Abstract: Use of a rheological agent in a coating composition to enhance chemical resistance of a coating layer formed by the coating composition when coated on at least a portion of a substrate, wherein the rheological agent comprises at least 85 wt % of a compound having a melting temperature of greater than 95° C.

Abstract: A radio frequency signaling system includes a curable coating composition configured to be cured to form a cured coating and a sensor received in the curable coating composition. The sensor includes circuitry forming an inductor-capacitor circuit. The circuitry has a maximum outer diameter of 10 ?m-2.0 mm. The circuitry is configured to generate an electromagnetic field in response to an external radio frequency signal. A container configured to be monitored by a radio frequency signaling system is also provided. The container includes: a container body having an outer surface and an inner surface; a cured coating on the inner surface and/or the outer surface of the container body; and a sensor positioned in the cured coating configured to detect absorption of a fluid contained in the container body by the cured coating.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a coated substrate comprising: (a) a surface that has been impacted with an abrasive particle and a dopant such that at least some portion of the surface becomes attached with the dopant; and (b) a film-forming layer on at least a portion of the impacted surface, wherein the film-forming layer has been deposited from a film-forming composition; wherein the surface is impacted substantially simultaneously with the abrasive particle and the dopant; and wherein when the dopant comprises iron phosphate, zinc phosphate, manganese phosphate, cerium oxide, the film-forming composition is not a two-component epoxy clear coat.

Abstract: A tank or a pipe having an internal steel surface, at least a portion of the internal steel surface comprising a coating system. The coating system being formed of an overcoat layer and an overcoat-enhancing layer, the overcoat-enhancing layer being interposed between the steel surface and the overcoat layer. In use, the overcoat-enhancing layer enhances the chemical resistance of the overcoat layer to aggressive cargo types.
