Method for applying an active component comprising providing a composition comprising: (a) at least one active component selected from a lubricating agent, an insecticidal agent, and an herbicidal agent; and (b) a carrier in an amount effective to solvate or emulsify said active component, said carrier comprising a monochlorotrifluoropropene; and removing the carrier from the composition.

A liquid preparation for application to an inner side of a hollow body to produce a sliding layer on a packaging for pharmaceuticals or cosmetic products comprises the following constituents: a reactive silicone system for forming a silicone network of the sliding layer, a catalyst for catalyzing the cross-linking reaction of the reactive silicone system, at least one unreactive silicone oil, and at least one diluent. The diluent comprises a silicon-containing compound and a content of the at least one diluent in the preparation amounts to more than 45 percent by weight and less than 95 percent by weight in the preparation.

Provided is a salt that comprises a silicon-containing phosphate anion represented by formula (1) ##STR00001##
(in the formula, R.sup.1-R.sup.4 each independently represent an alkyl group having 1-4 carbon atoms, and n represents an integer of 2-8).

The present disclosure generally relates to drag reducing hydrophobic xerogel films. More particularly, the invention relates to hydrophobic ORMOSIL (organically modified silica) drag reducing film.

Lubricant infused surfaces (LIS) can be uncoated high-surface-energy solids, thereby eliminating the need for unreliable low-surface-energy coatings and resulting in LIS repelling the lowest surface tension impinging fluid (butane, 13 mN/m) reported to date.

(in the formula, R.sup.1-R.sup.4 each independently represent an alkyl group having 1-4 carbon atoms, and n represents an integer of 2-8).

Described herein are durable coatings, i.e. for medical devices, and methods of forming the coatings.

A coating composition for producing a coating with an adjustable coefficient of friction.

A composition comprising: (a) at least one active component; and (b) a carrier in an amount effective to at least partially solvate or at least partially emulsify said active component, said carrier comprising monochloro,trifluoropropene.

A method of bonding two surfaces by delivering to at least one of the surfaces an adhesive composition comprising: (a) at least one active bonding component; and (b) a carrier in an amount effective to at least partially solvate or at least partially emulsify said active bonding component, said carrier comprising monochlorotrifluoropropene, and then forming a bond between the surfaces.
