The present invention provides a paint mixture containing a paint and paper sludge-derived sintered carbonized porous grains, the use of the paint mixture for removing lint, a composite structure containing the paint mixture and a lint removal method for the paper machine in the papermaking process, for the printing and/or copying process, and for the electric control panels in the papermaking mill to prevent piling and sticking troubles and/or fire breakout caused by lint generated during the operation of paper machine and equipment in the paper converting process. The provided paint mixture and method also reduces paper breakages of the paper machine. The provided paint mixture and method is composed of preparation of a mixture of paint and paper sludge-derived sintered carbonized porous grains and then paint, e.g., machines and/or equipment located after the Yankee dryer, steel pipe handrails in a household papers manufacturing mill.

The present disclosure provides a paint composition, and methods of making and using the same, wherein the composition includes metal silicate particles, a binder, pigment particles, and a solvent. A benefit of the paint composition can be that it captures carbon dioxide from the air and excludes toxic or non-naturally occurring ingredients.

An electronic telecommunication article is described comprising a layer of fluoropolymer composition comprising an uncrosslinked fluoropolymer comprising at least 80, 85, or 90% by weight of polymerized units perfluorinated monomers including one or more unsaturated perfluorinated alkyl ethers. In typical embodiments, the uncrosslinked fluoropolymer comprises at least 10, 20, or 30 wt. % of one or more unsaturated perfluorinated alkyl ethers. The uncrosslinked fluoropolymer may be characterized as amorphous. The uncrosslinked fluoropolymer is soluble in fluorinated solvent. Also described are coated (e.g. copper) substrates, methods, and compositions.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising an aqueous dispersion of a) polymer particles having a z-average particle size in the range of from 50 nm to 500 nm; b) anion exchange resin particles having a D.sub.50 median particle size in the range of from 0.1 ?m to 50 ?m; and c) polymeric organic microspheres having a D.sub.50 median particle size in the range of from 1 ?m to 20 ?m, wherein the weight-to-weight ratio of polymer particles to microspheres is in the range of from 0.5:1 to 20:1. The composition of the present invention is useful for paint compositions that form matte finishes with an excellent balance of stain blocking and stain removal properties.

Disclosed are compositions for coating substrates used in wet environments including boats, ships, other marine vessels and their parts that are submerged in water. The compositions comprise solvent-borne monomers, diluent, an adhesion promoter, a rheology modifier and a ceramic performance additive such as hollow spheres and non-hollow spheres. Once the composition is applied to a substrate, the coatings protect by minimizing cavitation and underwater radiation noise when the marine vessel is in operation. The coatings may also exhibiting improved substrate adhesion, overcoat adhesion, recoat adhesion, bending strength of at least 10 mm, reduced noise radiation, and/or improved hardness as indicated by scratch resistance (relative to a control).

Methods of protecting a propeller include applying an inner polymer layer onto a propeller. The inner polymer layer is impregnated with a biologically active chemical substance that inhibits biofouling-induced chemical, biological, and bio-proliferative damage and that does not chemically or galvanically interact with a material of the propeller. An outer polymer layer is applied onto the inner polymer layer, the outer polymer layer being impregnated with a biologically active chemical substance that inhibits biofouling-induced chemical, biological, and bio-proliferative damage and that repels biofouling organisms to prevent invasion of the inner polymer layer.

Provided is an extensible decorative film that includes a surface layer having excellent scratch resistance and matte properties before and after extension, and a surface coating composition that may form such a surface layer.

A composition of heat-expandable microspheres and an application thereof are provided. The composition includes heat-expandable microspheres and a solvent. The particle size of the heat-expandable microspheres is 5 ?m?D?40 ?m, preferably 8 ?m?D?20 ?m. The thickness of the walls of at least 60% of the heat-expandable microspheres is ?5 ?m, preferably the thickness is ?3 ?m. The solvent at least comprises one organic solvent having a boiling point of above 220? C. A thermal expansion coating containing the composition has a stable structure, relatively high resistance to thermal shrinkage, relatively high mechanical strength and adhesion, can be applied in the fixation of high temperature resistant parts, and can maintain the bonding stability thereof when placed long-term in a high temperature environment (140-180? C.).

What is disclosed is a coating for a floor element comprising a coating varnish for application to the floor element, the coating varnish comprising a cork powder.

A resin formulation that may be used for additive manufacturing, for example, to provide a water-breakable object is generally described.
