Capsule for taking up, in particular, powder or granular substances, having a base body (22) which is suitable for taking up a powder or granular substance and which has an opening (26), and having a cover for closing the opening (26) of the base body (22), the cover being a covering foil having an aluminium-containing carrier and a coating (4) arranged on this carrier (2), the coating being an atactic coating containing polypropylene. Furthermore, the invention relates to a foil (1), in particular a covering foil for closing an opening of a base body (22) suitable for taking up a powder or granular substance, forming a capsule, the foil comprising an aluminium-containing carrier and an atactic, polypropylene-containing coating arranged on this carrier (2), as well as a method for manufacture of such a foil (1), a carrier made of an aluminium-containing material being provided and an atactic, polypropylene-containing coating (4) being arranged on this carrier.

The present disclosure provides for an aqueous dispersion for use in coating applications. The aqueous dispersion includes an aqueous composition and a solid content of a melt blend product having an acid functionalized polypropylene base polymer, a polypropylene copolymer, an acid functionalized polypropylene wax and an acid functionalized polyolefin. The aqueous dispersion is included in a coating composition, where the coating composition includes the aqueous dispersion, a solvent, a crosslinker and a basic water composition having water and a base. The present disclosure also provides for a coated article having a substrate and a coating on the substrate, where the coating includes the coating composition of the present disclosure.

The disclosed retroreflective element includes a polymeric core that is loaded with a plurality of first beads and second beads distributed at the perimeter of the core. The first beads are different than the second beads. Because of the beads in the core, the retroreflective element remains useful for returning light even after portions of the core begins to wear away. Further, when the retroreflective elements get wet, water will settle to the bottom of the perimeter of the core. Therefore, using the second beads with a refractive index suited for wet conditions, while the first beads have a refractive index suited for dry conditions allows the retroreflective element to be useful in both wet and dry conditions even while the retroreflective element wears during use.
