The present invention relates to an aqueous tire dressing composition comprising an acrylic resin, a polyacrylate, and a liquid carrier, and also to a method of treating a surface of a tire. The method of treating a surface of a tire comprises applying a first coat of the aqueous tire dressing composition to the surface of the tire, allowing the aqueous tire dressing to dry for an effective period of drying time, applying a second coat of the aqueous tire dressing composition to the surface of the tire, and allowing the aqueous tire dressing to cure for an effective period of curing time for achieving a clear, tack-free protective layer on the surface of the tire.

The invention relates to a method for functionalising a surface of a solid substrate with at least one acrylic acid polymer layer, said method including the steps of: i) placing the surface in contact with a solution having of at least one acrylic acid homopolymer, a solvent and, optionally, metal salts; ii) removing the solvent from the solution in contact with the surface; and iii) binding the polymer to the surface by thermal treatment.

The present invention relates to a multilayer construction containing a support or frame composed of a nontransparent polymer as layer c) and a transparent layer b) based on a thermoplastic polymer having a solar transmittance TDS of more than 20%, determined in accordance with ISO 13837:2008 at a layer thickness of 4 mm, and a siloxane-based protective layer a) which is applied to layer c) and layer b), wherein the siloxane layer a) is selectively postcured in selected regions by means of ultrashort-wave UV radiation, and to a method for selective surface treatment.

Base coats, methods of using base coats, and methods of producing base coats are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a method of producing a base coat includes forming a CPO intermediate and a color intermediate. The CPO intermediate includes a chlorinated polyolefin at from about 5 to about 20 weight percent, based on a total weight of the CPO intermediate, as well as a CPO solvent. The color intermediate includes a color imparting additive and a color solvent that is different than the CPO solvent. The CPO intermediate and the color intermediate are combined to form the base coat, where the base coat includes from about 1 to about 3 weight percent chlorinated polyolefin and from about 5 to about 30 weight percent solids, based on a total weight of the base coat.

A device includes a substrate and a hydrophilic polymer layer made of a hydrophilic polymer having a hydroxyl group. The hydrophilic polymer layer having a hydroxyl group is fixed to at least a part of a surface of the substrate and the hydrophilic polymer further has an amide group. A liquid film retention time of the device is 15 seconds or more. The device has a surface of a substrate which is hydrophilized. A method for producing the device by a simple method is also disclosed.

A pipe lining having at least two material layers, a first elastomeric layer spray applied directly to the inside of a pipe which acts as a hydrophobic, ductile membrane, and a second rigid layer is spray applied to the first layer prior to complete curing of the first layer. One or more additional layers may be applied to the second layer to provide additional abrasion, erosion or chemical resistance to the second layer. An intermediate reinforcing layer may be disposed between the first and second layers. The first layer cures into a closed cell elastomeric foam, such that stress and other forces are not passed from the pipe to the rigid second layer.

A method for producing an anti-fouling coating film includes: a step (1) of applying a fine uneven layer forming agent containing at least one type of polysilazane as at least one type of silica raw material on at least one surface of a base substrate, the aforementioned at least one surface comprising at least one type of resin, to form a fine uneven layer containing silica and polysilazane; a step (2) of applying a modification layer forming agent containing a reactive organic compound and polysiloxane or perfluoropolyether on a surface of the fine uneven layer obtained in the step (1), to form a modification layer containing polysiloxane or perfluoropolyether, and a step (3) of applying lubricating oil containing silicone oil or fluorinated oil on a surface of the modification layer obtained in the step (2), to form a lubricating oil layer.

In slot-die coating, shrinkage of a PVA film when heating after the application of a PVA solution onto an anchor layer formed on the outer surface of a preform for a plastic bottle is suppressed. A leveling agent such as a siloxane is added to the PVA solution.

The present invention relates to multicoat paint systems comprising basecoats and clearcoats with high solids fractions that each comprise at least one sulfonic acid compound of formula (I) or formula (II). The invention further relates to a method of producing these multicoat paint systems and to their use, and also to substrates coated with the multicoat paint system. The invention relates, furthermore, to the use of the sulfonic acid compounds of formula (I) and formula (II) in basecoats and clearcoats with high solids fractions.
