Abstract:
Un método para formar un refuerzo de polímero en un substrato de vidrio a través del uso de un polvo previo al polímero aplicado en la superficie del substrato. El refuerzo se aplica en línea en un proceso existente de manufactura o fabricacion del substrato mientras el substrato se encuentre a una temperatura lo suficientemente alta para polimerizar el polvo. El substrato reforzado resultante es durable y resistente a la abrasion y presenta propiedades de opacificacion y adhesion excelentes. El substrato reforzado con polímero tiene un uso idealmente como espejo.

Abstract:
A high gloss exterior automotive quality paint coat having exterior automotive appearance and durability properties is laminated to the exterior surface of a molded plastic car body member or panel. In one embodiment, the paint coat includes an exterior clear coat (45) above a color coat (46). The clear coat (45) and color coat (46) are each coated on a temporary flexible casting sheet and dried. A high gloss surface is transferred to the clear coat from the casting sheet. The paint coat is then transferred from the casting sheet to a thin, semi-flexible thermoformable plastic backing sheet (72) by dry paint transfer-laminating techniques. The resulting laminate (130) is thermoformed into a complex three-dimensional shape of the car body member or panel. The preformed laminate is then bonded to an underlying plastic substrate material, by injection-cladding techniques, for example, to form the finished article. The paint coat has sufficient elongation to retain exterior automotive appearance and durability properties during thermoforming without deglossing. The color coat has sufficient pigment to maintain required coloration without disrupting the other properties of the paint coat during the thermoforming step. The backing sheet absorbs defects in the substrate material so the paint coat retains its appearance and durability properties during the injection-cladding step. The finished article comprises a high gloss, defect-free paint coat on the exterior of a molded plastic car body member or panel. Solution-form PVDF/acrylic paint systems have remarkably high combined gloss and distinctiveness-of-image levels.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a patterned, colored surface on an object of wooden or cellulose material comprises as the first step preparation of the pattern on the surface by removing or depressing predetermined portions of the surface, so that grooves or recesses are created therein. To create, by only one application of paint to the surface, a two-colored pattern in which the grooves have a color differing from that of the remainder of the surface there is subsequently applied to the whole surface, including recesses, a paint which in addition to dissolved dye or dye pigments and solvent, contains about 0,5 - 8%, calculated on the entire quantity of finished paint, inert or non-soluble, fine-grained particles of metal, glass, plastic, metal alloy, metal compound or the like having a maximum cross dimension which is substantially larger than the maximum cross dimension of the dye pigments and is comprised within the range 2 - 200 w , preferably being less than 20 µ. The invention also relates to articles manufactured by the method and a paint for carrying out the method.
Abstract:
Polymer coatings having high solids content and containing mica pigments are applied with uniform appearance when the liquid layer which is deposited on an article is greater in thickness than the nominal maximum length of the mica platelets. Coatings which contain 0.01-5 weight percent mica having up to 60 micrometers maximum platelet length are produced in thicknesses of 0.045-0.076 mm. The coatings are best applied by a conventional turbobell rotary atomizer.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for producing and repairing multi-coat effect painting in which the base coat is applied solely by electrostatic spraying, a paint with a given rheological behaviour is used as the base coat and repairs are made using a spray application process in which a spray is produced which is characterised in that 40 % at the most of the paint drops passing a measuring point in the centre of the spray and 300 mm from the nozzle have a diameter of under 20 mu m and at least 5 % of the paint drops have a diameter of over 60 mu m, at least 20 % of the paint drops passing the measuring point have a speed of under 6 m/s and at most 30 % of the paint drops have a speed of over 10 m/s, and the paint drops have an impetus of at least 4 x 10 g cm s , whereby the diameter and speed are determined by the phase Doppler anemometric method.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to electrochromic mirrors (1) and devices whose electrochromic element is composed of an electrochromic solid film (7) and an electrolyte (6) comprising redox reaction promoters and alkali ions and/or protons.
Abstract:
A method for direct printing of micro-optical components (82) onto optical substrates (84) or active devices to create optical circuit elements as well as micro-optical components and systems, such as plano-convex circular, cylindrical or square lenslets, anamorphic lenslets, waveguides, couplers, mixers and switches and monolithic lenses deposited directly onto optical components such as diode lasers and optical fibers. The method provides a means for precisely depositing a wide range of materials in a wide variety of shapes for fabricating a full range of passive and active micro-optic devices.
Abstract:
A lamp reflector comprises a pre-formed member molded from a polymer into a smooth and continuously curved shape. The members have a rigidity characteristic sufficient for maintaining its shape. A reflecting layer is bonded directly to the molded member to provide a reflector surface without facets or sharp angles. The shape of the member is comprised of a rear portion being an involute spline and side portions being defined by conic sections. The method of providing such a reflector decreases the amount of light reflected back into the lamp and trapped or absorbed within the lighting fixture. The method further eliminates the need for adhesive layers between the metal reflecting layer and the substrate which generally decreases the optical efficiency of the luminaire.
