Use of a coating composition on a chromium free tinplate substrate, the coating composition comprising: a polyester material, and benzoguanamine or a derivative thereof,
wherein the coating composition is substantially free of bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol F (BPF), bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE) and bisphenol F diglycidyl ether (BFDGE).

A method for coating a building panel, the method including applying a first coating fluid including an organic binder on a surface of the building panel to obtain at least one coating layer, and applying barrier components and photocatalytic particles, preferably TiO.sub.2, on the at least one coating layer. Also, such a building panel.

Disclosed herein are coating compositions and/or coatings comprising a water-soluble resin mixture comprising a polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) and a polyacrylic acid (PAA), and further comprising a colorant and/or an aversive agent, surfaces of substrates coated with the compositions, and methods of making and using the same.

Introduced here is a plasma polymerization apparatus and process. Example embodiments include a vacuum chamber in a substantially symmetrical shape to a central axis. A rotation rack may be operable to rotate about the central axis of the vacuum chamber. Additionally, reactive species discharge mechanisms positioned around a perimeter of the vacuum chamber in a substantially symmetrical manner from the outer perimeter of the vacuum chamber may be configured to disperse reactive species into the vacuum chamber. The reactive species may form a polymeric multi-layer coating on surfaces of the one or more devices. Each layer may have a different composition of atoms to enhance the water resistance, corrosion resistance, and fiction resistance of the polymeric multi-layer coating.

Glass or glass ceramic substrates are provided that have a decorative coating. Methods for coating a glass or glass ceramic substrate with a decorative coating are also provided. In the method, a first, textured layer is applied which is filled with a further layer, so that a layer material of graded composition is formed.

A gas barrier laminate including a resin substrate, a first coating layer containing a carboxylic acid polymer; and a second coating layer containing a polyvalent metal compound and a resin, laminated in this order; a ratio of a thickness of the second coating layer to the first coating layer in the range of 1.0 or more and 4.0 or less; and the second coating layer satisfies at least one of the following: (condition 1) a haze of the second coating layer is 8% or less; (condition 2) a surface roughness Ra of the second coating layer is ½ or less of the thickness of the second coating layer; and (condition 3) the number of concave portions having a diameter of 1.5 μm or more per unit area on a surface of the second coating layer opposite to the first coating layer is 2/0.01 mm.sup.2 or less.

Paper is disclosed for use in making repositionable or removable adhesive labels. The adhesive can be applied in patches or discrete areas to the paper or to a layer of material that cleans rollers in the manufacturing line and/or in printers. The adhesive can be applied in single or multiple layers. The paper is light weight paper and preferably thermal paper for use in POS printers.

A method for coating objects starts with dispensing, by means of a first painting system, a first coating layer on a first object. A property of the first coating layer is measured to thereby obtain a first property value, and a coating variable of a second painting system is adjusted based on the first property value. A second coating layer is dispensed on the first coating layer by means of the second painting system which is different from the first painting system. By providing a measurement between the two painting systems, and by adjusting the coating parameters of the downstream painting system based on the measurement results, the overall coating can be corrected by compensating by means of the downstream painting system for a defective coating dispensed by the upstream painting system.

The present disclosure discloses a waterborne inorganic anti-doodling ceramic paint for indoor walls and preparation method thereof; the ceramic paint is a dual-coating paint having an under-coating paint and a surface-coating paint. The advantage effects of the present disclosure is that: the main film-forming materials are inorganic materials, the solvent is mostly deionized water, VOC emission is extremely low, thereby having a characteristics of safety, health and environmental protection; overcoming the shortcomings of multi-components of ceramic paint needs to be aged before use, while the under-coating paint and the surface-coating paint of the present disclosure are all single-component and can be directly used, easily to apply and fast; having an anti-doodling effect, when a marker doodling on the walls, it can be easily erased; the coating has a low surface tension which can isolate the outdoor moisture and prevent the walls from getting wet and mildewed.

A method for detecting a component including a concealed pattern includes: detecting infrared electromagnetic radiation reflected or emitted by a component including a first pattern, the component including: a substrate; the first pattern disposed over at least a portion of the substrate; an optional primer layer disposed between at least a portion of the substrate and at least a portion of the first pattern; and a first visibly opaque layer including an infrared transparent pigment, the first visibly opaque layer disposed over at least a portion of the first pattern; and comparing the reflectivity and/or absorbance of infrared electromagnetic radiation by the first pattern at one wavelength to the reflectivity and/or absorbance by the primer layer and/or the substrate at the same wavelength.
