Provided is a method for providing a substrate with an ablative coating using a one-part room temperature curable and sprayable ablative silicone composition. The one-part room temperature curable and sprayable ablative silicone composition is generally thixotropic and cures in depth within 24 hours to provide an ablative or thermal protective layer on an article. The one-part room temperature curable and sprayable ablative silicone composition is substantially free from diluents or solvents. An article having such a coating and the use of the one-part room temperature curable and sprayable ablative silicone composition in the preparation of such an article are also provided.

A dry erase writing surface has a low gloss level of 20-40 that can be utilized as both a writable/erasable dry erase surface and a projection surface, formed by a single component, 100% solids polyurethane, ambient cured, dry erase-coating formulation. The coating formulation includes a low NCO isocyanate, a cure accelerating catalyst, a flow, leveling, and defoaming agent, a silica powder matting agent to reduce the gloss level and an exempt solvent to reduce the viscosity and the gloss level. The surface is ready for use in 24 hours. The coating has a low VOC of between 0 g/l and 5 g/l. The coating is applied to a prepared surface of a substrate to form a film thickness of 1-3 mils. Marks on the dry erase surface remain virtually invisible after 2500 cycles.

Methods of producing the radiation-curable composition, methods of coating a substrate with the radiation-curable composition, and substrates coated with the radiation-cured composition are also disclosed.

A floor board including a decorative surface layer applied to a substrate, where the substrate is optionally MDF or HDF material at a side edge thereof, and at least one side edge together with a side edge opposite thereto forming a first pair of opposite side edges of said substrate. The first pair of opposite side edges includes mechanical first and second coupling parts, respectively, allowing the floor board to be coupled at the respective side edges with a similar floor board. Also, a floor board covering consisting of a plurality of the floor boards and a method for manufacturing such floor boards.

Embodiments described herein relate to methods of forming liquid-impregnated surfaces, and in particular to methods of preparing solid particle solutions for forming textured surfaces which can be impregnated with an impregnating liquid to form a liquid-impregnated surface. In some embodiments, a method of forming a textured surface includes dissolving a solid in a solvent to form a solution. The solid has a concentration, which is less than a first saturation concentration of the solid in the solvent at a first temperature and greater than a second saturation concentration of the solid in the solvent at a second temperature. The solution is allowed to form a solid particle solution. The solid particle solution is then disposed on a surface and the solvent is allowed to evaporate to form the textured surface on the surface.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising i) a polysiloxane and ii) a sulfur containing chemical compound represented by following chemical formula (I) as defined herein

XSY(I).

Methods of bracing high aspect ratio (HAR) structures include coating the HAR structures with stimulus responsive polymers (SRP) films followed by baking the SRP films at a temperature above the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the SRP film and below the degradation temperature of the SRP. In some embodiments, the SRP film includes a plasticizer.

A decorative sheet includes a primary film layer, a transparent ridged layer, and a surface protective layer laminated in this order, wherein asperities having ridge parts protruding in a ridged shape are formed on the transparent ridged layer, and the relationship between a film thickness TA of the surface protective layer on a raised portion of the transparent ridged layer and a film thickness TB of the surface protective layer on a recessed portion of the transparent ridged layer satisfies 0.1TA/TB2.0.

A surface treatment agent capable of forming a film that has excellent corrosion resistance and hydrophilicity with suppressed odor is provided. A surface treatment agent includes: one or more selected from water-soluble inorganic oxides and salts thereof (A); one or more selected from hydrolysates and condensates of organoalkoxysilane (B); water-soluble resin (C); ether compound (D); and water and/or water-miscible solvent; wherein assuming a total mass of the one or more selected from water-soluble inorganic oxides and salts thereof (A), a total mass of the one or more selected from hydrolysates and condensates of organoalkoxysilane (B), a mass of the water-soluble resin (C), and a mass of the ether compound (D) are M.sub.A, M.sub.B, M.sub.C and M.sub.D, respectively, (M.sub.A+M.sub.B)/(M.sub.A+M.sub.B+M.sub.C+M.sub.D)=0.01 to 0.7 is satisfied.
