The present invention relates to a coated granular substance, wherein the coating comprises a resin comprising the reaction product of a polyol component and an isocyanate component and cured by the addition of a catalyst, said catalyst comprising a hydroxy group-containing amine compound. Further, the present invention relates to a process for coating a granular substance, comprising the steps of (a) providing a granular substance; (b) providing a polyol component and an isocyanate component; (c) optionally mixing the polyol component with the isocyanate component; (d) adding the mixture of step (c) or the polyol component and the isocyanate component as individual substances to the provided granular substance and producing a coating on the granular substance; (e) adding a catalyst to cure the coating; (f) optionally repeating steps (d) and (e), wherein the catalyst comprises a hydroxy group-containing amine compound.

Durable icephobic materials form anti-ice coatings on a variety of substrates, including for aircraft, powerlines, vehicles, marine structures, communications towers, outdoor equipment, and the like. The icephobic may comprise an elastomeric polymer with a low crosslink density (e.g., 1,300 mol/m3) and low initial ice adhesion strength (e.g., .sub.ice100 kPa prior to exposure to icing conditions). Further, the icephobic material maintains .sub.ice after 10 icing/deicing cycles that is 50% of the initial .sub.ice Introducing optional miscible liquids enhances interfacial slippage of chains in the elastomeric polymer. The low .sub.ice levels minimize ice buildup and eliminate necessary work to remove any accumulated ice via passive removal during normal operation. Other icephobic materials include linear polymers with plasticizers distributed therein or PDMS-silane coatings, both of which are free of any layers of surface liquids. Methods of making such icephobic materials are also provided.

A loupe is bonded to a glasses-type holder to be worn around a head of a user. The loupe includes: a tube framework inserted into a hole or a cutout formed in the glasses-type holder and bonded with a UV adhesive; and a lens held in the tube framework. At least a portion at which the UV adhesive is applied in the tube framework is made of a resin not resistant to acetone and is covered with a paint resistant to acetone.
