The present invention relates to a non-stick coating comprising a transparent finishing coat, said finishing coat comprising at least one thermostable resin and fillers whose d50 is greater than the average thickness of said finishing coat.

A method for generating antireflective coatings for polymeric substrates using a deposition process and/or a dissolving process can provide a coating onto the outer surface of the substrate. Some embodiments can include a GLAD generated fluoropolymer coating or a co-evaporated fluoropolymer coating on a substrate that may achieve ultralow refractive index as well as improved adhesion and durability properties on polymeric substrates. In some embodiments, the deposition process is performed such that a fluoropolymer can be evaporated to form chain fragments of the fluoropolymer. The chain fragments diffused into the substrate can subsequently re-polymerize, interlocking with the polymer chains of the substrate. In some embodiments, the co-evaporation process can form a nanoporous polymer chain scaffold of the fluoropolymer, from which a sacrificial material can be dissolved out. The formed coating can be a multilayer or continuously-graded antireflective coating that has strong adhesion with the substrate.

In this method for manufacturing a vehicle part, the following steps are implemented, applying a paint coat to a transparent part, applying a first varnish coat to the paint coat, irradiating the paint coat and the first varnish coat in part with laser radiation so as to etch the paint coat and the first varnish coat, applying a transparent primer coat to the first varnish coat, and applying a second varnish coat to the transparent primer coat.

We present a novel technology to prevent water absorption into substrates and to prevent the hydrolysis process thereof. To these ends, we disclose very thin-film water-vapor barrier for applications to substrate surfaces and methods for manufacturing the same. A polymeric compound film and silica-like compound film form a bilayer and one or more bilayers form the barrier on the substrate. The thickness of the film layers is kept below the thin film interference thickness to ensure that the one or more transparent bilayers are substantially transparent to the light. The thin film interference thickness may be characterized as the wavelength of light (λ) divided by four (4) times the index of refraction (n) of the film materials.

The composition is advantageously used of the application of multiple coloured layers on a metal or metal alloy foil. After the application of the composition, the metal or metal alloy foil can be further processed.

A method of making a monolithic multi-tone audio speaker cover. The method involves creating a hole pattern in a blank; forming a shape in the blank to make a shaped blank; treating or painting at least some of the surface of the shaped blank with a primary treatment or color to prepare a treated or painted shaped blank; masking an area of the treated or painted shaped blank with a masking material to cover at least a portion of the treated or painted shaped blank; and applying a secondary color to the unprotected area.
