A curing agent includes a polyisocyanate. The polyisocyanate is obtained by reaction of a polyester polyol and a diisocyanate. The polyester polyol has 500 to 2,000 of a weight average molecular weight and 5% to 10% of a hydroxyl group content.

A method of treating, tuning, assembling, and/or overhauling a twin rotor device includes applying a coating material on an internal set of working surfaces of the twin rotor device when at least partially assembled. The coating may be factory or field applied to a new or used twin rotor device. The working surfaces may be uncoated or previously coated and may be built-up as the coating material forms a coating on at least some of the working surfaces. Manufacturing variations of a pair of rotors and a housing may be compensated by the coating. One or more performance characteristics of the twin rotor device may be improved by the coating, and variation between a series of twin rotor device may be reduced or substantially eliminated. The coating may reduce internal leakage and increase volumetric efficiency of the twin rotor device. The twin rotor device may be a supercharger 200, a screw compressor 1200, or other twin rotor device.

The invention relates to ultrasonic welding tongs (10) for performing ultrasonic welding on a tubular electrically conductive welding medium (20), wherein a first welding jaw or a second welding jaw and a welding-medium stop device (21), which delimits a welding-medium holding space (19) formed between the welding jaws, are each electrically conductive and arranged electrically isolated from each other, the electrically conductive welding jaw and the electrically conductive welding-medium stop device forming components of a safety circuit in such a manner that a welding process including a closing of the welding jaws is triggered after the safety circuit has been closed by the formation of an electrical contact between the electrically conductive welding jaw and the welding-medium stop device by way of the welding medium.

Disclosed is a refinishing kit for automobile paint systems including at least two markers, a reservoir with an opening, a valve which can close and open the reservoir, and a marker tip, where the reservoir includes a coating material. The valve can be reversibly opened by exerting pressure, so that the coating material can be discharged from the reservoir. The marker tip and the valve are connected, such that a pressure exerted on the marker tip is transmitted to the valve and coating material can be conveyed by way of the opening of the valve into the marker tip. Material conveyed into the marker tip can pass through the tip and can be transferred onto an area requiring refinish. One of the markers includes a coating material providing a color and/or a special effect, and the second marker includes a UV-curable clearcoat material.

The present invention relates to a UV coating layer hardening device for hardening of a coating in a repair workshop for an automobile by means of UV radiation suitable for irradiating of a coating layer to be hardened that is applied to a surface of the automobile, including: a number of bearer elements for bearing of a number of LED based UV radiation sources, optics per radiation source for spreading of the UV radiation at a predetermined manner under an irradiation angle, the number of UV radiation sources in cooperation with the respective optics per radiation source are arranged in such a manner that a predetermined area of the surface is arrangeable with an intensity or intensity per time period with a predetermined minimum and a predetermined maximum, in which the minimum provides a predetermined degree of hardening and in which the maximum does not exceed a certain threshold.

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed relating to the delivery of primer compounds in liquid form to substrates from a hand-held device. Apparatuses are disclosed that, in a single barrel device, store primer components, mix primer components to achieve an activated primer, and deliver the activated primer to a substrate surface.

A method for repairing a structure comprising at least one zone to be heated and which comprises the steps of inflating a frame to form a framework, attaching panels removably to the frame to form an enclosure referred to as a heating enclosure, positioning the enclosure over the zone, heating the interior space of the enclosure using a heating device.

A method of treating, tuning, assembling, and/or overhauling a twin rotor device (200, 1200) includes applying a coating material (102) on an internal set of working surfaces (218, 222, 224, 226, 228, 1218, 1222, 1224, 1226, 1228) of the twin rotor device when at least partially assembled. The coating may be factory or field applied to a new or used twin rotor device. The working surfaces may be uncoated or previously coated and may be built-up as the coating material forms a coating (206, 1206) on at least some of the working surfaces. Manufacturing variations of a pair of rotors (220, 1220) and a housing (210, 1210) may be compensated by the coating. One or more performance characteristics of the twin rotor device may be improved by the coating, and variation between a series of twin rotor device may be reduced or substantially eliminated. The coating may reduce internal leakage and increase volumetric efficiency of the twin rotor device. The twin rotor device may be a supercharger 200, a screw compressor 1200, or other twin rotor device.

The present invention provides an oxidative polymerization resin-based composite coating film capable of being renewed a number of times by peeling a coating-film surface layer. More specifically, a coating composition comprising a base resin composition containing an oxidative polymerization resin; an organic compound having a melting point of 5 to 150 C.; a dryer; and an oxidative polymerization inhibitor containing at least one of a dryer protectant and a radical inhibitor is used to form a composite coating film made up of a cured film layer and an uncured inner layer.

A device (1) for introducing a plugging compound (20) into a borehole (21), the device having a sleeve (2) with a cavity (3) for receiving the plugging compound (20). On one side, the sleeve (2) has a discharge opening (5), corresponding to the cavity (3), for discharging the plugging compound (20), and a support section (7), projecting laterally from the sleeve, for providing a support option for the sleeve (2) during introduction of the plugging compound (20). On the opposite side of the sleeve (2), an upper opening (4) is provided, through which a piston (16) together with a feed plate (18) protrudes into the cavity (3). The piston (16) is movable relative to the sleeve (2) in such a way that the feed plate (18) can be displaced in the cavity (3), for example to allow the plugging compound (20) to be received and dispensed.
