Safety of products should be the most important aspect in any product available to the consumer. The following product of making an Easter Egg Paste to be placed on an eggshell to eliminate dye intrusion has been improved by reducing the need for edible salts in the formulation, and eliminating the need for emulsifiers such as soy lecithin and replacing them with more edible safe ingredients.

A composition for promoting the release of bituminous materials and other adhesive materials from a substrate and methods of use thereof. More particularly, a composition comprising a silicone oil-in-water emulsion, which is stabilized by an alkoxylated polysiloxane surfactant, for use as a release agent that can be applied to a substrate, such as a truck bed, prior to use for promoting the free release of a bituminous material, such as asphalt, from the substrate.

Apparatus and methods for processing a glass sheet can include a coating chamber including a dispensing port to dispense a coating on a major surface of the glass sheet. In some embodiments, an apparatus can include a fog chamber including an enclosure, a fog generator to provide fog to the enclosure, and a passage in the enclosure from which fog can exit the enclosure to contact a major surface of the glass sheet. In some embodiments a method can include providing a glass sheet to a coating chamber, and dispensing a coating on a major surface of the glass sheet. In some embodiments, a method can include providing a glass sheet to a fog chamber, providing fog to an enclosure of the fog chamber, and contacting a major surface of the glass sheet with the fog by passing the fog from the enclosure through a passage in the enclosure.

A composition comprised of a perodixase, a catalase and a peroxide that, in combination, is suitable for degradation of pollen wall sporopollenin, and coatings comprising sporopollenin in a matrix that can be selectively degraded through application of a peroxidase, a catalase and a peroxide to the sporopollenin matrix.

According to the present disclosure, there are provided a surface treatment agent having the advantage that the raw material components can be dissolved in a short time during preparation of the surface treatment agent and capable of exerting a good water repellency imparting effect, and a method of manufacturing a surface-treated body with the use of the surface treatment agent. The surface treatment agent according to the present disclosure includes the following components: (I) at least one kind selected from the group consisting of silicon compounds represented by the following general formulas [1], [2] and [3]; (II) at least one kind selected from the group consisting of a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound represented by the following general formula [4], a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound represented by the following general formula [5], and imidazole; and (III) an organic solvent.

A surface finish composition including a silica-bonded reversibly cross-linked co-polymer and a water-dispersible polyurethane. The silica-bonded reversibly cross-linked co-polymer includes a base co-polymer including monomers derived from one or more ethylenic polymerizable monomers and an alkoxysilyl acrylate; a reversible cross-linking agent; and a silica nanoparticle bonded to the base co-polymer. The amount of water-dispersible polyurethane is 15-50% by weight of the combined amount of water-dispersible polyurethane and base co-polymer.

A compound for creating a protective coating on a surface. The compound includes a natural rubber liquid mixture. The compound also includes a dispersant added to the natural rubber liquid mixture.

The process for coating a guide comprises at least the steps of: supplying a guide (1) made of metallic material and comprising an outer surface (2, 3) provided with a first portion (2) adapted to slide a carriage (4) and a second portion (3) separate from the first portion (2); depositing a first coating layer (9) on the first portion (2) and on the second portion (3); cataphoretic painting the guide (1) adapted to deposit a second coating layer (12) onto the first portion (2) and onto the second portion (3) on top of the first coating layer (9); and removing the second coating layer (12) from the first portion (2).

A coating composition comprises at least one solvent, at least one resin, and at least one filler, wherein the filler is silica-deficient, sodium-potassium alumina silicate. The silica-deficient filler may be a sodium-potassium alumina silicate that contains less than 0.1 percent by weight crystalline silica and is 5 percent by weight or less of the coating composition or 1 percent by weight or less of the coating composition. In the later instance, the coating composition contains less than 0.001 percent crystalline silica. The resin may comprise styrene, styrenic copolymers, or mixtures including styrene. The composition provides a temporary gloss coating that may be removed physically, as by peeling for example. A method for coating a substrate with a coating that maybe removed by physical means is also provided. The method comprises applying the disclosed coating composition.
