A coating for pelletized thermoplastic road marking material is provided in which at least one of waxes, silica compounds, and inorganic compounds is provided on the surface of the thermoplastic pellet. The pellet is formed by mixing a binder mixture with a filler mixture, heating the mixed ingredients while mixing into a homogenous molten mixture and then extruding the molten mixture. The extruded material is cooled, cut into individual pellets and then coated. The coating prevents clumping of the pellets and also imparts improved flowability and lower melting point properties. Preferred coatings include micronized polyethylene wax, silicates, silanes, silicones, siliconates, fluoropoymers, calcium carbonate and zeolite.

Coatings for pelletized thermoplastic pavement marking compositions

A method or applying a fast curing epoxy traffic marking composition is provided in which curing agents are coated on a carrier such as glass beads or porous silica. These carriers are dropped onto the epoxy coating and promote rapid curing of the top layer of the epoxy coating while the bottom layer is given additional time to adhere to the roadway surface.

Method for marking a transportation corridor

A system for dispensing a fast curing epoxy traffic marking composition to a transportation corridor includes a plurality of bins positioned on a transportation corridor marking dispensing apparatus. A first bin contains an epoxy coating which is applied by the dispensing apparatus on a transportation corridor. A second bin contains at least one curing agent which is coated on a carrier such as glass beads or porous silica. These carriers are dropped onto the epoxy coating by the dispensing apparatus and promote rapid curing of the top layer of the epoxy coating while the bottom layer is given additional time to adhere to the roadway surface. This enables the application contractor to open a marked roadway in a quicker manner with less motorist disruption. An optional third bin contains retroreflective beads which are applied to the epoxy coating by the dispenser apparatus to improve visibility of the line marking.

A highway marking paint formed from a waterborne latex paint and porous silica having a pore volume in the range of 0.3 cc/g to 3.0 cc/g. The silica enables the paint to achieve sufficient viscosity to permit the application of a highway marking of at least 40 mil and preferably at least 120 mil. The highway marking paint can also include retroreflective glass beads. Optionally, the highway marking paint further includes an acrylic polymer emulsion. The porous silica can be mixed with an ion exchange resin to control the drying properties of the paint.

A room temperature crosslinkable polymer system comprising an anhydride containing polymer and an oxyalkylene amine and a polymer electrolyte derived therefrom are prepared and employed as ion conducting materials for batteries such as lithium ion battery, solar cells and electrochromic devices is disclosed.

Room temperature crosslinkable ion conductive polymer system

A multi color, photoactive, color changing plastic, coating or ink, composition comprising both a photochromic material and a photosensitive chromogenic system is provided which will undergo a sequence of color changes upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Also provided is an ultraviolet indicator or dosimeter comprising the color changing composition.

Multi color, photoactive, color changing compositions and UV dosimeters

Novel fluorescent polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) colorants are provided. The colorants are strongly fluorescing and long lasting with excellent light stability. The novel colorants can be prepared from chromophores found in common pigments and provide a simple way to convert an insoluble pigment into a soluble fluorescent colorant.

A color photographic material is described containing a compound of formula (I) wherein, if n=1, Ris, inter alia, a radical of formula (II), and, if n=2, Ris unsubstituted or C&#x2013;Calkyl- or hydroxy-substituted phenylene or naphthylene; or &#x2014;R&#x2014;X&#x2014;R&#x2014;, and other residues are as defined in claim 1. The compound of formula (I) is effective as scavenger of the oxidized form of the developer (Dox scavenger), especially when contained in an interlayer between light sensitive layers. Selected compounds of this class can also be used as additives, for example as dye stabilizer, in color photographic materials, or as an antioxidant for organic materials. 

Color photographic material

The present invention relates to a process for the synthesis of beta-quinacridone by oxidation in the presence of selected additives that promote the formation of the desired crystal phase and particle size.
