Abstract: A water repellent coating composition comprises a fluororesin powder having a specific surface area ranging from 27 to 48 m.sup.2 /g and a molecular weight ranging from 10,000 to 100,000; an acrylic-silicone binder resin; and a solvent. The fluororesin may be preferably at least one resin selected from polytetrafluoroethylene resins, tetrafluoroethylene/perfluoro(alkyl vinyl ether) copolymer resins, and tetrafluoroethylene/hexafluoropropylene copolymer resins. The coating composition can be used in various fields including constructions, civil engineering, transportation, communication. The coating films and coated articles produced with the water repellent coating composition exhibit excellent water repellency, antisnow- or antiice-sticking properties, and weatherability.

Abstract: A beam of light emitted from a light source and then modulated is focused through a write head onto a surface of a substrate which is coated with a photosensitive material and is rotated at a predetermined constant rotational speed. The write head and the substrate are displaced relatively in the radial direction of the substrate. While an optical axis of the beam of light is displaced in the direction in which the relative displacement speed between the write head and the substrate is decreased or increased, the substrate is exposed in such a way that a locus of a first turn or wind of predetermined tracks or pit arrays is recorded. Thereafter, while the substrate is rotated at the constant rotational speed, during the next rotation of the substrate the projection of the beam of light is interrupted and the optical axis of the beam of light is returned to its initial position.
