  • Patent number: 12365006
    Abstract: Provided herein are powder formulations for a primer coat and a topcoat, and methods of applying the powder formulations to at least a portion of a surface of a substrate. Such methods can include applying a powder formulation to a substrate for a topcoat alone or in combination with a primer coat, and then heating the substrate, thereby forming a cured coating on at least the portion of the surface of the substrate. Such heating can be conducted in a single cure step to provide the cured coating including a cured topcoat alone or in combination with a cured primer coat.

  • Publication number: 20250178976
    Abstract: A porous refractory in the K2O—SiO2—B2O3 system is formed by chemical direct foaming by heating to over 600° C., resulting in adherent black or white foam. The foam can function as highly porous thermal insulation, a high or low thermal emissivity surface, as a sealant for deteriorated refractory surfaces, as a filler for pockmarks/holes/gaps or as a bonding agent for parts with large gaps between them.

  • Patent number: 12281042
    Abstract: Bulk paint and ceramic powder systems, methods of forming same, and methods of forming a flexible ceramic coating on a metal substrate are disclosed. The systems may include a ceramic composition having between 2 to 30 weight percent of an alkali metal oxide, such as K2O, Na2O, and Li2O or mixtures thereof, between 10 to 74 weight percent SiO2, and between 23 to 79 weight percent B2O3. Additives that are nonwetting with molten metals, such as boron nitride, provide durable coatings for metal processing operations. The ceramic composition may include less than 5 weight percent additional metal oxides. The bulk paint system further may include water and a cellulosic suspension agent to form a bulk paint. The ceramic powder system may be processed to form a uniform powder. The bulk paint or uniform powder may be applied to a metal substrate, such as a ferrous metal substrate, dried, and heated to form a flexible coating on the metal substrate.

  • Publication number: 20240344390
    Abstract: A motor head cover for a roller shade that has an electric motor releasably secured to an end bracket by an insert plate. The motor head cover has a C-shaped body having a mouth opening and an outer circumferential surface. The outer circumferential surface has an inner body surface, an outer body surface, an outer, inwardly directed, side surface, and an inner, inwardly directed, side surface. Each of the side surfaces extend inwardly from the circumferential surface at approximately 90 degrees to collectively form a raceway with the inner body surface. The inner, inwardly directed, side surface is configured to be engaged about a circumferential lip on the insert plate to assist in releasably securing the motor head cover thereto. The inner, inwardly directed side surface, has a series of spaced apart notches that assist in a non-destructive flexure of the motor head cover when securing about the insert plate.
