  • Publication number: 20240141182
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a multi-layer coating film having at least a clear coating film and a base coating film and having good chipping resistance, and preferably to provide a multi-layer coating film further having good designability. The multi-layer coating film of the present invention is a multi-layer coating film comprising a substrate, a base layer formed thereon, and a clear layer formed on the base layer, wherein the base layer comprises a luster pigment, wherein the base layer has an erosion index of 45 ?m2/g or less where the erosion index is a value obtained by multiplying an erosion rate of the base layer by a thickness of the base layer, and wherein the erosion rate of the base layer is measured using a micro slurry jet erosion method at a projection power at which an erosion rate with respect to a silicon wafer is 0.635 ?m/g.

  • Patent number: 11077405
    Abstract: Module for gas separation that maintains moisture retention of a gas separation active layer at a uniform level has a composite hollow-fiber membrane configured as the interior of an exterior body and has a porous hollow-fiber support body and a gas separation active layer disposed on the surface of the hollow-fiber support body. The exterior body has a supply port and a discharge port for a first gas passing through the outer side of the composite hollow-fiber membrane, and a supply port and a discharge port for a second gas passing through the inner side of the composite hollow-fiber membrane. The first gas flows through a first space enclosed by the exterior body and the outer side of the composite hollow-fiber membrane and the second gas flows through a second space separated by the composite hollow-fiber membrane and the exterior body. The first space is filled with an absorbing solution.
