Abstract:
A method and composition are disclosed for applying an organic acid-containing aqueous composition to a glass surface to prevent staining thereof wherein a wetting agent is employed to provide uniform and complete wetting of the glass surface with a uniform continuous film of said organic acid-containing aqueous composition.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for providing a temporary layer of a release agent on a substrate such as glass by applying a liquid dispersion of solid particles which do not bond to the glass or form a film and evaporating the liquid to yield a layer of loosely adherent particles on the substrate surface.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for reducing the reactivity of a glass surface by blocking reactive sites such as silanol groups at the glass surface with a molecular layer of fluorocarbon. The method involves adsorbing multivalent metal cations at the glass surface to provide anchoring sites for the chemisorption of otherwise nonreactive fluorocarbons.
Abstract:
A spraying device having a liquid dispersing nozzle mountable in association with a chamber for directing a stream of gas can be used to provide a spray stream enveloped within a shroud of temperature and humidity conditioned air or gas for controlled evaporation of solvent from spray particles or for preventing reaction of particle components with the ambient atmosphere, and/or to prevent particle deposition and build-up on electrodes positioned so as to produce electrostatically charged particles.
Abstract:
A method for preparing an electroless gold plating bath comprising a gold salt and a complexing agent is improved by adding the gold salt as a concentrated solution to a concentrated solution of the complexing agent either maintained at or subsequently heated to above ambient temperature in order to eliminate the step of aging the plating bath. The plating efficiency of an electroless gold plating bath comprising a gold salt and an alkali carbonate complexing agent and the quality of the resulting gold film are improved by buffering the bath with an alkali metal bicarbonate thus maintaining a pH between about 8.5 to about 9.5.
Abstract:
An improved manually actuated liquid-atomizing pump assembly for non-pressurized pharmaceutical atomizers comprising a pump actuator unit and a pump unit, which causes a spray of substantially the same particle size spectrum to be discharged from the atomizer nozzle with each actuation of the pump; the improvement resides in a resilient mechanical resistance interposed between the manual pump actuator and the pump, where the resilient resistance requires a very definite amount of force to be overcome.
Abstract:
A reciprocating crossfire set of rinsing means rinses the surface of a glass sheet while maintaining a uniform thickness of rinsing medium in an area on the glass surface where a subsequent spraying operation is to be carried out. The rinsing means are angled obliquely downward, rearward and outward, and rinse water or other medium is supplied at a rate sufficient to force excess rinsing medium off the side and the trailing edge of the sheet, rather than being delivered into the spray area or accumulated along its trailing edge portion. The uniform thickness of rinsing medium prepares the substrate for receiving a more uniform transparent metal-boron coating in the spraying operation that follows.
Abstract:
Siloxane organic hybrid polymers and a method of making them by condensation polymerization reaction of organoalkoxysilane in the presence of organic film-forming polymers are disclosed. Alkali metal carboxylic acid catalyst is also disclosed, as well as the incorporation of cerium oxide for attenuation of ultraviolet radiation.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed wherein a glass substrate is provided with a durable non-wetting surface by treatment with a perfluoroalkyl alkyl silane and a fluorinated olefin telomer.
