Abstract: A tool (10) for lubricating a chain (50), e.g. of a motorbike or bicycle, includes a block that defines a chain passage (22) through the block for receiving the chain (50). A first lubricant channel (438) through the block can be used to apply lubricant (56) into the chain passage where it is directed onto the chain. A second lubricant channel (300) can collect excess lubricant to allow the lubricant to drain and be collected for tidier operation. Lubricant channels can be provided for both aerosol and liquid lubricants.

Abstract: Coating composition, articles, and methods for applying reactive silanol coating compositions having electron deficient surfaces formed as the coating composition cures wherein organic radical groups from the silanes are forced to the surface of the coating. The silicon atoms in the interpenetrating silicon-oxygen structure below retain electrons skewing the electron cloud downward creating an electron deficient or net positively charged surface. The resultant surface exhibits self-sterilization without toxic biocide additives due to the electron deficient surface. The surface is also extremely tight and thereby absent nutrients for microorganisms, discouraging organic growth such as mold. This unique positively charged surface further exhibits both hydrophobic and oleophobic qualities providing ease of cleaning for maintenance, particularly for hospital beds, equipment, floors, walls, curtains, bathrooms, or all the surfaces inside and outside of an ambulance and the equipment contained therein.
