Abstract: A composition which incorporates a metallic salt of fluoric acid is used as an additive for washing. When used in the “wash cycle”, the metallic salt of fluoric acid increases the cleaning affect of the detergent and also increases the “fluff” of the clothes. Application of the fluoric acid is through a variety of mechanisms including: direct deposit of a quantity of liquid dilute containing the fluoric acid; application of an absorbent material containing the fluoric acid within the wash; and, inclusion of the fluoric acid within the detergent.

Abstract: A keratin composition which incorporates a metallic salt of fluoric acid increases the permeability of the user's skin allowing greater affect by the active agent. The affect of the salt of hydrofluoric acid is increased through the use of either water or alcohol mixed therewith. The composition so formed is useful for pharmaceutical treatments, topical cleansers, soaps, creams, and as additives to a variety of cosmetics.

Abstract: A treatment mechanism for keratin, including hair and epidermis, in which a chemical is applied in a substantially dry state. The chemical is adapted to release sulfur from said keratin, thereby softening it. The keratin is then rinsed with water, preparing the keratin to be exfoliated from the skin or, in the case of hair, cut or shaved. The preferred chemical is a salt of fluoric acid being either tin or sodium based.

Abstract: Method of producing a three-dimensional pattern on a resin article which comprises producing a two-dimensional pattern on a flexible sheet or web of a heat-foamable plastic material, applying heat to cause said plastic material to expand, thus forming a three-dimensional pattern, applying a release coating to the three dimensional surface of said flexible sheet or web, contacting said three-dimensional surface with a resin plastisol, curing said resin plastisol in contact with said surface to form a solid resin object and removing said flexible sheet or web from said cured resin object to expose the three-dimensional pattern thereon.

Abstract: A sheet of organic material having a creped or ridged formation is first coated with a film of silicone resin and then overcoated with a layer of a flexible organic resin. Both coatings conform to the ridged surface. The sheet is positioned inside a mold cover. When a plastic mixture is foamed, the top surface of the molded object contacts the flexible organic material on the surface of the sheet and adheres thereto. When the cover is removed, and the sheet peeled off, the molded article has its top surface decorated with the flexible organic sheet material.
