20100300327 | PARTICULATE DRY TINTER - A particulate dry tinter for use in tinting a coating composition including at least two coloured pigments, in which the particulate tinter has a colour hue predictive of the colour hue of the tinted coating composition and the coating when applied (FIG. | 12-02-2010 |
20100119785 | FILM FORMATION AND EVALUATION - Methods and apparatus for forming films from liquid samples for evaluation are disclosed. The liquid samples are dispensed into a channel formed by a die and a substrate on which the films are generated whilst moving the die and the substrate relatively to one another. Once formed, the liquid films may then be further processed, for example by curing or polymerization, to generate solid films for subsequent evaluation. | 05-13-2010 |

20090211354 | Materials Testing - Methods of and apparatus for testing a material are described. The testing involves providing a material across a region of a support member which is arranged to define an opening which is closed by a plug means having a surface in contact with the material that is substantially coplanar with the region. The material is adhered to the region of the support member. A force applying means is moved relative to the material to apply a force to said material through the intermediary of the plug means, which does not substantially deform under the application of the force. | 08-27-2009 |
20090197992 | COATING COMPOSITION - A coating composition comprising a first part, and a second part, in which the first part includes gypsum and/or cement dispersed in a water miscible organic solvent, and the second part includes a water soluble polymer, the first and second parts being mixable so as to form a hardened coating composition. | 08-06-2009 |
20090170979 | Modified binder polymer for coating compositions - A film-forming binder polymer for a coating composition such as a paint, varnish or woodstain where the polymer is modified by the presence of bonded moieties derived from plant gum, particularly plant fibre gum obtainable from plant fibre, especially corn fibre gum and more particularly moieties derived from proteo-xylans and/or furanose. The modified binder polymer minimises the need to use coalescing solvents without producing poor dried paint coatings which fail the scrub resistance tests also improves the opacity of the dried coating composition. | 07-02-2009 |
20090163630 | SOLID FILLER COMPOSITIONS - A solid filler composition suitable for applying directly to a substrate comprising

20090126826 | METHOD OF PRODUCING A COATING COMPOSITION - A method of producing a coating composition in an in-store tinting machine comprising the steps of selecting a base paint, adding at least one additive to the base paint, adding at least one colourant to the base paint, the at least one colourant being selected from a range of colourants in the in-store tinting machine, mixing the base paint, the at least one colourant, and the at least one additive so as to produce a coating composition, in which the additive is not a base paint or a colourant from the range of colourants in the in-store tinting machine. | 05-21-2009 |
20090068383 | Thermal Transfer Printing - A retransfer intermediate sheet for receiving an image to be printed onto an article by thermal retrasfer comprises a substrate which is preferably heat-deformable; and an image-receiving coating on one side of the substrate, comprising an image-receiving layer for receiving an image by printing, preferably inkjet printing, of dye-containing ink, the image-receiving layer comprising amorphous porous silica, a first, non-dye absorbing polymeric binder and a second, flexible polymeric binder. The sheet is particularly useful for printing on three dimensional articles, e.g. being heated and vacuum formed to conform to an article. The invention also coven a method of printing and an article bearing a printed image. | 03-12-2009 |
20090054281 | Lubricating Composition Comprising a Polyester Dispersant - An automotive lubricant composition comprising a base fluid and an ashless polymeric dispersant is claimed. The ashless polymeric dispersant has a number average molecular weight of between 500 and 10,000 and comprises a polar tall group which itself comprises a polymeric backbone of 2 to 30 monomeric repeat units, each repeat unit comprising a hydrocarbon chain functionalised by the presence of at least one electronegative element or moiety, the tail group being linked to a polar head group which comprises a polar moiety selected from at least one of acid, ester, amide or alcohol moieties. The dispersant has good dispersancy properties, when used as a sole dispersant or in combination with other dispersants. It provides enhanced seal resistance and has good oxidative stability in automotive applications as compared to current commercial products. Furthermore the low temperature viscosity of the automotive lubricant composition with the designed dispersant is superior to that of a composition with current commercial dispersants and the designed dispersant does not react with ZDDP and reduce the antiwear capabilities of ZDDP. | 02-26-2009 |
20090049806 | Mandrel for disposing a stretchable wrapper around an object - A mandrel ( | 02-26-2009 |
20090014691 | Dispersions, films, coatings and compositions - A method of providing location dependent content to an end station using a base station. The base station receives from an end station and via a communications network, a content request, and an identifier indicative of an identity of the end station. The base station then authenticates the user or the end station using the identifier. In response to a successful authentication, the base station determines the location of the end station and determines content using the location or the content request, which is then transferred to the end station. | 01-15-2009 |
20090012185 | Surfactant Composition - A surfactant composition contains at least one sorbitan ester and at least one sorbitol ester wherein the mean number of carbon atoms of the hydrophobe of the sorbitan ester is greater than that of the sorbitol ester. The surfactant composition is particularly suitable for use in stabilising emulsions, especially personal care or cosmetic products. | 01-08-2009 |
20080234451 | Olefin Metathesis Polymerisation - A ring-opening metathesis polymerisation (ROMP) reaction is disclosed in which a cyclic alkene compound is subjected to ROMP using a transition metal ROMP catalyst which has an alkyl moiety which is connected to the metal centre thereof through a double bond. The process includes the step of adding sufficient of an acyclic alkene having a carbon-carbon double bond capable of reacting with the catalytic metal moieties attached to the living end of each of the polymer chains generated in the ROMP reaction to end cap the polymer chains and to generate a stable olefin metathesis catalyst. | 09-25-2008 |

The metal oxide particles are preferably incorporated into the emulsion in the form of an aqueous dispersion. The emulsion exhibits good skin feel, effective UV protection, stability and improved transparency. | 09-18-2008 |
20080221002 | Dispersant - A novel ashless polymeric dispersant is claimed which is suitable for use in an automotive lubricant composition. The ashless polymeric dispersant has a number average molecular weight of between 200 and 15,000 and derived from the reaction of a polar head group, which comprises a polar moiety having more than one amine, alcohol, acid or halogen functionality with two or more polar tail groups where each polar tail group comprises a polymeric backbone of 2 to 30 monomeric repeat units, each repeat unit comprising a hydrocarbon chain functionalised by the presence of at least one electronegative element or moiety. The dispersant has good dispersancy properties, when used as a sole dispersant or in combination with other dispersants. It provides enhanced seal resistance and has good oxidative stability in automotive applications as compared to current commercial products. Furthermore the low temperature viscosity of an automotive lubricant composition containing the dispersant is superior to that of a composition with current commercial dispersants. | 09-11-2008 |
