a coating deposited on the internal surface of the pipe component and configured to extend the life of the pipe component by mitigating erosion caused by the produced fluids during transmission thereof.

Invention patent for a shoe sole rubber paint composition, characterized by comprising a mixture of 35-48% PVC resin, 30-40% dioctyl terephthalate DOTP-based plasticizer, 1-3% calcium/zinc tris (nonylphenyl) phosphite stabilizer, 15-30% nitric rubber powder and 1-4% non-toxic organic pigment, a process for manufacturing shoe soles using said composition and a shoe sole product resulting from said process.

A pavement repair system is provided utilizing solid phase auto regenerative cohesion and homogenization by liquid asphalt oligopolymerization technologies. The system is suitable for use in repairing asphalt pavement, including pavement exhibiting a high degree of deterioration (as manifested in the presence of potholes, cracks, ruts, or the like) as well as pavement that has been subject to previous repair and may comprise a substantial amount of dirt and other debris (e.g., chipped road paint or other damaged or disturbed surfacing materials). A system utilizing homogenization by liquid asphalt oligopolymerization is suitable for rejuvenating or repairing aged asphalt, thereby improving properties of the paving material.
