  • Publication number: 20170312793
    Abstract: A novel nail polish system is provided. The system includes a non UV-curable base/adhesion coat, a UV- (or UV LED-) curable, water-removable color coat, and a UV- (or UV LED-) curable, highly wear-resistant top coat. The nail color includes water soluble components, making it removable by an aqueous remover once the top coat is breached, allowing water contact. The top coat composition comprises high concentrations of inorganic nanoparticles, thus providing superior scratch protection.

  • Patent number: 9598607
    Abstract: This invention is related to compositions that can be used to protect surfaces, such as those found on bowling lanes (both synthetic and wood). The compositions are low viscosity and contain little to no VOCs (volatile organic compounds). In one embodiment, the flowable compositions are 100% solids, while in another embodiment, they are solvent-borne compositions that only include VOC-exempt solvents. Regardless of the embodiment, the compositions can be cured via UV LED light to yield scratch, abrasion, and impact resistant coatings.
