Abstract: The present disclosure provides a volatile material dispensing device that includes a container, a wax composition, a wick, and a sleeve having or formed at least in part by a volatile material, for example, a fragrance or pest control material. The sleeve is positioned between the wax composition and the container and configured to be exposed and release volatile material as the wax composition is consumed by the wick via combustion.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a candle that includes a jar having an interior surface, a fuel within the jar, a wick positioned within the fuel, and a material layer at least partially extending between the fuel and the interior surface of the jar, wherein the material layer includes a hydrophobic molecule. Further provided herein is a method for producing a candle, which includes a step of providing a jar having an interior surface, a step of pre-coating the interior surface with a hydrophobic molecule, a step of pouring a fuel composition into the jar, and a step of allowing the fuel composition to solidify.

Abstract: A chemically-strippable, alcohol-resistant floor coating contains a crosslinked polymer, an alkali soluble resin, and an amine functional compound. The coating exhibits a Strippability Level of at least 40% after 300 cycles in a solvent on an abrasion machine, and an Ethanol Resistance of at least 60 percent, as measured by a 60° Gloss Retention Test. A floor coating composition comprising an aqueous dispersion of a crosslinkable polymer, an alkali soluble resin, an amine functional compound, and a crosslinker can be applied to a floor to make the coating.

Abstract: A peelable surface coating system comprises a multilayer peelable surface coating adhered to multi-section substrate with joints between sections. The multilayer peelable surface coating has strength and flexibility layers and a wear layer. Each strength and flexibility layer has a thickness of <0.6 mil and a Konig hardness of <40 seconds. The wear layer has a Konig value of >60 seconds and a thickness of from 0.2 to 3 mils. The strength and flexibility layers have a combined total thickness of 3.3 to 6 mils. The peelable coating system spans joints between sections and is peelable from both the substrate and the joints, and has an elongation (E %) of >350%, a break force maximum load (BF gm-Force) of >3000 gm-Force, a total thickness (T mils) of from 3.5 to 10 mils, and wherein: (E %)×(BF gm-Force)×(T mils)>4×106.
