Abstract

See full text

A system for improving the viscosity of coating materials comprised of coaxial hoses inserted in a coating material supply hose. A heating fluid is continuously circulated through the coaxial hoses to heat a thin film of coating material in the supply hose. The heating fluid, preferably deionized water, heats the coating material to a preselected temperature to provide optimum viscosity for highest coating efficiency. An emulsifier added to the heating fluid improves heat retention and flow rates by improving lubricity. The coaxial hose heating system is connected to the coating material through a coupling and distributor block that allows easy removal for repair, replacement or use without the hose heater.
