Abstract: A container opening device facilitates opening of various types of containers including conventional five gallon buckets, various sizes of paint cans, and the like. the device includes a head coupled to a first end of a handle. The head has a pair of spaced flanges. Each of the flanges is coupled to and extending from a base of the head extending between the flanges. Each of the flanges has a planar distal portion positioned in spaced relationship to the base defining a gap therebetween for engaging and prying edges of a cover on a bucket. A first sidewall extends from the handle adjacent to a second end of the handle. The first sidewall has a thickness for insertion into a space between a lid and a top edge of a can to pry the lid away from the can.

Abstract: A composition of matter contains as a principal component a material which acts as an ultraviolet light stabilizer. The ultraviolet light stabilizer is formed from the reaction of (a) a methylol or alkoxy alkyl-containing material, and (b) an alkyl substituted piperidine containing material which is represented by the following structural formula: ##STR1## R" is hydrogen or C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alkyl, R.sub.10 is hydrogen or methyl,Y is a radical derived from a material selected from the group consisting of amino substituted triazines, ureas, glycolurils, phenols, and amides of the formula ##STR2## R' is hydrogen or C.sub.1 to C.sub.12 alkyl and R is an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, or olefinic radical, or an acrylic polymer moiety having at least one group selected from hydroxyl, carboxyl, amido, and ureido, said reaction proceeding between a methylol or alkoxy alkyl group of (a) and the group selected from hydroxyl, carboxyl, amido and ureido of (b).

Abstract: Disclosed is an ungelled, curable, synthetic thermosetting resin, and a method of making the resin. The ungelled resin is a reaction product of components comprising: an aminoplast, a hydroxyl-containing carboxylic acid, an alkylenimine, and optionally a polyol. The disclosure is also directed to a coating composition comprising the ungelled, thermosetting resin.

Abstract: A low temperature curing composition prepared from an essentially silicon-free polymer and a silicon group-containing material is improved by utilizing a silicon group-containing material which is a hydrolyzable organosilicon group-containing polymer which is non-gelled and formed from an essentially silicon-free polymer having isocyanate or active hydrogen functional groups and an organosilicon group-containing material having functional groups reactive with the isocyanate and active hydrogen.

Abstract: Ungelled reaction products of a urethane resin having acrylyl groups with an amino silane are formed. The products are capable of curing at a low temperature to form durable coatings. Polyols can optionally be blended with the ungelled reaction products to provide useful coating compositions.

Abstract: Ungelled reaction products of a condensation product with an amino silane are formed. The products are capable of curing at a low temperature to form durable coatings. Polyols can optionally be blended with the ungelled reaction products to provide useful coating compositions.

Abstract: Coating compositions are formulated using a polyol with a hydroxyl functionality of at least three modified by reaction with a glycidyl ether in proportion of about 0.1 to about 4, preferably from about 0.2 to about 2 moles of glycidyl ether per mole of polyol, with which is combined, as curing agent, a compatible aminoplast resin. When the polyol is trimethylol ethane, for example, and is so modified with allyl or butyl glycidyl ether, for example, and is so modified with allyl or butyl glycidyl ether, for example, and the compositions contain a methylated melamine formaldehyde condensate as curing agent, they are especially suitable for clear top coating surfaces of wood or flat woodstock containing printing inks to simulate woodgrain, to provide a durable coating highly adherent to the inks as well as the cellulosic materials. The compositions may contain high solids content yet they are stable on storage without development of crystallization and are reducible or thinnable with water.
