Abstract: This invention relates to a method for making polyester fabric treated with a CBD powder to provide a novel CBD finish on the polyester fabric. The polyester fabric is treated with a CBD powder to provide a novel finish. The treatment process includes a washing step, wherein the treating CBD water is added to a water channel before the finishing step. Then, the polyester fabric is passed through the water channel having the treating CBD water in the ratio of 1:1000, which is one gram of CBD powder to each 1000 grams of water. The flow rate of the treating CBD water has a ratio of 5:1000, which adds 5 grams of CBD powder to each 1000 grams of water in order to apply the correct treatment of CBD water. In addition, the polyester fabric moves at a speed of approximately 20 meters per minute through the water channel, and the bathing treatment has a normal temperature of 30-35° C. The maximum temperature of the drying machine is 220° C., but has a preferred range of 170-220° C.

Abstract: A liquid polymeric coating composition that upon application to a substrate, such as a coil substrate, preferably does not exhibit the edge build and edge blistering that commonly occurs with conventional liquid polymeric coating compositions. In some embodiments, the liquid polymeric coating composition is modified by tailoring the surface tension, the openness of the coating composition as indicated by the modulus of elasticity, or a combination thereof to reduce edge build and edge blistering. The modified liquid polymeric composition may be applied to a surface of the substrate and cured to form a film coating that reduces or alleviates commonly encountered edge defects in conventional liquid polymeric coating compositions, such as edge build and edge blistering, which may avoid the need for edge trimming of the coated substrate. The coated coil substrate is well suited for forming food or beverage containers or portions thereof.

Abstract: Embodiments provide for introducing a first fluid into a bioreactor and while introducing the first fluid into the bioreactor, circulating a second fluid with a reagent at a first flow rate through the bioreactor. The bioreactor may be maintained in a first orientation for a first period of time to allow at least a first portion of the reagent to coat the bioreactor. The second fluid may then be circulated at a second flow rate slower than the first flow rate to allow a second portion of the reagent to coat the bioreactor. Introduction of the first fluid may promote coating of the bioreactor by ultrafiltration. The introduction of the first fluid may be stopped. A third fluid may be circulated through the bioreactor to remove a portion of the reagent not coated on the bioreactor.
