Abstract: A radio frequency signaling system includes a curable coating composition configured to be cured to form a cured coating and a sensor received in the curable coating composition. The sensor includes circuitry forming an inductor-capacitor circuit. The circuitry has a maximum outer diameter of 10 ?m-2.0 mm. The circuitry is configured to generate an electromagnetic field in response to an external radio frequency signal. A container configured to be monitored by a radio frequency signaling system is also provided. The container includes: a container body having an outer surface and an inner surface; a cured coating on the inner surface and/or the outer surface of the container body; and a sensor positioned in the cured coating configured to detect absorption of a fluid contained in the container body by the cured coating.

Abstract: An erodible antifouling coating composition for application, for example, to ship's hulls to potentially prevent the adhesion and build-up of fouling agents on the hull is described. The coating composition includes 10 to 60% by solids weight of an erodible binder system that excludes a triorgano tin based binder; one or more antifouling agents; and 1 to 10% solids weight of a mixture of silicone oils, wherein the mixture includes a first and second silicone oil each comprising alkyl and aryl groups attached to silicone in a different ratio. A process for producing the composition, a substrate coated with the composition, and a process of coating a substrate with the composition are also described.

Abstract: An erodible antifouling coating composition for application, for example,to ship's hulls to potentially prevent the adhesion and build up of fouling agents on the hull is described. The coating composition comprises an erodible binder system excluding a triorgano tin based binder; optionally, one or more antifouling agents; and at least one silicone oil. A process for producing the composition, a substrate coated with the composition, and a process of coating a substrate with the composition are also described.

Abstract: A fitting, especially a roof liner for the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle is provided with a flat light source having a plate-shaped light guide which radiates light in the direction of the visible side of the fitting. The front surface of the plate-shaped light guide protrudes at least partially above the flat side of the interior fitting opposite the visible side and actively cooperates with a source of illumination.

Abstract: An epoxy based primer composition comprising at least 10% zinc oxide w/w dry solids is described. A coated metal substrate is also described comprising a metal substrate, at least one epoxy based primer layer, the primer layer comprising at least 10% w/w zinc oxide in the dry primer coating, and at least one top-coat adhered to the primer layer. A process of coating a metal substrate is also described.

Abstract: An interior fitting for a vehicle, particularly for a motor vehicle, comprises a supporting body, which is provided, at least in areas, with a sensor-functional planar structure and with a covering layer that is located on the side facing the interior. Different output signals can be generated by means of the planar structure according to the location of action thereupon. According to the invention, the covering layer is flexibly designed and completely covers the sensor-functional planar structure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a light emitting panel (1) to be mounted against the roof of the passenger compartment of a vehicle, comprising a transparent plate-like light guiding member (2) whereby light is coupled in through one or more side surfaces (21) of the member (2) and light is coupled out through the lower surface(22) of the member (2) for lighting said compartment. According to the invention a light transmitting cover (200) is attached to said lower surface (22) of the member (2).
