Abstract: Flexible polyurethane, polyacrylic and polybutadiene foams can be obtained with cyclopentane as a blowing agent and are useful as coatings for leather or leather substitutes.

Abstract: Aqueous spray-resistant and pourable foams (S), produced by mechanical foaming of corresponding aqueous compositions (W), wherein the aqueous phase contains (A) a curable polymer system, which consists of (U) an ionomeric polyurethane or a mixture of ionomeric polyurethanes and optionally (P) one or more further polymers curable at least together with (U), and (B) at least one foam-stabilizer and the liter-weight of (S) at 20° C. and normal pressure is in the range of 400 to 700 g, are eminently suitable for foam-coating of corresponding substrates, in particular of leather.

Abstract: A preparation for applying an anti-slip layer to a surface which includes a coating composition containing particulate material and a curing agent, wherein the particulate material consists of synthetic granules. The invention also relates to a method for preparing the preparation and to a method for applying an anti-slip layer using the preparation, a product which is provided with an anti-slip layer and the use of a preparation comprising synthetic granules for applying an anti-slip layer to a surface.

Abstract: A lacquer composition comprising a water soluble reaction product of(a) a water soluble acrylic polymer or copolymer having pendant amine groups, and(b) a glycidyl ether of a di- or polyhydric alcohol or monomeric phenolic compound having 2-4 aromatic hydroxy groupswith the proviso that per amine equivalent of component (a) 0.5-0.85 epoxide equivalents of component (b) are present, the reaction product being hardened by a mixture of component (b) above and a glycidyl ether of a polymeric phenol-aldehyde condensate or of polyamine derived from ethyleneimine and/or propyleneimine.The composition is useful for coating such substrates as leather.

Abstract: A coating of the cutter parts of an electric dry shaver with a solid lubricant is accomplished by positioning a meshed member over the surface of the cutter parts and then penetrating the meshed member with a solid lubricant preparation. The meshed member is then pulled from the coated cutter parts.
