A curable composition for mechanical foaming has a complex viscosity η* that satisfies the following conditions (A) and (B) in frequency dependence measurement by a rheometer: condition (A): η* at 0.1 Hz and 25° C. is in a range of 1000 to 50000 Pa.Math.s; and condition (B): η* at 10.0 Hz and 25° C. is in a range of 100 to 1000 Pa.Math.s.
The curing form of the curable composition for mechanical foaming is not a moisture curing form.

The disclosure relates to a rinsing apparatus for connection to an application-agent main channel of an application-agent changeover unit and preferably for the continuous inflow of a rinsing agent into a flow of rinsing air, having a main line for transporting rinsing air and having a rinsing-agent line for transporting a rinsing agent. The rinsing apparatus is distinguished in particular in that the rinsing-agent line opens out into the main line by way of a mouth opening in order to generate a preferable y continuous flow of a rinsing-air/rinsing-agent mixture for introduction into the application-agent main channel. The disclosure also relates to a corresponding rinsing method.

Disclosed herein are methods and systems for automatically spraying a glaze solution onto a dental prosthesis. The automated spray glazing system includes: a first spray gun; a controller, and a gripper configured to hold the dental prosthesis and to rotate the dental prosthesis about an axis. The controller is configured to rotate the gripper and spray a glaze solution from the first spray gun using a glazing profile based at least in part on a type of the dental prosthesis. The glazing profile is selected such that a cross-sectional thickness of a resulting-glazed material of the dental prosthesis has an average thickness range between 15 to 63 μm and a standard deviation of less than 6 μm when measured at locations in an upper half of the dental prosthesis.

The present invention relates to an air spray device for a heterogeneous mixture coating solution without a separate stirring device. The air spray device 100 comprises: a main body 110 provided with a heterogeneous mixture coating solution inlet 111 and an inlet 112 for compressed air from the outside; an extension block 120 coupled in a downwardly extended shape at the lower end of the main body; a nozzle assembly 130 coupled at the lower end of the extension block; a communication path 140 vertically formed in the centers of the main body, the extension block and the nozzle assembly; a needle valve 150 provided inside the communication path; and a plunger 160 formed in a plate shape to be positioned in proximity to the bottom side of the communication path of the extension block to stir the heterogeneous mixture coating solution.

A liquid slurry spraying system for spraying highly viscous slurries, including those with solids content, while maintaining the slurry in agitated condition for optimum discharge. The spraying system includes a nozzle body with a liquid flow passage having a liquid slurry inlet adjacent an upstream end and a spray tip at a downstream end, a valve needle supported in the liquid flow passage for reciprocating movement between spray tip closing and opening positions, and a bladed rotor having a plurality of vanes rotatably supported on the valve needle for rotation as an incident to the direction of liquid slurry from said liquid inlet when the valve needle is in an open position for agitating the liquid slurry for direction to the spray tip.

In accordance with an example embodiment, there is disclosed herein a sprayer operable to dispense fluid from a fluid reservoir, such as a paint reservoir. The sprayer comprises a rechargeable battery pack that can be employed to provide power to a pump. The pump provides air to a nozzle assembly that is mixed with fluid from the fluid reservoir and dispensed via the nozzle assembly. In particular embodiments, the nozzle assembly comprises a disposable tip insert.

There is provided a spray unit for a remotely operable spray apparatus. The spray unit is configured to spray a material having first and second material components. The spray unit comprises a first material inlet for receiving the first material component, a second material inlet for receiving the second material component, and a spray component comprising a mixing chamber and a spray orifice. The spray component is movable between a spraying position in which the mixing chamber is in communication with the first and second material inlets such that the first and second material components enter the mixing chamber and are sprayed via the spray orifice, and a non-spraying position in which the mixing chamber is closed from the first and second material inlets. The spray unit further includes a pneumatic actuator operable to move the spray component between the spraying position and the non-spraying position, and a remotely operable electric actuator arranged to control operation of the pneumatic actuator.

A plural component spray gun system for use with a reactor having a chemical supply, a heater, a pump and a compressor, includes a trigger module with a spool valve having an air inlet and an activating outlet and an deactivating outlet; and an air body connected to the trigger module by an intermediate extending portion and having a mixing chamber to combine pressurized chemical components upon activation of a piston by pressure from the activating outlet.

A device for spraying a coating product in liquid form, includes a valve for controlling the flow of the liquid product, a piston, secured to a needle arranged to free or block a passage of liquid product, a valve body including a housing arranged to accommodate the piston, and including a control fluid supply connector arranged on the bottom dead center side of the piston, and the valve body is monolithic and further includes at least one control fluid supply channel accommodated in a side wall of the valve body and whose at least one longitudinal portion extends along part of the housing from the supply connector side to the top dead center side of the piston.
