A matte clear coating composition for an aluminum member, comprising acrylic resin (A) having a hydroxy value of 100 to 200 mgKOH/g; melamine resin (B); silica particles (C) having an average particle size of 1.0 to 15 m; and polyolefin wax (D) having an average particle size of 10 to 40 m and a melting point of 145 C. to 180 C., the matte clear coating composition comprising 5 to 20 mass % of silica particles (C) and 3 to 15 mass % of polyolefin wax (D) based on the total solids content of acrylic resin (A) and melamine resin (B). The matte clear coating composition for an aluminum member satisfies both corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance (scratch resistance).

In an example of the disclosure, a priming lane and a non-priming lane are identified within an image frame to be printed by a printer. A line of molten wax is applied to the roller. The molten wax when cooled is to form a wax ridge upon the roller. The roller having the formed wax ridge is wetted with the primer. The wetted roller is rotated against the substrate to apply the primer. A first width of the wetted roller that does not include the wax ridge forms the priming lane upon the substrate. A second width of the roller that includes the wax ridge causes the primer to not transfer and thereby forms the non-priming lane upon the substrate.

A method is provided for coating a fibrous web, in particular a fibrous web comprising nanocellulose fibres. The method includes steps of applying a coating agent to a textured surface region of a textured substrate, applying a fibre furnish or a wet fibrous web onto the coated textured surface region of the textured substrate, optionally dewatering to provide a wet fibrous web, and drying said wet fibrous web such that at least a portion of said coating agent is transferred to said fibrous web. The method provides a coated fibrous web with improved barrier properties.

A method for covering inner walls of a cavity with a protective layer made of anti-corrosion wax, in particular for use on vehicle bodies and add-on parts for vehicle bodies. Anti-corrosion wax is brought into an atomized form (protective agent mist by a mist generator and supplied through an outlet opening to the cavity to be preserved. The protective agent mist is deposited on inner walls of the cavity and forms an anti-corrosion agent layer.

A lubricant coating material for stainless steel sheets that has excellent press formability (deep drawability and mold galling resistance) and a lubricated stainless steel sheet in which the same is used includes: a lubricant coating material for stainless steel sheets that contains an acrylic resin and polyethylene wax, the polyethylene wax having a melting point of 115 C. or greater, and the content of the polyethylene wax ranging from greater than 20 parts by mass to 50 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the acrylic resin; and a lubricated stainless steel sheet in which the same is used.

A method of applying a polish formulation to a vehicle. A water hose is connected at one end to a water source and at the other end it is connected to a siphon-sprayer having a polish formulation in its container. The polish formulation includes polish emulsions. The water is turned on and flows from the water source through the water hose and then through the siphon-sprayer. The polish formulation is siphoned up from the siphon-sprayer to form a polish formulation and water mixture that is then sprayed onto the vehicle. After application of the polish formulation and water mixture, no further step of buffing or wiping is required. In one preferred embodiment, the polish emulsion is a cationically charged wax emulsion.

A protective composition to be applied to exercise equipment for improved grip includes a wax and an antimicrobial agent in an amount effective to inhibit the growth of micro-organisms in the wax in both solid and liquid states. The antimicrobial agent can be in the form of an essential oil suspended in an emulsifier. According to some embodiments of the invention, the wax composition includes an animal or plant based wax that is solid at room temperature, an anti-microbial agent in an amount effective to inhibit the growth of micro-organisms in the wax, and the balance of the composition includes at least one oil that is liquid at room temperature. Numerous other aspects are provided.

A method is provided of applying a coating material to a concave surface of an article that has a rim around the concave surface, and a cavity between the concave surface and the rim. The method includes discharging coating material in a liquid form into the cavity, extracting a first amount of the discharged liquid coating material from the cavity, thereby leaving a residual amount of the liquid coating on the concave surface within the cavity, and maintaining the article in conditions appropriate to allow the residual amount of liquid coating material to cure on the concave surface.

In order to preserve vehicle bodies, a common plant is used, which plant is configured both for flooding and for spraying. The plant makes use of a common feed system and is operated with the same preservative for the spraying and the flooding.

A matte clear coating composition for an aluminum member, comprising acrylic resin (A) having a hydroxy value of 100 to 200 mgKOH/g; melamine resin (B); silica particles (C) having an average particle size of 1.0 to 15 m; and polyolefin wax (D) having an average particle size of 10 to 40 m and a melting point of 145 C. to 180 C., the matte clear coating composition comprising 5 to 20 mass % of silica particles (C) and 3 to 15 mass % of polyolefin wax (D) based on the total solids content of acrylic resin (A) and melamine resin (B). The matte clear coating composition for an aluminum member satisfies both corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance (scratch resistance).
