A foldable container and a cleaning tool assembly are provided. The foldable container includes a foldable side wall disposed annularly. The foldable side wall includes two adjacent connecting parts connected through a flexible part. When the foldable container is unfolded, the connecting parts rotate around a fold part on the flexible part. A first abutting part and a second abutting part are respectively disposed on two sides of the fold part and are arranged on the flexible part or the connecting parts. When the foldable container is in an unfolded state, the first abutting part abuts against the second abutting part. The cleaning tool assembly includes a cleaning tool and the foldable container. When the foldable container is unfolded to be used, the first abutting part abuts against the second abutting part.

Methods and apparatus for manufacturing a microwavable food container include: forming a wire mesh over a mold comprising a mirror image of the microwavable food container; immersing the wire mesh in a fiber-based slurry bath; drawing a vacuum across the wire mesh to cause fiber particles to accumulate at the wire mesh surface; and removing the wire mesh including the accumulated fiber particles from the slurry bath; wherein the slurry comprises one or more of a moisture barrier, an oil barrier, and a vapor barrier.

The present invention provides a water-based coating and/or coating system used to form sag resistant wet layers or coatings on a wide range of substrates. The coating system is effective for protecting metal-containing substrates, such as intermodal cargo containers, against corrosion. As an overview, the present invention provides water-based compositions as primer coats on substrates, and methods for applying the same to substrates. The method includes steps of applying a water-based paint to the interior surfaces of a substrate and drying the substrate by continuously forcing heated air onto the substrate as it moves through a drying chamber. Desirably, the primer incorporates a high level of one or more CAS agents for excellent sag resistance while drying in a broad range of relative humidity environments. Alternatively, modifications can be made to control temperature and humidity during spray application and drying as a way to increase sag resistance of the coating.
