Abstract: A dry erase writing surface has a low gloss level of 20-40 that can be utilized as both a writable/erasable dry erase surface and a projection surface, formed by a single component, 100% solids polyurethane, ambient cured, dry erase-coating formulation. The coating formulation includes a low NCO isocyanate, a cure accelerating catalyst, a flow, leveling, and defoaming agent, a silica powder matting agent to reduce the gloss level and an exempt solvent to reduce the viscosity and the gloss level. The surface is ready for use in 24 hours. The coating has a low VOC of between 0 g/l and 5 g/l. The coating is applied to a prepared surface of a substrate to form a film thickness of 1-3 mils. Marks on the dry erase surface remain virtually invisible after 2500 cycles.

Abstract: The present invention provides a wallcovering comprising a laminate of three layers including: (1) a scrim backing layer, (2) a specially formulated, oriented polypropylene (OPP) film forming a substrate layer that is printable, and (3) a UV Cured Clear Coating or an oriented polypropylene film as a top layer forming a top layer.

Abstract: A composition for applying to a variety of surfaces to impart dry erase properties to a substrate surface. A single component paint applied to a substrate surface by aerosol spray, brush, or roller. Currently factory applied, baked on finishes and two-part coating systems are available, but a standard single component paint formulated to withstand the penetration of dry erase markers and cleaners is not in use. Further, an endless number of colors can be produced through the addition of the appropriate pigment to the dry erase paint formulation.
