A coating system includes a mold having a flexible wall defining a mold cavity, a component disposed in the mold cavity, there being a coating gap defined between the component and the flexible wall of the mold cavity, and either a molding slurry or a solidified molding slurry filling the coating gap.

Embodiments herein provide a method of applying a protective coating to a haul truck tray The method includes (i) installing a mould on at least a portion of the haul truck tray, (ii) placing the at least a portion of the haul truck tray into a jig framework, (iii) heating at least a portion of the haul truck tray placed on the jig framework (iv) providing a source of fluid protective coating at an elevated point on the at least a portion of the haul truck tray placed on the jig framework, (v) coating at least a portion of the haul truck tray surface with a substantially uniform layer of fluid protective coating, and (vi) allowing the substantially uniform layer of fluid protective coating to cure.

A method for producing a light absorption anisotropic film that includes a film forming step of producing an intermediate laminate having an optical coating film formed using a liquid crystal composition containing a liquid crystalline compound and a dichroic substance, and an alignment film; a heating molding step of heating the intermediate laminate produced by the film forming step to impart one of a curved shape on a whole or a part of the intermediate laminate, or an irregular shape on one surface or both surfaces of the intermediate laminate; an aligning step of aligning a liquid crystalline component included in the optical coating film in the intermediate laminate imparted with one of the curved shape or the irregular shape by the heating molding step to produce a light absorption anisotropic film; and a curing step of curing the light absorption anisotropic film produced by the aligning step.

The present invention relates to the use of polyisocyanate compositions and trimerization catalysts for production of coatings by reaction injection molding. The present disclosure also describes the coatings obtained by the use. The correspondingly coated workpieces are also described in this disclosure. A method for coating workpieces by reaction injection molding is also described herein.
