Patent number: 8298307Abstract: An abrasive that can impart a mirror finish, glossiness, or the like to a surface of a workpiece by blasting is provided. A crosslinked polyrotaxane compound having a network structure where crosslinking points are circular molecules of polyrotaxane and also having abrasive grains dispersedly mixed therein is obtained by causing chemical bonding between the circular molecules of the polyrotaxane in a state where the abrasive grains and the polyrotaxane are mixed. Then, the crosslinked polyrotaxane compound is granulated to a predetermined grain diameter to obtain a gel-like abrasive where a part of the dispersedly mixed abrasive grain is exposed at the surface. By using the thus-obtained gel-like abrasive in blasting by projecting the abrasive at an angle tilted with respect to a surface of a workpiece, mirror finishing or the like is possible without making the surface of the workpiece pearskin-like.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2009Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: Fuji Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Keiji Mase, Shozo Ishibashi, Hirofumi Nakayama, Changming Zhao, Christian Ruslim

Patent number: 8298441Abstract: Stable, phosphorescent, water-based coating compositions include a latex emulsion, at least one metal aluminate pigment as a source of phosphorescence, and an effective buffering amount of a buffering agent, which may be an organic acid. The ratio of metal aluminum phosphorescent pigment to latex binder in the latex emulsion may be in the range of about 0.5:1 to about 2.0:1. The effective amount of buffering agent may be from about 0.1% to about 10% with respect to emulsion weight. Compositions according to the present invention may have useful shelf lives of six months or longer. Methods of using the phosphorescent latex coatings and coated substrates are also taught.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2008Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: The Sherwin-Williams CompanyInventors: Owen P. Kasson, Robert A. Martuch, Celestine O. Ilori, Glenn A. Miller, Daniel M. Gerow

Publication number: 20120244365Abstract: The present disclosure provides a flexible, halogen-free, flame retardant composition. The composition includes from about 25 wt % to about 95 wt % of a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU); from about 5 wt % to about 50 wt % of an olefin block copolymer (OBC); and from about 30 wt % to about 70 wt % of a flame retardant. The flame retardant is selected from resorcinol bis(diphenyl 5 phosphate) (RDP), bis diphenyl phosphate (BDP), bisphenol-A bis(diphenyl phosphate) (BPADP), aluminum trihydrate (ATH), a nitrogen/phosphorus-based halogen-free flame retardant, epoxidized novolac resin, and combinations thereof. The composition requires no compatibilizer for the TPU and OBC. The composition finds application in wire and cable structures.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2009Publication date: September 27, 2012Inventors: Given Jing Chen, Wilson Xiao Wei Yan, Bin Li, Lan Lu, Weiming Wayne Ma, Lotus Hua Huang, David Hong Fei Guo
