Abstract: An applicator with a surface having a first wetting angle and a first surface area, which surface area has grafted thereto a layer of ion-producing gas plasma having a second wetting angle and a second surface are, wherein the second wetting angle is less than the first wetting angle and the second surface area is greater than the first surface area.

Abstract: A pigmented ink composition comprising a radiation curable component and a pyrrolopyrrol or isoindolinone pigment; a method for decorating a substrate with the pigmented ink compositions; and a method for decorating a substrate with hot stamping foil and the pigmented ink compositions.

Abstract: A method for applying a decoration to a glass substrate comprising applying an ink composition comprising a bis phenol-A epoxy resin to the glass in a predetermined design that leaves some areas of the glass ink free, said ink being operable when cured to bond to the glass substrate, and curing the ink on the substrate by exposing it to the radiation by which it is curable thereby bonding the ink to the glass substrate.

Abstract: A method for applying a decorative coating to glass and the resulting glass products.

Abstract: A pigmented ink composition comprising a radiation curable component and a pyrrolopyrrol or isoindolinone pigment; a method for decorating a substrate with the pigmented ink compositions; and a method for decorating a substrate with hot stamping foil and the pigmented ink compositions.

Abstract: A method for decorating an article with a plurality of separate and distinct radiation curable compositions, without the need for completely curing each composition prior to application of the next composition, comprising separately applying each single composition to the article in a pre-determined design and subjecting said applied composition to the radiation by which it is curable for a period of time sufficient to effect a partial cure of said applied composition, and repeating the application of each single composition followed by partial radiation curing thereof until the last of the desired number of compositions has been applied, after which all of said applied compositions are subjected to the radiation by which they are curable for a period of time sufficient to effect a complete cure of all of said applied compositions.

Abstract: A permanent wave composition having a pH of 6.0 to 7.0 comprising 10-20% by weight of a cysteamine reducing agent compound in an aqueous carrier, and a method and kit for permanent waving hair using the composition of the invention.

Abstract: A color display facsimile of a cosmetic product comprised of the formulation of an original cosmetic product and prescribed amounts of each of a thermoplastic, copolymeric hardening agent and a hydrocarbonous-based temperature control component. The resultant display facsimile is capable of exhibiting the exact-likeness characteristics of true color, size, and shape of the original cosmetic product. The method for preparing said color display facsimile is also disclosed.

Abstract: An applicator with a surface having a first wetting angle and a first surface area, which surface area has grafted thereto a layer of ion-producing gas plasma having a second wetting angle and a second surface are, wherein the second wetting angle is less than the first wetting angle and the second surface area is greater than the first surface area.

Abstract: A method for decorating a substrate with hot stamping foil comprising the steps of:a) applying an ink composition comprised of a cationically radiation cured cycloaliphatic epoxide to the substrate in a predetermined design, said ink being operable when cured to bond to the substrate,b) curing the ink on the substrate by exposing to the radiation by which it is curable, thereby bonding the ink composition to the substrate,c) pressing a sheet of hot stamping foil against the substrate with a die heated to a temperature sufficient to cause a portion of the hot stamping foil to adhere to the heated, cured ink design but not to the ink-free areas of the substrate, andd) removing the die, thereby leaving behind a portion of the foil adhered to the ink design.
