Abstract: A dye-based, multilayer time-indicating label without initial gray time comprises a multilayer first part and a multilayer second part. The first part comprises a topsheet in contact with an enhancement layer and an optional reference layer, and the enhancement layer is in contact with a timing layer. The second part comprises a dye layer, an optional dark layer, and a substrate layer. The timing layer and the dye layer are separate from one another, and are optionally protected by one or more release liners. To activate the indicator, the timing and dye layers are separated from the one or more release liners and then joined to one another.

Abstract: A coating composition for a woven fabric comprising, in weight percent (wt %) based on the dry weight of the composition: (A) 45 to 94 wt % of at least one of a polyester or acrylic resin; (B) 3 to 15 wt % uncoated amorphous silica; and (C) 3 to 40 wt % of an inorganic powder with a mean particle size of less than or equal to (?) 15 microns (?m) and an oil absorption value greater than or equal (?) 15 milliliters per 100 grams (mL/100 g) of powder. The coated fabric is suitable for printing with a laser printer and for wearing as an identification label, e.g., as a wrist or ankle band.

Abstract: A tack-free, tamper-evident label comprising: (A) A transparent, polymeric facesheet; (B) A release ink in partial contact with the facesheet; (C) A primecoat ink in partial contact with both the release ink and the facesheet; (D) A polymeric film in contact with the primecoat ink; (E) An adhesive in contact with the polymeric film; and (F) An optional release liner in contact with the adhesive.

Abstract: A multilayer time indicator comprises: A. A topsheet, B. An activating layer, C. A timing layer, D. A dye layer, and E. A substrate. In one embodiment the topsheet and activating layer comprise a first or activation section of the indicator while the timing layer, dye layer and substrate comprise a second or base section of the indicator. In one embodiment the activating layer of the first section and the timing layer of the second section are each protected with a release sheet. In one embodiment, the first and second sections of the indicator comprise a kit which can be converted into an active time indicator by removal of the release sheets and joining of the activating layer to the timing layer. In one embodiment the first and second section are joined to one another by a common release sheet or liner which maintains the indicator in an inactive state until the release sheet is removed and the activating layer is joined to the timing layer.

Abstract: By blending a brazing alloy, preferably a Cu, P, Sn, and Ni alloy, with a binder system (and in some cases other blended alloys), the invention includes several superior brazing binder systems. The brazing binder system is formed suitable for all the joint configurations commonly found in heat transfer equipment. The inventive binder system product includes an ultra low VOC coating, low VOC coating, and VOC exempt brazing binder system. The binder system may be sprayed on, brushed on, or applied using standard paste dispensing equipment.

Abstract: A time indicating label for attachment to a tube, the label comprising: (A) An impermeable facesheet optionally adapted to accepting a graphic before or after attachment of the label to a tube, (B) An activation layer comprising a polymer matrix and an activating agent, the activation layer in contact with the facesheet, (C) A release liner impermeable to the activating agent and in contact with the activation layer, (D) A timing layer comprising a film-forming polymer and a pigment, the timing layer in contact with the release liner, (E) A dye layer comprising a film-forming polymer and an organic solvent soluble dye and in contact with the timing layer, and (F) A base layer comprising a material impermeable to the activating agent and dye and in contact with both the dye layer and the activation layer.
