Latest Patents

Lomasney’s listed patent, “Method for Controlling Wet Film Thickness of Clear Coatings by Means of Color-Dissipating Dye,” describes using a temporary dye to help control the uniformity of clear protective coatings. The dye briefly gives the otherwise clear coating a visible color, making it easier to assess film thickness during application. It then dissipates, generally within hours to a few days, leaving no visible evidence of its use.

One embodiment adds a compatibilizer carrier solution to make the dye easier to measure and incorporate into the clear coating. The method is intended to support more consistent application while preserving the coating’s clear appearance.
