An object of the present invention is to provide a golf ball having excellent spin performance on approach shots under a wet condition and excellent spin performance on approach shots under a condition that there is grass between the golf ball and the club face. The present invention provides a golf ball comprising a golf ball body and a paint film composed of at least one layer and formed on a surface of the golf ball body, wherein an outermost layer of the paint film located at the outermost layer of the golf ball contains a base resin and a porous filler, the base resin contains a polyurethane obtained by a reaction between a polyisocyanate composition and a polyol composition, and the porous filler contains SiO.sub.2 in an amount of 50 mass % or more as a constituent component.

Polymers are disclosed that incorporate portions of secondary or tertiary polyamide segments connected with polyisocyanates. These polymers have enhanced matting properties. The enhanced matting properties are from creating an inherently matt surface from the polymer without the use of any separate fine particle size matting additives. Conventional matting agents such as fine particle size silica usually results in loss of physical properties such as haze development and porosity in the coating from the matting agent. Composites and hybrids of these polymers and other polyamides, polyurethane with vinyl polymers (acrylates) are also disclosed and claimed.

An object of the present invention is to provide a golf ball having excellent approach spin performance under a dry condition and excellent approach spin performance under a condition that there is grass between the golf ball and the club face. The present invention provides a golf ball comprising a golf ball body and a paint film formed on a surface of the golf ball body, wherein the paint film is composed of at least one layer, and an outermost paint film layer located at the outermost layer of the golf ball contains, as a base resin, a polyurethane obtained by a reaction between (A) a polyisocyanate composition and (B) a polyol composition, and the outermost paint film layer has a dynamic friction coefficient of from 0.75 to 1.5 measured with a dynamic friction tester under specific conditions.

A coating composition contains: a fluororesin that imparts water repellency and includes a hydroxyl group; and a hydrophilic material that imparts hydrophilicity and includes a hydroxyl group. Moreover, the coating composition contains a bonding material that has a plurality of functional groups to be bonded to hydroxyl groups and bonds the fluororesin and the hydrophilic material to each other. An optical member 10 includes the coating film 2, which is obtained from the coating composition, on at least a part of a surface thereof. An illuminator 100 includes: a light-guiding plate 10A composed of the optical member; and a light source 20 that emits light to be made incident onto the light-guiding plate.

The invention provides protein adhesives and methods of making and using such adhesives. The protein adhesives contain ground plant meal or an isolated polypeptide composition obtained from plant biomass.

An object of the present invention is to provide a golf ball having improved spin performance on wedge shots under a wet condition such as rain by controlling the formulation of the paint film. The present invention provides a golf ball comprising a golf ball body and a paint film covering the golf ball body, wherein the paint film contains a base resin and a porous filler, and the porous filler contains SiO.sub.2 as a constituent in an amount of 50 mass % or more.

Disclosed is a composition for improving the corrosion resistance of metals coated with 2K coatings. The composition comprises the reaction product of an aromatic sulfonyl isocyanate and an alcohol or polyol monomer. Also disclosed is a method of improving the corrosion resistance of metals coated with 2K coatings by the addition of a sulfonyl urethane-alcohol composition reaction product of an aromatic sulfonyl isocyanate and a mono-alcohol or poly-alcohol.

A golf ball includes a main body and a paint layer positioned outside the main body. The paint layer includes an inner layer and an outer layer positioned outside the inner layer. When an indentation depth (nm) is measured on a cross-section along a plane passing through a central point of the golf ball when a force of 30 mgf is applied to the cross-section in a direction perpendicular to the cross-section, an indentation depth Di on a cross-section of the inner layer is smaller than an indentation depth Do on a cross-section of the outer layer. A thickness To of the outer layer is larger than a thickness Ti of the inner layer.

The subject matter is a new composition comprising at least one hydroxyl-group containing resin, at least one nitroso-containing compound or at least one nitroso precursor compound, at least one blocked isocyanate and at least one crystallization germ suitable as primer or coating for rubber to substrate bonding, which provides a scratch resistant surface, when applied, and excellent adhesion and steam resistance for rubber to substrate bonds. These compositions can especially be used as one coat systems.
