An electromagnetic shielding panel (1, 2, 3, 4, P5) incorporates at least two electroconductive coatings (10 and 6, 7,8). In two of the panels (1,2) the coatings are carried on separate sheets of float glass (5,9), one of the coatings 10 being an anti-abrasive coating is on the outermost surface of the glass (9) in the panel arrangement, while the other coating (6,7,8) being a relatively soft abra...

A process for making a multilayer coating by applying a clear coat varnish exclusively comprising coating compositions which can be cured by means of free-radical and/or cationic polymerisation to a dried or crosslinked, colour-providing and/or effect-providing base coat, under illumination with light having a wavelength of greater than 550 nm or in the absence of light, and subsequently initiatin...

A process for making multilayer coatings, especially for motor vehicle painting, in which at least three directly adjacent layers are applied having alternating polarity with respect to the resins used. The polarity of the coating media used can, for example, be achieved by the use of resins having ionic groups.

Novel dispersant compositions for lubricating oil are described. They exhibit little fluoroelastomer antagonism and are effective in controlling sludge, varnish and wear. The dispersants comprise two components. One is formed by reacting aminoguanidine with a long chain succinic acylating agent. The product may be borated if desired. The other component is formed by reacting (i) a succinic acylati...
