Abstract: Coating compositions based on water-redispersible powders comprising water-soluble polymer and organosilicon compounds, wherein the organosilicon compounds comprise at least one low molecular weight organosilicon compound having a viscosity of not more than 5,000 mm.sup.2 /s at 25.degree. C. and at least one high molecular weight organopolysiloxane resin which has a viscosity of at least 100,000 mm.sup.2 /s at 25.degree. C. or is solid at room temperature.

Abstract: A continuous process for manufacturing a coated fiber reinforced pultruded article or coated extrudate and the coating composition for use in this process. The coating composition includes an isocyanate resin, at least one active hydrogen-containing resin and at least one solvent having an evaporation rate equal to or less than about 0.5. The process and coating composition of the present invention produce fiber reinforced plastic articles having smooth, adherent surface coatings.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a filling device for introducing pre-foamed, post-expandable thermoplastics into molds for the production of moldings from plastic foams, especially from pre-foamed polystyrene foam, for example Styropor or Styrocell, in which the pre-foamed plastic is introduced in granular form into the mold by reason of a pressure difference existing between the stock container for the plastic granules and the mold and/or introduction of injected air. The filling device essentially consists of a cylindrical piston case with a lateral feed pipe for the plastic granules and a piston which is movable in the longitudinal direction within the cylindrical piston, for closing the mold inlet orifice after filling has taken place. The filling device according to the invention is characterized by a movable shut-off sleeve, which, by means of a spring, blocks the supply of granules when the piston has passed the feed pipe in the direction towards the mold.
