A conformable coating for application to a soil substrate for barrier, adhesive, and planting properties includes a mixture of recycled or virgin materials, including organic fibrous material from wood based material and cotton based material, and gypsum bearing materials to which an effective amount of psyllium and its processes derivatives are added to form a solids mixture, which is diluted with an amount of water sufficient to provide a flowable consistency.

The present invention provides a composition for use in forming an abrasion-resistant easy-to-clean coating on a substrate. The composition according to the invention includes a mixture of a fluorocarbon polymer component and an enamel-forming component. The enamel-forming component includes at least a first lead-free and cadmium-free glass frit. The first lead-free and cadmium-free glass frit includes from about 30% to about 50% P.sub.2O.sub.5, from about 15% to about 30% Al.sub.2O.sub.3, and f...

The object of the present invention is a biodegradable polymer network and methods to make it. The polymer network consists of a cross-linked polyester resin, which is composed of hydroxy acid units, structural units derived from an unsaturated bifunctional monomer, and structural units derived from a polyol monomer. The polyester resin is produced directly by a polyoon-densation reaction, after which it is cross-linked to a polymer of high molecular weight The polyester can be co-polymerised wi...

A TiBN layer is provided as a coating, in particular for cutter bodies, which is a mixed phase consisting of TiN and TiB.sub.2. The boron content is 6 At..gtoreq.weight-%. The deposition rate is higher than that of a TiN layer and also higher than that of a TiB.sub.2 layer. Hardnesses between 3500 HV to 5000 KV are achieved.

A coating composition for a food or beverage can that includes an emulsion polymerized latex polymer formed by combining an ethylenically unsaturated monomer component with an aqueous dispersion of a salt of an acid- or anhydride-functional polymer and an amine, preferably, a tertiary amine.

Apparatus for applying liquid material to the edges of a die of semiconductor material mounted between two conductive plugs. The plugs and intervening die constitute a semiconductor element which is fed from a vibratory feeder to a transfer wheel and then gripped between a pair of opposed spindles of a conveyor wheel. The conveyor wheel carries the semiconductor element with the spindles rotating into a work station. At the work station the edges of the rotating semiconductor die come into conta...

A coating roll including a cylinder having permanent magnetic holding members seated in slots provided in the cylinder and having magnetizable bars on each end of the mat and a flexible magnetizable backing sheet. The mat is held on the cylinder by the magnetic force of the magnetic members. A pair of adjusting wedges are provided to register the first magnetizable bar on the cylinder and a second pair of tightening wedges are provided to wedge the second magnetizable bar toward the first magnet...

An atomization of coating material is accomplished by ejecting coating material through the orifice of the nozzle forcing it to flow across a forward facing diverging surface to the edge of an annular conical air orifice which directs air to an intersecting point forward of the nozzle orifice and thereby atomizes the coating material as it reached the annular edge of the air orifice. This type of atomization is used for conventional spray guns and for electrostatic spray guns with either complet...

Apparatus for extruding a coating around a core including an extruder screw, stock feeder means operatively associated with the screw, and core coating means disposed adjacent the delivery portion of the screw; the stock feeder comprising pairs of opposed finger elements positioned to contact strip stock and means for sequentially moving the pairs of finger elements to engage the strip stock and to advance same into contact with the extruder screw; the coating means comprising a die having an op...

Capacitors are transferred one at a time by a vacuum feed chuck to one of a plurality of vacuum mounting heads which are moving along a definite path. As the capacitors are conveyed along the path, and exposed portion thereof to be coated is submerged to a prescribed depth in a liquid coating material. Next the vacuum mounting head is rotated to expose a further portion of the item to be coated in operating orientation, after which this portion then receives a coating as before. The freshly coat...
