When applied to a substrate, the coating composition appears as one color on face from the specular reflection of the colorants off the reflective pigments and a different color on flop from the fluorescent light produced by the colorants.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2003Date of Patent: March 4, 2008Assignee: PPG Industries Ohio, Inc.Inventors: Eldon L. Decker, Calum H. Munro, Robert E. Jennings

Patent number: 7282260Abstract: A coating composition having outstanding electrically conductive and electromagnetic radiation absorptive properties is disclosed with a water emulsion polymer binder. The binder is a blend of a first emulsion containing a conjugated diene as monomer or comonomer, and a second emulsion containing an acrylic, aliphatic or aromatic polyurethane, polyester urethane, polyester, epoxy, polyamide, polyimide, vinyl, fluoropolymer, or silicone polymer. An effective amount of electrically conductive and electromagnetic radiation absorptive particles is dispersed in the binder. The particles include a combination of graphite particles, carbon nanotubes and metal containing particles. An effective amount of water is also present.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2003Date of Patent: October 16, 2007Assignee: Unitech, LLCInventors: Wayne B. LeGrande, Robert C. Boyd

Patent number: 7270875Abstract: A gland packing characterized in that a water swelling mineral is stuck or impregnated into a surface or an inner part of a gland packing base material. The water swelling mineral is preferably water swelling mica. This gland packing substantially eliminates seizing and can exhibit an excellent sealing property even if the amount of leakage of an internal fluid or injected fluid for lubrication on a sliding surface is lessened as compared with a conventional example.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2003Date of Patent: September 18, 2007Assignee: Nippon Valqua Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Makoto Ishida, Kazumasa Takiteru
