The present invention relates to a finely-powdered, storage-stable powder-like product containing alkali silicate and a production method thereof. Said alkali silicate is used, inter alia, as an ingredient reinforcing cement, mortar or paint and to provide waterproofing. According to the present invention, for a solid, glassy alkali silicate mass a mechanical grinding is performed for changing the...

The invention relates to a belt grinder of which the supporting tables (13, 14) are arranged in relation to the grinding unit (11) and hence the grinding belt (12) in such a way that tables need not be adjusted at the same time as the grinding unit is pivoted, while nevertheless the gap (z) between the grinding unit and the edges of the tables remains minimal. Such an arrangement is obtained if th...

A method of producing a multi-layer coating comprising the application of a color- and/or effect-imparting base lacquer coat of an aqueous base lacquer, the wet-into-wet-application on to the aqueous base lacquer coat of a clear lacquer coat of a two-component polyurethane clear lacquer, which is produced shortly before the application thereof by mixing a master lacquer component, which contains h...

This invention relates to a method for forming a coating film which comprises applying an epoxy resin powder coating (A) onto a substrate by electrostatic coating, half-baking the resultant uncured coat, applying a polyester resin powder coating (B) onto the half-baked coat by electrostatic coating, and baking the two uncured coats simultaneously, wherein the epoxy resin powder coating (A) and the...

A film of a coating material is produced on a substrate by a pulsed laser deposition method in which the material that forms the coating material is first combined with a matrix material to form a target. The target is then exposed to a source of laser energy to desorb the matrix material from the target and lift the coating material from the surface of the target. The target and the substrate are...

Platinum film orientation-controlled to (111), (200) and/or (220) are provided by depositing the platinum film under an atmosphere containing nitrogen as well as an inert gas (Ar, Ne, Kr, Xe) on a substrate heated to temperature ranged from room temperature to 500 DEG C., and then annealing to substantially remove nitrogen introduced into the platinum film during the deposition thereof. The plati...
