Resin composition suitable for high-solids solvent-based coating composition comprises chain-extendable, crosslinkable polyol of molecular weight from about 200 to 1000, having at least three hydroxyl groups, chain-extendable diblocked diisocyanate diurethane oligomer of molecular weight between about 300 to 1500, crosslinking agent reactive with the hydroxy functionality of the polyol and substantially unreactive with de-blocked isocyanate functionality of the diblocked diisocyanate diurethane oligomer, and, preferably, catalyst(s). The composition cures at elevated temperature to provide a coating on a substrate, such as steel, which coating is highly resistant to corrosion, humidity and solvents and provides corrosion protection for the substrate. The diblocked diisocyanate diurethane oligomer is preferably the reaction product of a diol with a half-blocked diisocyanate, wherein the half-blocked diisocyanate is preferably the reaction product of an organic diisocyanate with monofunctional blocking agent. The polyol is preferably the reaction product of a diol of molecular weight about 60 to 500 with a diepoxide of molecular weight about 100 to 1000 such as bisphenol.

A method of dispensing the material that is heated by microwave energy immediately before the material is dispensed. The method comprises a series of steps including conveying the material through a pressurized passage through a dispensing tube that has radial boundaries transparent to microwave energy. The dispensing tube is located within a microwave resonant chamber. The microwave energy is channeled from a microwave generating source along a waveguide to the microwave resonant chamber. Material within the passage is heated by the microwave energy and produces a TM. sub. 020 heating profile with negligible heating at the radial boundaries of the dispensing tube. The material is dispensed onto a component along a path. The dispensing step requires a measure of time to define a dispensing cycle. The output of the microwave generating source is varied.

A radiation polymerizable protective coating composition or paint, coated articles bearing such a protective coating and processes for preparing such articles. The radiation polymerizable paint, on a non-polymerizable solvent, pigment, initiator and particulate filler-free basis consists essentially of a binder solution of: (1) an alpha-beta olefinically unsaturated organic resin containing between about. 5 and about 5 units of olefinic unsaturation per 1,000 units of molecular weight; (2) a compound polymerizable with said resin upon exposure to ionizing radiation; and (3) between about 1. 0 and about 15. 0 parts per 100 parts of the total of said alpha-beta olefinically unsaturated resin and said compound polymerizable therewith of a triester of phosphoric acid bearing one or more sites of vinyl unsaturation. The composition exhibits excellent quality and good adhesion to a variety of substrates, in particular metals, including vapor deposited metals. Preferred articles bearing such a coating are prepared by: applying a base coat to a substrate and curing the same; vapor depositing a coating of a metal over the surface of the base coat; and applying to and curing on the surface of the deposited metal the radiation polymerizable topcoat, preferably with little or no pigment contained therein.

A method and apparatus for bonding a non-conductive member to a conductive member by applying adhesive between mating surfaces of the non-conducting and conducting member and placing an electrode adjacent the non-conductive member overlying the mating surface. An RF generator applies an electric field between the non-conducting and conducting members to cure the adhesive by dielectric heating.
