A composition is described, which when applied to a surface, where it is desirable for snow and ice not to adhere, promotes release of snow and ice from the tire tread or surface for improved traction and performance. The composition is comprised of a binder polymer, a high molecular weight silicone oligomer or polymer(s) and a suitable delivery system permitting easy application, fast drying and excellent adhesion

The invention relates to the co-use of a) a certain type of silica and b) a certain type of graphite, wherein the silica and the graphite are used in a weight ratio in a range of from 1:1 to 1:10, for decreasing the thermal conductivity of vinyl aromatic polymer foam.

A coating film to prevent a conspicuous fingerprint has a water contact angle of no less than 60 so that most of water contained in fingerprints on the coating film evaporates without forming a layer adsorbed on the coating film. Further, the coating film has lipophilicity and has a diiodomethane contact angle of no more than 45 so that the coating film exhibits enhanced affinity to fingerprints, which primarily contain oily components.
