Embodiments of the invention are related to a coating system and a method for coating a surface of a product. The system may include a coating unit, comprising; a droplet deposition assembly configured to deposit droplets of a coating material from a plurality of nozzles according to a predetermined deposition pattern, to form a coating on the surface. The system may further include a curing unit for curing at least one polymeric component included in the coating material and a control unit configured to receive the predetermined deposition pattern and control the coating unit to deposit the predetermined deposition pattern on the surface, such that the coating has a thickness deviation of less than 1 micron per 1 meter.

A method and a device for coating a metal strip with a coating material that is still liquid at first. During the coating, the coated metal strip runs through a roller pair. One of the rollers of the roller pair can be adjusted toward the other as a correction roller in order to eliminate a possible curvature of the metal strip. Then the metal strip runs through a blow-off apparatus for blowing off surplus coating. In order to prevent an uneven thickness distribution of the coating on the metal strip even when the correction roller of the roller pair has been adjusted, the actual position of the metal strip is controlled to a specified setpoint center position in the slot of the blow-off apparatus by an appropriate movement of the blow-off apparatus.

The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a laminate that exhibits visible light transparency and ultraviolet light shielding properties while maintaining an extremely high degree of scratch resistance, and that has all the necessary weather resistance and durability properties for withstanding long-term outdoor exposure. This method for manufacturing a laminate having the abovementioned properties includes: (1) using active energy rays to cure, on an organic resin substrate, an acrylic silicone resin composition having an inorganic component percentage X of 0.2 to 0.8 to form an intermediate layer, (2) dry-etching the surface of the intermediate layer obtained at step (1) using a non-oxidizing gas plasma of a plasma irradiation amount Y correlated with the inorganic component percentage X; and (3) plasma-polymerizing an organosilicon compound to form a hard coat layer on the surface of the intermediate layer obtained at step (2).

A coating apparatus is provided. The coating apparatus includes a coater, configured to move and perform coating along a first direction, the coater includes a coating head and a coating head movement mechanism, the coating head movement mechanism is configured to make the coating head move along a plane intersected with the first direction and rotate in the plane intersected with the first direction.

A method for plasma coating a compressible structure, includes the steps of: compressing the compressible structure thereby removing air from the compressible structure; and coating the compressed structure according to the following steps: a) ionizing a plasma gas at a temperature of 150? C. or lower, and at about atmospheric pressure, thereby creating a plasma; b) introducing a precursor into said plasma, thereby obtaining a precursor-comprising plasma; c) exposing the compressed structure to said precursor-comprising plasma, thereby forming a coating onto surfaces of the structure.

The method according to the invention consists in that the carrier is covered with at least two varnished layers, the two layers being made of electron curable varnishes, which may contain an additive increasing adhesion between the layers, and if the layer which is applied first, counting from the side of the carrier, containing an interlayer adhesion increasing additive, is irradiated with an excimer lamp and then pre-polymerized by electron radiation or UV light, then after applying the second layer also containing an interlayer adhesion increasing additive, the combined layers are cured by electron radiation or UV light. On the other hand, if the layer applied first, counting from the carrier side, is only pre-polymerized by electron radiation or UV light, then after applying the second layer, which then contains an additive increasing adhesion between the layers, it is subjected to irradiation by an excimer lamp and then the combined layers are cured by electron radiation or UV light. As a result, it is possible to obtain a product whose layer refined with excimer lamp and the layer only cured with electron radiation or UV light, are bound together regardless of the order of their occurrence.

To provide a technique of continuously imparting favorable water-repellent performance to a vehicle exterior member for a long period.

A method for setting a condition for recoating a vehicle exterior member with a water-repellent coating film, the method including: a peeling step of peeling a water-repellent coating film formed on a surface of the vehicle exterior member; a recoating step of forming a water-repellent coating film onto the surface to obtain a coating-film-formed vehicle exterior member, the recoating step being subsequent to the peeling step; and an assessment step of adhering a test liquid drop onto the water-repellent coating film formed through the recoating step, and making a water-repellency assessment, wherein the assessment step includes making, when a fall-off angle of the test liquid drop is not greater than 20?, an assessment that a recoating condition used in the peeling step and the recoating step is an acceptable recoating condition.
