Abstract
A tri-function, self-sealing, anti-leakage and fire-extreme-heat-protective coating for, and applicable to the outside of, a liquid-fuel container, including (a) an inner layer portion with a structural propensity for sealing inwardly directed container puncture wounds, (b) an intermediate layer portion with a structural propensity for sealing outwardly directed container puncture wounds, and (c) an outer layer portion with combined structural propensities (1) for sealing all-direction container puncture wounds and (2) for minimizing heat rise within a protected container due to a fire or an extreme heat condition adjacent the outside of the container.
Claims4
Tri-function, plural-intercooperative-layer barrier coating structure applicable to the outside surface of the wall in a combustible-liquid container for protecting against consequences resulting from container-puncture-wound-induced liquid leakage, and container exposure to fire or extreme, nearby heat, said coating structure, in operative condition relative to such a surface, comprising
- an inner, plural-layer portion disposed immediately operatively adjacent the mentioned container-wall surface, structured generally for liquid-reactive, self-sealing behavior regarding both entering and exiting container-wall puncture wounds, while possessing a specific structural propensity for handling entering container-wall puncture wounds,
- an intermediate, puncture-flower-indifferent, plural-layer portion disposed immediately, operatively, and outwardly adjacent said inner layer portion relative to the container-wall surface, also structured generally for liquid-reactive, self-sealing behavior regarding both entering and exiting container-wall puncture wounds, while possessing a specific structural propensity for handling exiting container-wall puncture wounds, and
- an outer, plural-layer portion disposed immediately, operatively, and outwardly adjacent said intermediate layer portion relative to said inner layer portion, also structured generally for liquid-reactive, self-sealing behavior regarding both entering and exiting container-wall puncture wounds, while possessing a structural propensity also for furnishing an intumescence-response to any proximate fire or extreme heat condition disposed adjacent the container wall's outside surface.
A tri-function, self-sealing, anti-puncture-wound-leak and fire-protective coating for, and applicable to the outside of, a liquid-fuel container, comprising
- (a) an inner layer portion possessing a structural propensity for sealing inwardly directed container puncture wounds, applicable directly to the outside of a liquid-fuel container,
- (b) an intermediate layer portion possessing a structural propensity for sealing outwardly directed container puncture wounds, disposed immediately outwardly, contactively and operatively adjacent said inner layer portion, and
- (c) an outer layer portion possessing combined structural propensities (1) for sealing all-direction container puncture wounds and (2) for minimizing heat rise within a protected container due to a fire or an extreme heat condition adjacent the outside of the container, disposed immediately outwardly, contactively and operatively adjacent said inner layer portion.
