Abstract: The present invention is directed to a multiple component coating composition comprising (a) a film forming binder component having isocyanate reactive groups; (b) a stable polyisocyanate solution comprising organic liquid and up to 30% by weight, based on the weight of the polyisocyanate solution, of a polyisocyanate having reactive isocyanate groups selected from an aromatic polyisocyanate having tertiary isocyanate groups or a (meth)acrylic polymer containing reactive isocyanate groups; and (c) optionally, a tinting composition comprising pigment, a dispersing agent and an organic liquid carrier; whereby components (a), (b) and (c) are blended together before application to a substrate and after application to a substrate the composition is cured to form a finish. The present invention is also directed to a method of producing a finish on a substrate and to the resulting coated substrate.

Abstract: A method for continuous transferring of hollow plastic articles from a first station to a second station, wherein articles at the first station are arranged in a first number of N.sub.1 columns and wherein articles at the second station are arranged in a second number of N.sub.2 columns, and wherein N.sub.2 differs from N.sub.1 and equals N.sub.1 times x, x being either an integer greater than 1 or a fraction, includes the steps of: transferring a first batch of articles on a carrying member from the first station to an array of N.sub.2 columns on the holding member at the second station; advancing at least a portion of the articles on a first number of holding members from the second station toward the blow molding station and replacing the advanced first number of holding members with a corresponding second number of holding members; transferring a second batch of articles on the carrying member from the first station to an array of N.sub.
