Abstract: There is disclosed a method for permanently and decoratively enhancing a polyethylene surface of a preformed article. In this method, a decorative enhancement composition is created by blending particulate thermoplastic powder, a binder solid, and a colorant into a liquid carrier. The particulate thermoplastic powder bonds to the colorant, the binder solid promotes adhesion of the colored thermoplastic to the polyethylene surface until it can be bonded, and the liquid carrier facilitates the transfer of the colored thermoplastic to the polyethylene surface of the preformed article. The decorative enhancement composition is applied to the polyethylene surface. The deposited decorative enhancement composition and the interfacing polyethylene surface are heated sufficiently to incorporate the decorative enhancement composition into the polyethylene surface. The enhanced polyethylene surface is allowed to cure by removal of the application of heat. Upon curing, the decorative enhancement composition is permanently incorporated into the polyethylene surface enhancing the physical properties and the appearance of the preformed article.This invention also comprises a decorative enhancement composition for the permanent decorative enhancement of polyethylene surfaces of preformed articles consisting essentially of a dry weight ratio of 30 to 70 percent binder solid to 70 to 30 percent particulate thermoplastic powder combined with colorant, wherein colorant comprises 9 to 50 percent of the total dry weight of the binder, powder, and pigment, mixed with liquid carrier, wherein the liquid carrier comprises 20 to 90 weight percent of the overall decorative enhancement composition.

Abstract: The water treatment apparatus utilizes membrane separation technology to separate clean product water from a contaminated water source. An improved valve (62, 64, 514) comprising a hollow cylindrical member (66, 84, 560), a valve member (68, 92, 566) slidably arranged within the hollow cylindrical member (66, 84, 560), and an interior channel (74, 86, 564) extending along at least a portion of the cylindrical member is provided. The improved valve (68, 64, 514) is arranged to provide a number of positions including a closed position, flush positions and processing positions. These positions are arranged by axial movement of a valve member (68, 92, 566) along the cylindrical bore (74, 86, 564) of the valve body (66, 84, 560). A high pressure seal (310) is provided for use with submersible electric pumps (270) employed in the water treatment apparatus. The high pressure seal (310) provides a means for closing an opening (314) in a wall (316) of a housing containing high pressure water and for sealing around wires (318) extending through the opening (314). This seal (310) may also be used with any other electrical device used under similar conditions. A tank (510) for use with smaller water treatment apparatus is also provided. This tank (510) is basically cylindrical with two part cylindrical recesses (532, 533) parallel to the axis of the tank (510) and lying along one side of the tank. Each recess (532, 533) receives a respective one of the cylindrical pump body (513) and the cylindrical reactor body (515). The pump (513) and reactor (515) are therefore efficiently stored within the cylindrical surface of the main tank (510).
