Abstract:
A method of atomizing a high solids viscous composition (21) onto a substrate (27) and foaming the composition comprising mixing a coating composition with a gas foaming agent under elevated pressure and temperature. The coating composition (21) is airlessly atomized and projected onto a substrate (27). The gas remains dissolved in the coating after depositing on the substrate which causes the coating to foam after striking the substrate. The method provides a permanent foam coating composition with uniform cell distribution. The method is particularly suitable for foaming polymeric coatings such as plastisols and foods such as peanut butter or chocolate.
Abstract:
A process for facilitating the removal of undesired contamination from a surface, comprising the steps: a) applying a solution containing a polysaccharide and a solvent therefor onto said surface before it is subjected to contamination, said polysaccharide being capable of forming a redissolvable or swelling solid film upon drying; b) allowing the applied solution to dry to form a solid film on said surface; c) treating the coated surface with a liquid capable of redissolving the film or providing for swelling thereof; and d) removing the undesired contamination by removing the dissolved or swelled surface layer of the film.
Abstract:
A composite cleaning pad which incorporates a sheet of open-celled reticulated, hydrophillic polyurethane foam which integrally incorporates silane-coupled abrasives and a gelled aqueous phase and a textile sheet which covers a surface of the foam sheet and is bonded thereto.
