  • Patent number: 9731320
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a process for applying a waterborne coating composition in a spray booth and a system thereof. The disclosure is particularly directed to a process for introducing water into incoming air for the spray booth to produce a conditioned spray booth having appropriate humidity levels. The process of this disclosure is particularly useful for applying a waterborne coating composition having effect pigments in a low humidity and high temperature climate.

  • Publication number: 20160008848
    Abstract: A process for producing a dry coating layer over a substrate is provided. The process can comprise irradiating a radiation curable wet coating layer applied over the substrate with a high power mobile radiation device at a predetermined linear velocity along the surface of the substrate and at a predetermined curing distance. The mobile radiation device can produce radiation having peak radiation wavelength in a range of from 250 nm to 450 nm and can have a peak irradiation power in a range of from 0.5 W/cm2 to 10 W/cm2. The wet coating layer can be cured within a few seconds to a few minutes. The cured dry coating layer is free from curing defects. The process and the system disclosed herein can be used for vehicle coating refinish and repairs, especially for collision and cosmetic repairs of automobiles.

  • Patent number: 9156057
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for controlling the viscosity of a sprayable mixture. The sprayable mixture forms a layer of a coating composition on an applied substrate and forms crosslinked network after drying and curing the layer. The dried and cured composition provides the substrate with a coating having a good appearance.
