Abstract: A coated substrate comprising a coating extending over at least a part of the substrate. The coating is obtainable from a coating composition comprising (a) a polymeric binder; and (b) a feathering reducing agent comprising a carboxylic acid reactive functional group. The coated portion of the substrate comprises a pretreatment layer. The pretreatment layer is obtainable from a pretreatment composition that comprises a trivalent chromium compound. The invention extends to a method of coating a pre-treated substrate and a coated package, such as a metal can.

Abstract: A coating composition comprising (a) a polyester binder material; and (b) a feathering reducing agent. The feathering reducing agent is selected from (i) an acrylic feathering reducing agent comprising a functional group selected from hydroxyl, epoxide, phosphatized epoxide and/or acid-functional; (ii) a hydroxy-functional polyester feathering reducing agent; (iii) a feathering reducing agent comprising a functional group selected from amine, amide, imine and/or nitrile; (iv) a phosphatized epoxy feathering reducing agent; (v) a phenolic resin feathering reducing agent; and/or (vi) a feathering reducing agent comprising an oxazolyl functional group. The invention extends to a substrate coated with the coating composition and use of the coating composition to reduce feathering.

Abstract: A functional triangular apparatus for multi-exercise of lower and upper extremities using resistance bands encircling designated parts. When exercising legs the triangular apparatus is stationary or tilted back at various angles to balance on two feet. Arms exercise with stretch bands under elevated larger base while feet hold it down.

Abstract: A catheter balloon arrangement for application in tortuous blood vessels. First and second spiraled balloons are coupled to a catheter body portion. The spiraled balloons can have first and second apexes with a pitch length there between configured to encourage tortuous compatibility between the catheter balloon arrangement and a body lumen. A method of treatment with an embodiment of a catheter balloon arrangement is also provided.
