A method for handling a coating material can include the steps of marking the coating material with a mark to identify a first information relating to the coating material, storing the first information relating to the coating material on a cloud-based server, and recording the marker of the coating material, thereby making the first information relating to the coating material accessible via the cloud-based server.

A hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesive composition comprises: a) at least one polyurethane comprising at least two end functional groups T of following formula (I):

X(CO)CH(R.sup.V)CH.sub.2(I) b) at least one tackifying resin chosen from the following resins: (b1) terpene/phenolic resins; (b2) the resins resulting from the polymerization of -methylstyrene, optionally followed by a reaction with at least one phenol; (b3) the polymeric resins (optionally at least partially hydrogenated) resulting from mainly C.sub.9 aromatic fractions; and c) at least one polymerization inhibitor.

The polyurethane(s) (a): tackifying resin(s) (b) ratio by weight ranges from 4:6 to 6:4. The said polyurethane (a) has a mean functionality of functional groups of formula (I) strictly of greater than 1.9.

A multilayer vehicle exterior coating is both durable and easy to install and conforms FAA standards. This vehicle sheet coating has no film or substrate resulting in a finished coating sheet that is about 6 mils thick (0.006). The multilayer protective sheet material is suitable for application to vehicle exterior surface.

An apparatus and process for the delivery of material to rolls of a laminator is disclosed.

The invention relates to a method and a device for producing a hand-tearable textile adhesive tape. First of all, a textile carrier tape (T) is treated, using a processing liquid (4) which acts upon the fibres, for long enough for its tear-resistance to fall below 100 N/cm. The textile carrier tape (T) is then washed and neutralised, and lastly a coating comprising an adhesive is applied to at least one side of said textile carrier tape (T).

Systems apply a material (e.g., adhesive) to an article (e.g., a component in an article of footwear) with a multiple-nozzle tool. A first nozzle of the multiple-nozzle tool is effective to provide an edge application of the material that is consistent in application of the material. A second nozzle of the multiple-nozzle tool is effective to provide a greater material coverage application than the first nozzle. The second nozzle may be implemented to apply the material at an interior area from the edge at which the first nozzle applies the material, in an exemplary aspect.

An applicator is disclosed for applying sealant to a moving substrate. The applicator includes a wheel having a periphery. A plurality of spaced apart footprints extends around the periphery of the wheel and each footprint has a sealant receiving feature. A reservoir is provided for containing a supply of sealant to be applied to the moving substrate. The wheel is rotatably mounted at least partially in the reservoir such that as the wheel rotates, each of the spaced apart footprints repeatedly moves through a supply of sealant in the reservoir to pick up a charge of sealant, around one side of the wheel toward the moving substrate, adjacent the moving substrate to transfer the sealant charge to the substrate, and around the other side of the wheel back toward the supply of sealant. At least one stop is formed on each of the footprints for inhibiting sealant picked up by the footprint from being urged rearwardly on the footprint by high speed rotation of the wheel. A backstop may be formed at a trailing end of each footprint and mid-stops may be formed between a leading end of each footprint and the trailing end.
