Abstract: Solvent-borne coating compositions and methods for forming coated substrates are provided. In one example, a solvent-borne coating composition includes a solvent(s), a colorant(s), a binder including one or more resins, a sag control agent, and a wax dispersion. The sag control agent includes urea crystals that are present in an amount of from about 0.5 wt. % to about 6 wt. % based on the weight of the binder. The wax dispersion includes ethylene vinyl acetate-based wax particles present in an amount of from about 3 wt. % to about 8 wt. % based on the weight of the binder. The solvent-borne coating composition has a non-volatile content of from about 11 to about 30 vol. % based on the volume of the solvent-borne coating composition.

Abstract: A moldable eraser kit includes a first silicone polymer, a second silicone polymer, an abrasive agent, a catalyst configured to catalyze a reaction between the first silicone polymer and the second silicone polymer at room temperature, and at least two containers such that the first silicone polymer, the second silicone polymer, and the catalyst are not all present in the same container. Also disclosed herein is a method of making an eraser including the steps of mixing a first silicone polymer, a second silicone polymer, a catalyst, an abrasive agent, and optionally one or more additives to form a mixture, the mixture being free of polyvinyl chloride. The method also includes molding the mixture to form a shape and curing the mixture in the shape at room temperature to form a molded eraser.
