Patent number: 9861956Abstract: Provided by the present invention is a photocatalytic coating composition which can express excellent visibility during application work and further can, owing to its excellent physical properties, form a homogeneous photocatalyst coated film having uniform thickness on a surface of a substrate. The photocatalytic coating composition which is basic and comprises photocatalyst particles, a basic dye, a layered silicate, and a dispersion medium. The basic dye enhances visibility of the part where the photocatalytic coating composition is applied so that the applied part can be easily distinguished from the unapplied part by the difference in appearance.

The colored fibers must have a staple length of from 0.1 to 6 mm, a denier of from 0.1 to 25 dtex, and a coloring agent that does not migrate or dissolve in the polyurethane-forming materials. These fibers are generally used in a quantity such that they represent from 0.1 to 10 wt. % of the polyurethane-forming reaction mixture. Shoe soles, shoe heels, multiple layer soles and padded components are examples of moldings which may be produced in accordance with the present invention.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 1983Date of Patent: June 26, 1984Assignee: Bayer AktiengesellschaftInventors: Lothar Hille, Heimo Ludke, Nikolaus Hansjosten
