Abstract
A mixture curable in the presence of a metallic catalyst to provide a material for thermally insulating a substrate useable subsea. The mixture comprises from 55 to 99% by weight of a norbornene monomer and a water insoluble polymer filler. The water insoluble polymer filler comprises polystyrene or polypropylene, or derivatives thereof.
Claims13
A thermal insulating material mixture curable in the presence of a metallic catalyst for thermally insulating a subsea substrate, wherein the mixture consists essentially of:
- 5-octyl-2-norbornene;
- tricyclopentadiene;
- and
- a water insoluble polymer filler, wherein the water insoluble polymer filler comprises polystyrene or polypropylene, or derivatives thereof.
A material for thermally insulating a substrate useable subsea, wherein the material is the cured reaction product of a mixture consisting essentially of:
- 5-octyl-2-norbornene;
- tricyclopentadiene;
- and
- a water insoluble polymer filler, wherein the water insoluble polymer filler comprises polystyrene or polypropylene, or derivatives thereof.
A method, wherein the method comprises:
- forming a mixture consisting essentially of:
- 5-octyl-2-norbornene, tricyclopentadiene and a water insoluble polymer filler by mixing the 5-octyl-2-norbornene, tricyclopentadiene, and water insoluble polymer filler, wherein the water insoluble polymer filler comprises polystyrene or polypropylene, or derivatives thereof;
- allowing the mixture to cure in the presence of a metallic catalyst to provide a material for thermally insulating a substrate useable subsea.
