TANK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240263740 titled 'TANK

The patent application describes a tank with a liner made up of multiple cylindrical liner components and a reinforcing layer on the outer circumference.

• The liner components include a first component with resin layers and a heat-sealable layer containing an absorbent, and a second component with absorbent material.
• The first and second components are joined by a heat-sealing portion, with the first component laminated on the second component.

Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in the manufacturing of tanks for various industries such as automotive, chemical, and storage.

Problems Solved: - Provides a strong and durable liner for tanks that can withstand different types of liquids and chemicals. - Ensures a secure joint between the liner components for leak-proof containment.

Benefits: - Enhanced durability and longevity of tanks. - Improved safety and reliability in storing liquids and chemicals.

Commercial Applications: - This technology can be applied in the production of industrial tanks, storage containers, and transportation tanks for liquids and chemicals.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the heat-sealable layer containing an absorbent contribute to the strength of the joint between the liner components? 2. What are the specific industries that could benefit the most from this innovative tank design?

Original Abstract Submitted

the tank has a liner configured by joining a plurality of liner components, each of which is at least partially cylindrical, and a reinforcing layer arranged on the outer circumference of the liner. the plurality of liner components includes a first liner component having a first joint portion and a second liner component having a second joint portion. the first joint portion has a plurality of resin layers, and the bottom layer of the first joint portion is a heat-sealable layer containing an absorbent. the second joint portion contains absorbent material. the first joint portion is laminated on the second joint portion, and the first joint portion and the second joint portion are joined by a heat-sealing portion.
