A method for forming a multilayer coating film is provided. The method includes coating at least one object with an aqueous primer coating composition, an aqueous first colored coating composition, an aqueous second colored coating composition, and a clear coating composition, in that order. The aqueous primer coating composition contains a component (A) which contains a polyolefin resin, a component (B) which contains a polyurethane resin, a curing agent (C) and electrically conductive carbon (D). The aqueous first colored coating composition and aqueous second colored coating composition each contain a core/shell emulsion. The clear coating composition contains a hydroxyl group-containing acrylic resin, a polyisocyanate and a melamine resin. The method improves the appearance, chipping resistance, adhesive properties and low temperature impact properties of a coating film.

A door trim including a base and a skin firmly bonded via a non-reactive hot melt adhesive layer with less dependence on the material forming bonding surfaces, and a method for manufacturing the door trim are provided. This door trim includes a base and a skin bonded to a surface of the base. A bonding surface of the base to the skin includes a region made of polyolefin and/or a region made of polyurethane. A bonding surface of the skin to the base is made of polyolefin. The bonding surfaces are bonded via a non-reactive hot melt adhesive layer containing acid-modified polyolefin.

A system to carry out solvent targeted recovery and precipitation (STRAP) to recover individual polymers from multilayer plastic films or mixed plastic wastes, comprising a down-sizing device to shred the plastic wastes into particles with a size and aspect ratio to be flowable; a feeder that conveys the plastic particles in a constant flow without bridging; a dissolution vessel to selectively dissolve an individual polymer component in a solvent; a high temperature filter to separate the dissolved polymer component from the undissolved plastics; a precipitator to precipitate the dissolved polymer component; a low temperature filter to separate the precipitated polymer component from the solvent; and a distillation unit to purify the recycled solvent. The unique design of the feeder and the dissolution vessels allows the system to run in a semi-continuous mode.

Components for articles of footwear and athletic equipment are provided including a foam. A variety of foams and foam components and compositions for forming the foams are provided. In some aspects, the foams and components including the foams can have exceptionally high energy return while also having improved durability and softness. In particular, midsoles including the foams are provided for use in an article of footwear. Methods of making the compositions and foams are provided, as well as methods of making an article of footwear including one of the foam components. In some aspects, the foams and foam components can be made by injection molding or injection molding followed by compression molding.

Primer composition for digital inkjet printing on plastic polymer films possibly laminated with: one or more plastic films of the same or different polymer and/or aluminium and/or paper comprising: a) at least one resin having affinity with said plastic polymers; b) at least one aliphatic or aromatic C2-CI 0 organic mono-, bi- or tricarboxylic acid, possibly being replaced in the aliphatic chain or aromatic ring with one or more halogen atoms and having pKA between 0.2 and 5; c) an organic solvent selected from at least one ether, at least one ester, at least one aliphatic alcohol, at least one ketone, at least one C6-C 10 alkane, or from those belonging to the positive list defined by Swiss Ordinance 817.023.21 Annex 10 and/or mixtures thereof, said organic solvent having a boiling point between 35 and 250? C.

An additive masterbatch composition comprising a semi-crystalline polyolefin carrier resin and an additive package comprising a product of a reaction of an acidic condensation catalyst and a secondary diarylamine. A moisture-curable polyolefin composition comprising the additive masterbatch composition and a (hydrolyzable silyl group)-functional polyolefin prepolymer. A method of making the compositions; a moisture-cured polyolefin composition prepared therefrom; a manufactured article comprising or made from the formulation; and a method of using the manufactured article.
