A main object of the present invention to provide a coated pigment that is composed of a composite particle comprising a silicon compound coated on the surface of a metal particle, and that can be dispersed with relatively few aggregates. The present invention relates to a coated pigment comprising a composite particle containing a metal particle and one or two or more coating layers on the surface of the metal particle, wherein (1) at least one of the coating layers is a silicon compound-containing layer, and (2) the proportion of aggregates formed by adhesion of at least four of the composite particles with each other is not more than 35% by number.

A poured, seamless polyurethane floor includes woodgrain markings and floorboard markings protected within a top clear coating, thereby to achieve a poured seamless floor with a “wood look.” The woodgrain markings are achieved by moving a heavy brush through the wear layer, during installation, prior to curing. The longitudinal floorboard markings may be achieved by moving a line marking apparatus over the upper layer, parallel with the woodgrain markings, after the wear layer has cured. The line marking apparatus assures distinct parallel floorboard lines on the wear layer, due to the use of permanent markers held in a downwardly biased, spring-loaded condition during movement of the apparatus over the floor. The installer then marks the transverse floorboard lines. A top coat seals and protects the woodgrain marking and the floorboard lines, thereby resulting in a seamless, poured polyurethane floor with a permanent wood look.

Disclosed are an electromagnetic-wave transmitting cover that transmits electromagnetic waves transmitted/received by an LF antenna and an RF antenna and an electric field generated from a capacitance touch sensor while realizing a metallic texture, and a door outer handle including the same. The electromagnetic-wave transmitting cover includes: a substrate; a primer layer formed on a surface of the substrate; and a first metal layer formed by depositing and having a plurality of first microcracks penetrating in a thickness direction.

The present invention relates to a system, which comprises: b) at least one first colour layer containing a dye and/or pigment, c) on the at least one first colour layer an effect layer containing at least one platelet-shaped effect pigment, wherein the at least one platelet- shaped effect pigment is composed of particles having an average length of 2 to 500 m, an average width of 2 to 500 m and an average thickness of at most 1 gm, and d) on the effect layer at least one second colour layer containing a dye and/or pigment, wherein each of the at least one first colour layer and of the at least one second colour layer contains a dye and/or pigment being no platelet-shaped effect pigment, wherein the at least one dye and/or at least one pigment included in the at least one first colour layer is different from the at least one dye and/or at least one pigment included in the at least one second colour layer, and wherein, at least if the at least one first colour layer has a sum of reflectance and scattering of less than 40%, the system further comprises: a) below the at least one first colour layer a lower layer containing a pigment and having a sum of reflectance and scattering of at least 40%.

The present invention particularly relates to synthesizing photo-initiators having poly-oligo-silsesquioxane (POSS) structure and realizing photo-polymerization by using these photo-initiators and simultaneous and in-situ synthesis of Ag nano-particles in polymer matrix comprising POSS structure and obtaining wrinkled surfaces as a result of self-arranging thereof.

A surfacing material includes a substrate having a top side and a bottom side. A matte surface is formed on the bottom side thereof, wherein the matte surface of the surfacing material is a coating of an electron beam radiation curable material applied to the bottom side of the substrate. The coating is an epoxy acrylic or urethane acrylic laid upon the substrate. The epoxy acrylic or urethane acrylic is irradiated with UV-radiation to produce a UV-radiation layer wherein the epoxy acrylic or urethane acrylic is neither hardened nor is an entire layer of the epoxy acrylic or urethane acrylic crosslinked but rather the epoxy acrylic or urethane acrylic only crosslinked on the surface thereof, which produces a matting surface through the effects of a micro-convolution.

Provided are an ultraviolet curable coating composition and an automobile part using the same. In an exemplary embodiment, the coating composition comprises a first urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer having 6 or more functional groups, a second urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer having 3 or more functional groups, a polyester (meth)acrylate oligomer, a hydroxy (meth)acrylate monomer having 3 or more functional groups, a multifunctional (meth)acrylate monomer having 3 or more functional groups, and a photopolymerization initiator, based on the total weight of the coating composition.
