Application of dissolved polyurethane to plastic and glass vessels - enhances strength to permit weight reduction, lower cost manufacture and transport

In a process to coat glass or plastic bottles with plastic, the novelty is that the bottle or other vessel is first coated with a polyurethane polymer dissolved in an aromatic or aliphatic-based solvent which is allowed to harden with heat if required. The bottle is dunked in the soln. one or more times and polymerisation takes place at 230 deg.C. and the coating is allowed to harden at between 180 and 230 deg.C.. USE/ADVANTAGE - The process facilitates the application of a plastic coating to glass vessels. The plastic so applied greatly improves the surface finish and in partic. the ability to withstand high pressure by sealing the so-called Griffith fractures. Further, the bottle wt. can be reduced by a half with no loss of strength, to reduce mfg. and transport costs. The resulting plastic coating resists scratching and adheres very well to glass surfaces.

Method for e.g. wetting interior surface of stator of e.g. electric motor with active liquids, involves producing pressure difference between gas pressures of gas areas, where difference is maintained in non-zero value

The method involves subjecting outside fluid levels (33) of a bath (31) surrounding an exterior surface of a component (2) with gas pressure of an external gas area (43). Internal fluid levels of the bath in an interior surface of the component are subjected with gas pressure of an internal gas area. A pressure difference is produced between the gas pressures of the external and internal gas areas for achieving different internal and outside fluid levels during an operational sequence, where pressure difference is maintained in a time-wise and phase-wise non-zero value. An independent claim is also included for a device for wetting and/or sealing an interior surface and/or an exterior surface of hollow components.
