Abstract: A process for producing a flocked fabric laminate by coating an auxiliary substrate with a temporary adhesive binder, flocking the coated auxiliary substrate with flock fibers, coating the flock fibers with a curable flock adhesive binder, marrying a substrate backing layer to the binder coated flock, permanently setting the flock adhesive binder, and then removing the auxiliary substrate from the fabric laminate whereby the flock remains secured to the substrate backing layer is disclosed. Flocked fabric laminates obtained by such method are also described.

Abstract: A process for producing a laminate by coating a continuous first layer of a film forming material onto a release sheet, distributing flock fibers uniformly onto the first layer, drying the first layer to form a film and secure the flock fibers thereto in a substantially upstanding position, coating the tips of the flock fibers with a flock adhesive, marrying the flocked film to a substrate backing layer such that the coated tips contact the said substrate layer, permanently setting the flock adhesive, and then removing the release sheet. Laminates obtained by such method are also described.

Abstract: A method of transfer printing, wherein a release layer is formed on a temporary support; printing a pattern on said release layer with an ink containing coloring matter therein to obtain a transfer sheet; superposing an article to be transfer-printed on the printed surface of said transfer sheet; heating the superposed aggregate under pressure to transfer the release layer with the pattern onto said article to be transfer-printed; fixing the coloring matter to said article, and then soaping said article to remove the release layer, characterized in that the release layer consists of (1) 10-90 wt. percent of one or more thermoplastic polymers having excellent film-forming properties and water-solubility or alkaline water solubility as well as organic solvent solubility and (2) 90 to 10 wt. percent of one or more plasticizers having a melting point between 30.degree. and 120.degree.

Abstract: A coating of a perfluoropolyether compound is applied to surfaces for inhibiting the deposition of a source material by evaporating or sputtering within a vacuum, and for the deposition of such material onto irregular surfaces, voids, or holes of an object. The coating can be applied by evaporating and then condensing the compound within a vacuum, or it can be applied as a fluid or thixotropic paste through direct contact by means such as a printing process. The coating can further be applied by spraying, or by spinning the surfaces about an axis with the fluid forming a thin coating through the action of centrifugal force. Selected portions of the coating can be removed so that the material is deposited in predetermined patterns. One method of removal is by dissolving the compound in a solvent. The coating can also be removed by selective evaporation in which a laser beam or an electron beam is directed across the surface.

Abstract: An improved method of making films, sheets or plates of a transparent plastics material of high optical quality comprises depositing a solution, molten mass or reaction mixture which yields the solid plastics on drying or hardening on a moving glass ribbon having a smooth upper surfce. The ribbon may be made by the float glass process. The plurality of plastics layer may be deposited one on another.

Abstract: A waxing and protective coating composition embodying the invention comprises a mixture of wax residue such as paraffin and microcrystalline wax, chlorinated solvent, petroleum distillate, and a nonionic surfactant such as nonylphenoxypoly-(ethyleneoxy)ethanol and a small amount of [N,N,N',N'-tetrakis (2-hydroxypropyl)ethylenediamine].

Abstract: A masking process for masking a defined area on the surface of a substrate which is to be coated with a combustible coating material which comprises using as the masking means, a combustible masking material having a heating element enveloped therein along the edges thereof, coating the masked substrate with the coating material, decomposing the coating material and the masking material at the edges of the latter with the heating element, and then removing the remaining coated masking material and the heating element.
