The present disclosure is drawn to coating compositions that can include an inorganic pigment, a non-ionic surfactant, latex particles, a polyvinyl alcohol, and a cationic fixing agent. The inorganic pigment can be included in an amount from 60 wt % to 90 wt % by dry weight. The latex particles can include a styrene-butadiene copolymer, and can be present in an amount of 4 wt % to less than 10 wt % by dry weight. The polyvinyl alcohol can have a weight average molecular weight of 150,000 Mw to 400,000 Mw.

Self-fusing silicone tapes contain neutral corrosion inhibitors therein such as salts of acids. Such tapes provide protection in an acid gas environment as well as under thermal insulation. The same also allows inspection of protected structure without removing the protection apparatus.

The present invention relates to colored effect pigments, in particular to those containing an organic color pigment layer, to a preparation method thereof and to the use of these pigments especially in a composition comprising the colored effect pigments.

Multi-layer anti-fouling coatings and methods of forming the same include a first biocidal layer formed on a surface. The first biocidal layer includes at least one biocidal biocide that kills a biofouling organism on contact with the first biocidal layer. A first biostatic layer is formed between the first biocidal layer and an external environment. The first biostatic layer includes at least one biostatic biocide that inhibits a biofouling organism from attaching to the first biostatic layer.

The present invention provides a thick-film paste composition for printing the front side of a solar cell device having one or more insulating layers. The thick-film paste comprises an electrically conductive metal and an oxide composition dispersed in an organic medium that includes an organopolysiloxane and a fluorine-containing degradation agent.
