Abstract: Disclosed are compositions containing a pigment mixture and a binder. The pigment mixture contains a non-ionic platy filler and at least a second pigment material. The non-ionic platy filler may be present in an amount of 1% by weight to 9% by weight and the at least one second pigment material may be present in an amount of at least 30% by weight based on total weight of the pigment mixture. The at least one second pigment material may have a weighted average oil absorption of 20 g linseed oil absorbed per 100 g at least one second pigment material to 100 g linseed oil absorbed per 100 g at least one second pigment material based on total weight of the pigment mixture. Also disclosed are articles comprising an adhesive comprising one of the compositions in an at least partially dried state positioned between first and second substrates.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a coating composition comprising a film forming component, an effective amount of a copper containing glass particle and an effective amount of a color shift mitigating agent. Substrates coated therewith are also described.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a sealing composition comprising: (a) a polysiloxane; (b) a reactive polysiloxane comprising at least one reactive functional group; and (c) water; wherein the weight ratio of polysiloxane to reactive polysiloxane is from 2.7:1 to 4:1. Also disclosed are coated substrates and methods of coating a substrate.

Abstract: Pneumatic spray gun (10) and cartridge tip assemblies for applying sprayable materials to various surfaces are disclosed. A tube of flowable texture material to be sprayed having a cartridge tip (100) may be loaded into a pressure canister of a texture material spray gun (10). The cartridge tip (100) may include radially outwardly extending ribs (130), radially inwardly extending recesses and/or other features that engage with corresponding features of the spray nozzle assembly to reduce or prevent relative rotation between the cartridge tip (100) and the spray nozzle assembly.

Abstract: Pneumatic spray guns (10) for applying sprayable materials (M) to various surfaces are disclosed. During use of the pneumatic spray guns (10), a tube (T) of flowable texture material (M) to be sprayed is loaded into a pressure canister (12) of the spray gun (10). Pressurized air is fed to the tube (T) of material (M) to be sprayed and is also fed to a spray nozzle region of the gun (10) to contact the material (M) after it has exited the tube (T) in order to provide a desired spray pattern (S). The pressure applied to the pressure canister (12) and/or the pressure applied to the spray nozzle (20) may be varied in order to control the spray pattern (S).

Abstract: An aerosol actuator has a main body member, a nozzle member defining an outlet opening, and a selector member. The outlet opening defines a fluid flow direction. The selector member is moved to obtain different fluid spray patterns. The selector member is distal to the nozzle member and the fluid flow direction.

Abstract: An aerosol dispensing system has a container assembly, an actuator assembly, and a trigger member. The container assembly has a valve assembly. The actuator assembly has an actuator housing defining a rail portion, a trigger member pivotably attached to the actuator housing, and an outlet assembly defining an outlet opening. The outlet assembly is slidably supported relative to the actuator housing by the rail portion. The trigger member engages the outlet assembly such that application of deliberate manual force on the trigger member causes pivoting movement of the trigger member relative to the actuator housing and such that pivoting movement of the trigger member relative to the actuator housing causes linear movement of the outlet assembly relative to the actuator housing. The outlet assembly engages the valve assembly such that linear movement of the outlet assembly alters the valve assembly from a closed configuration to a fully open configuration.

Abstract: A system for dispensing texture material in an orange peel pattern has an aerosol dispenser and a contained material. The aerosol dispenser is a container assembly, a valve assembly, and an outlet assembly. The contained material is texture material and propellant material. The texture material comprises water as a solvent/carrer, latex binder, fillers, and drier accelerant. The outlet assembly alters the cross-sectional of the outlet opening to correspond to a desired orange peel texture pattern. The valve assembly allows the propellant material to force at least a portion of the texture material out of the outlet opening in a spray pattern corresponding to the desired orange peel texture pattern. The drier accelerant promotes drying of the dispensed texture material.

Abstract: A system for dispensing texture material in a desired spray pattern that substantially matches an existing texture pattern on a target surface has a container assembly, an actuator assembly, and a concentrate comprising a solvent/carrier comprising water, wall texture material comprising at least one filler and a resin/binder, a first anti-corrosion material, where the first anti-corrosion material is a phosphate ester, and a second anti-corrosion material, where the second anti-corrosion material is sodium nitrite. At least one of the first and second anti-corrosion materials forms a film on the inner surface of the container assembly while the concentrate is stored within the container assembly. The film inhibits corrosion of the corrodible material forming at least part of the inner surface of the container assembly. The first and second anti-corrosion materials together comprise 0.125-7.00% by weight of the concentrate.

Abstract: The invention relates to interlocking compartments which are assembled to form a display unit. In some embodiments, the interlocking compartments include a first compartment and a second compartment having a top surface, a bottom surface and a rear surface. The bottom surface of the second compartment includes a tongue and the top surface of the first compartment includes a groove for receiving the tongue. The rear surface of the second compartment includes a projection and the rear surface of the first compartment and the top surface of the first compartment form a corner having an indentation for receiving the projection. In some embodiments, the length of the bottom surface of the first compartment is greater than the length of the bottom surface of the second compartment, and the length of the bottom surface of the second compartment is greater than the length of the bottom surface of the third compartment.
