A surface treatment method and a surface treatment device 2 for a resin vessel 1 forms a coating or performs surface modification on the surface of the resin vessel 1. In a sterilized environment as well as an environment with a pressure equal to or higher than the atmospheric pressure, a material for the coating or the surface modification is attached to at least one of an inner surface and an outer surface of the resin vessel 1, and the resin vessel 1, to which the material is attached, is irradiated with an electron beam to perform the coating or the surface modification. It is possible to form the coating or perform the surface modification on the resin vessel at a high speed.

A spray gun alignment system precisely aligns a spray gun of a container spray machine for precision application of container coatings. The spray gun alignment system generates a spray gun alignment jig including a container holder adapter and a spray gun adapter. The container holder adapter is inserted into a container holder of the spray machine, and the spray gun adapter is fastened to the spray gun. The spray gun alignment jig is configured to position the spray gun in proper alignment with respect to the container holder.

A cartridge for an e-vaping device includes a reservoir configured to hold pre-vapor formulation, a vaporizer assembly configured to draw at least some of the pre-vapor formulation from the reservoir and vaporize the drawn pre-vapor formulation to form a vapor, and a superabsorbent polymer configured to absorb free water from pre-vapor formulation held in the reservoir. The superabsorbent polymer includes a cross-linked polyacrylate copolymer that is substantially inert to the pre-vapor formulation. The superabsorbent polymer may be included in a layer on one or more surfaces in the cartridge. The layer may include the superabsorbent polymer and a binder. The superabsorbent polymer may be included with the pre-vapor formulation in a formulation mixture. The superabsorbent polymer may be included in an interior of at least one element comprising the cartridge. The superabsorbent polymer may be included in a separate compartment in the reservoir.

The present invention describes a corrosion laminate system and a nozzle for use with the CLS. CLS involves cleaning the PW storage tank through debris removal, wet blasting the tank, and drying the tank. The nozzle is inserted and sealed, leaving only the fiberglass portion of the nozzle in contact with the interior of the PW storage tank. The product for sealing the PW storage tank is then applied to the entire interior surface of the tank, the product is cured, and the PW storage tank can be used for storage.

A method of forming a coating on a food or beverage container, which includes spraying a coating composition onto an interior surface of the food or beverage container, where the coating composition includes an emulsion-polymerized latex copolymer having copolymer chains of one or more mono-unsaturated monomers that are cross-linked with one or more multi-unsaturated monomers. The method also includes heating the sprayed coating composition to cure the coating composition, thereby providing the coating on the interior surface of the food or beverage container.

A coating composition comprising epoxidized vegetable oil, an amine terminated polyamide and a silicone resin is disclosed. Substrates coated at least in part with such coatings are also disclosed.

A coated food or beverage contact article that has been or will be ibrmed into a food or beverage container or container component, a method for making such containers or container components, coating compositions and polymers for use in such article or method. The coating composition comprises a polymer derived from or derived from or derivable from a polyphenol having two or more phenylene rings linked to or through an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic group or groups, wherein the polyphenol is a reaction product of a monophenol with a polyolefinic terpene. The polyphenol may be a diphenol and a reaction product of a monophenol with a diolefinic terpene. The terpene may be a cyclic terpene.

An apparatus and method for protecting a gas container interior, where an inlet and exhaust manifold include a port assembly attachable to a port of the gas container is provided, the gas container interior is exposed to sequential self-saturating surface reactions by sequential inlet of reactive gases via the port assembly and the port into the gas container interior, and reaction residue is pumped via the port and the port assembly out from the gas container.

A coating composition is provided that is useful in coating metal substrates such as interior and/or exterior surfaces of food or beverage cans. In preferred embodiments, the coating composition is formulated using a physical blend of a preformed resin system and an alkali-soluble resin additive.

A coating method includes a first step for spraying, onto an inner area of an opening part of a cylindrical body having a bottom and arranged horizontally, a first coating material of synthetic resin containing non-volatile components while rotating the cylindrical body around a central axis thereof. After the first step, a second step is performed for spraying, onto an inner area of a barrel part of the cylindrical body, a second coating material of synthetic resin containing a lower proportion of non-volatile components than that of the first coating material while continuing to rotate the cylindrical body. After the second step is performed and before the volatile components of the second coating material vaporizes, a third step is performed in which the rotation of the cylindrical body is stopped, the cylindrical body is placed vertically, and the volatile components of the second coating material are vaporized.
