Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for adhering a preformed polymer liner to the surface of a pipe by induction heating the pipe. The liner may comprise a fluoropolymer. The liner may be applied either to the interior surface or the exterior surface of the pipe. The invention is particularly useful for adhering a liner to the interior surface of an oil well pipe. Thus with the induction heating process of present invention, it is possible to adhere a preformed liner to the interior surface of an oil well pipe which is capable of reducing-to-eliminating the deposition (buildup) of one or more of the asphaltenes, paraffin wax, and inorganic scale on the interior surface of the oil pipe. Preferably, this reduction is at least 40%, preferably at least 50% or more, for at least one of these materials as compared to the unlined oil pipe, and more preferably at least 40% for all of them. In one preferred embodiment of the process, the peel strength of the preformed liner adhered to the surface of the pipe is at least ten pounds force per inch (10 lbf/ in). In other preferred embodiments of the process, either a primer or an adhesive aid is used in adhering the preformed liner to the surface of the pipe.

Filed: 2006-08-24
Abstract: A garment seam (15) is formed between two fabric panels (10, 12) by abutting the edges of at least two panels (10, 12) and placing a strip of material (14) carrying adhesive (16) on the abutted edges to form the seam (15) . The fabric panels have opposing major surfaces, the edges of the fabric panels being minor surfaces. The strip of material (14) is applied on at least one major surface of the abutted fabric panels (10, 12) , but is optionally applied to both major surfaces of the abutted fabric panels (10, 12) . The strip of material (14) is preferably thinner than the fabric panels (10, 12) . In some embodiments, the adhesive (16) is a thermosetting adhesive that is applied on the strip of material (14) in liquid form. A seam (15) manufactured according to the present invention is less detectable through clothing than conventional multi-ply seams. Also the adhesive seam enables the manufacturer to tailor the garment to provide support or shape in a particular area (i.e. the area of the seam) in addition to providing the desirable smooth appearance. For example, when used in a brassiere (bra) cup (130), the seam allows the garment to be designed to provide optimal comfort, shape and support to the wearer .
