Abstract: A multilayer self-adhesive fouling release coating composition includes an optional removable underlying liner; an adhesive layer applied over and to the optional underlying liner when the latter is present; and a synthetic material layer applied over and to the adhesive layer. Optionally, an intermediate silicone tie coat is applied over and to the synthetic material layer. A silicone fouling release top coat is applied over and to the synthetic material layer, or, when present, over and to the intermediate silicone tie coat. Optionally, a removable polymeric film is applied over and to the fouling release top coat.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a particle having a chemical conversion coating on at least a portion of the particle surface. The present invention is further directed to a coated substrate comprising: (a) a surface that has been contacted with a particle having a chemical conversion coating on at least a portion of the particle surface such that at least some portion of the substrate becomes treated with the conversion 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: The invention concerns a multilayer self-adhesive fouling release film with textured surface (1) provided with a surface morphology comprising a regular or randomly distributed pattern of ribs (3). The invention also concerns a method for producing a multilayer self-adhesive fouling release film with textured surface (1) provided with a surface morphology comprising a regular or randomly distributed pattern of ribs (3), a use of the method for producing a multilayer self-adhesive fouling release film with textured surface (1) according to the invention and a method for producing a coated substrate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an intumescent coating composition comprising: (a) a polyepoxy-functional compound; (b) a beta-hydroxy ester of (meth)acrylic acid comprising a plurality of beta-hydroxy (meth)acrylic ester groups; (c) a compound bearing a plurality of functional groups that are reactive with the epoxy groups of the polyepoxy-functional compound (a) and the (meth)acrylic ester groups of the beta-hydroxy ester of (meth)acrylic acid comprising a plurality of beta-hydroxy (meth)acrylic ester groups; and (d) a compound providing an expansion gas upon thermal decomposition; wherein compounds (a) to (d) differ from each other, a method for coating a substrate with said intumescent coating composition and to a substrate at least partially coated with a coating deposited from said intumescent coating composition.

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.

Abstract: A multilayer self-adhesive fouling release coating composition includes an optional removable underlying liner; an adhesive layer applied over and to the optional underlying liner when the latter is present; and a synthetic material layer applied over and to the adhesive layer. Optionally, an intermediate silicone tie coat is applied over and to the synthetic material layer. A silicone fouling release top coat is applied over and to the synthetic material layer, or, when present, over and to the intermediate silicone tie coat. Optionally, a removable polymeric film is applied over and to the fouling release top coat.

Abstract: An overcoatable primer coating composition comprising i) a solvent-borne epoxy functional acrylic binder formed from glycidyl methacrylate and at least one further ethylenically unsaturated monomer; and ii) a crosslinker comprising a polyamine. The invention extends to a coating system comprising the overcoatable primer coating composition and an overcoat coating composition.
