Abstract: The instant invention provides a coated container device, and method of making the same. The coated container device according to the instant invention comprises: (1) a metal substrate; and (2) one or more crosslinked coating layers associated with the metal substrate, wherein the one or more crosslinked coating layers are derived from the application of one or more aqueous dispersions to at least one surface of the metal substrate, and wherein the one or more aqueous dispersion comprise: (a) one or more a base polymer; (b) one or more a stabilizing agent; (c) optionally one or more neutralizing agents, (d) one or more crosslinking agents; and (e) water.

Abstract: The present invention provides a dispersion, and a process for producing a dispersion. The dispersion according to the present invention comprises (a) one or more subparticles having an average particle size diameter in the range of 0.01 to 9 ?m; (b) one or more base polymers at least partially encapsulating the one or more subparticles; wherein said at least partially encapsulated one or more subparticles have an average particle size diameter in the range of 0.05 to 10 ?m; (c) one or more stabilizing agents; and (d) a liquid media comprising water.

Abstract: The instant invention provides a coating composition, a process of making a coating composition, a coated article, and a method of making such articles. The coating composition according to the present invention comprises: (a) a dispersion comprising; one or more base polymers; at least one first pigment partially encapsulated by said one or more base polymers, wherein said first pigment is a metal oxide selected from the group consisting of TiO2, SiO2, ZnO, Al2O3, combinations thereof; optionally one or more stabilizing agents; and a liquid media; and (b) optionally a binder composition.

Abstract: The invention provides, in one embodiment, a device for performing scrub testing on a plurality of samples simultaneously, including a plurality of scrubbing devices. A stage is provided which positions the plurality of samples in contact with the plurality of scrubbing devices. The scrubbing devices can individually be provided with different weights to produce different forces on the samples. A motion producing device produces one or both of linear and rotational motion between the brushes and the samples. The scrubbing devices are held in the stage so as move freely vertically.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a coating apparatus and method for substantially simultaneously forming a plurality of coatings on a substrate and to a method of analyzing at least one characteristic or property of the coatings.
