Abstract: In a process for printing a substrate employing apparatus elements such as printing plates, engraved rolls, wiping blades, transfer rolls, metering rolls, or the like, and printing ink which comes into contact with the elements and substrate, the improvement comprising carrying out the printing with an ink comprising an aqueous system of colorant and water dispersible polymer having carbonyloxy linking groups in the linear molecular structure wherein up to 80% of the linking groups may be carbonylamido linking groups, the polymer having an inherent viscosity of at least about 0.1 measured in a 60/40 parts by weight solution of phenol/tetrachloroethane at 25.degree. C. and at a concentration of about 0.25 gram of polymer in 100 ml. of the solvent, allowing the ink to substantially dry, and subsequently contacting the dried ink with a solution of one or more multivalent cation salts to impart thereto a high degree of resistance to water dispersibility.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions comprising an aqueous dispersion of a finely divided organic substance and a sequestering agent. The sequestering agent is a linear, water-dissipatable polymer having an inherent viscosity of at least about 0.1 and comprising the reaction products of the following components or ester forming or esteramide forming derivatives thereof;(a) at least one dicarboxylic acid;(b) at least one difunctional sulfomonomer containing at least one metal sulfonate group attached to an aromatic nucleus wherein the functional groups are hydroxy, carboxyl or amino; and(c) a glycol or a mixture of a glycol and diamine having two --NRH groups, the glycol containing two --CH.sub.2 --OH groups of which from at least 0.1 mole percent based on the total mole percent of hydroxy or hydroxy and amino equivalents, is a poly(ethylene glycol) having the structural formula:H--(--OCH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --)--.sub.

Abstract: coating compositions comprising polyalkyleneimine and cellulose acetate propionate in solution, and related process and product, are disclosed. Such compositions are particularly useful as primer coatings for substrates of regenerated cellulose, paper and paperboard where cellulose ester top coatings are used. Use of such compositions as primer coatings improves adhesion of the top coating to the substrate, particularly where the coated substrate is heat-sealed, for example, in packaging applications. Also, the coating composition provides increased resistance to blocking, which is especially important where the substrate is sheet material wound in a roll.

Abstract: coating compositions useful as a dielectric layer for electrostatic recording sheet material are disclosed. The compositions comprise cellulose acetate butyrate having a butyryl content of from about 47 to about 55%, an acetyl content of from about 0.5 to about 15%, a hydroxyl content of from 0 to about 1.0% and a viscosity of from about 0.2 to about 20 seconds. Preferably, the composition includes an ester prepared from gum, wood and/or tall oil rosin at an amount of up to about 70% based on the combined weight of the cellulose ester and rosin ester.

Abstract: coating compositions are disclosed which provide improved resistance to the transmission of vapor through various substrates, especially paper, paperboard and regenerated cellulose. The compositions comprise one or more cellulose esters, and a small amount of a blend of paraffin and an amide of a long chain saturated or unsaturated fatty acid. The composition is in a conventional solvent and preferably includes conventional plasticizers. Conventional additives such as pigments, stabilizers, etc., may be used.
