Abstract: A coating composition is described comprising a 1:2 chromium complex of a mono-AZO dye substituted with amino-phenol and coupled with 2-napthol in a thermosetting resin system. The composition when applied to a substrate imparts a super jet black coating which is non-bleeding, unaffected by the dispersion method or vehicle used, and is durable to the elements.

Abstract: A transparent topcoat coating composition is described comprising a thermoplastic or thermosetting resin material containing low pigment to binder ratio of iron oxide encapsulated mica particles. When used in a multicoat coating process as a transparent topcoat, an article is produced which not only produces improved "metallic" color effects, but is stable to the elements as well.

Abstract: Diarylide yellow pigments are treated with linear alkyl poly-amines to obtain pigments that are easily dispersible in aromatic publication gravure inks and show less penetration into and higher gloss on uncoated paper stock.

Abstract: A continuous method for producing an aqueous dispersion of phthalocyanine blue pigment is disclosed. The method involves the following two steps:(A) mixing in water a phthalocyanine crude pigment at about 10 to 50% by weight with from about 12 to 30% by weight of surfactant and(B) continuously pumping the blend of (A) through at least two shot mills in series in which the shot grinding media range in size from 0.1 to 1.5 mm. diameter and grinding the blend until the particle size of the crude is reduced to where the dispersion has suitable pigment tinctorial strength for use in inks and coatings.The aqueous dispersion of blue pigment produced by this method is especially useful in inks and coatings.

Abstract: High-solids pigment concentrates are disclosed containing a novel dispersing agent formed by reacting a poly (lower alkylene) imine, having molecular weight of 1,000 to 15,000 with a polyester comprising the esterification product of hydroxystearic acid, or its oligomer, with tall oil rosin.

Abstract: Water-borne epoxy-phenolic container coating compositions comprising a blend of(1) a water-miscible amine solubilized epoxy resin and(2) a water soluble monomeric phenolic compound.The coatings are especially useful, when cured, as container coatings and exhibit superior resistance to high acid and high protein foods.

Abstract: A system for the manufacture of leatherlike materials, particularly for shoe uppers, which avoids pollution, toxicity and fire hazards and makes it possible for the shoe manufacturer to make his shoe upper materials as required with a minimum of investment in inventory of raw materials and with simple, relatively inexpensive equipment.

Abstract: Process for laminating. A macroapertured thermoplastic web is brought continuously into contact with the hot moving surface of a rotating roll. A fabric is pressed against the thermoplastic material on the roll and, within about five seconds, the fabric carrying the hot thermoplastic material is continuously peeled off the roll. The resulting fabric, carrying hot thermoplastic material, is then brought into contact with a preformed cellular layer.

Abstract: Water reducible coating compositions based on a thermoplastic polymer prepared by polymerizing one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers in the presence of a water soluble fully reacted polyurethane. The resulting polymer can be coated from solution as a clear film, heat cured, air dried or cross-linked. The coatings, when combined with pigments and metallics, are useful as automotive finishes.

Abstract: A coating composition based on a thermoplastic copolymer prepared by polymerizing one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers in the presence of a fully reacted polyurethane. The resulting copolymer can be coated as a clear film, air dried and has particular utility, when combined with pigments and metallics, in automotive finishes.

Abstract: Microporous polymeric material such as elastomeric polyurethane laminated to fibrous fabric by fusing projections integrally formed on such microporous material the projections being spaced or in an open pattern. The lamination may be effected by applying a flame to the projections or by otherwise supplying heat thereto to make them tacky and then pressing the fabric and tackified projection-carrying surface against each other to embed surface fibers of the fabric into the spaced tacky material.

Abstract: A method of printing on textile with pigmented aqueous inks using the flexographic printing process. The printing inks contain water soluble acrylic resin, water soluble thermosetting aminoplast, and elastomeric latex polymer as pigment binder. The inks have a viscosity of 3 to 15 poises at infinite shear.

Abstract: Improved limed resinates are disclosed. The calcium resinates comprise the reaction product of calcium hydroxide and rosins with a polyanhydride of an .alpha.-olefin-maleic anhydride. Printing inks containing the improved limed resinates are also disclosed.

Abstract: An improved contoured resilient vehicle trim panel and method of making same which is suitable for use as a decorative headliner adjacent to the interior undersurface of the roof panel of vehicles. The trim panel comprises a composite laminar sheet consisting of a pair of imperforate thermoplastic films disposed in spaced-apart relationship and tenaciously bonded in supported relationship to the face surfaces of an intervening coextensive thermoplastic foam core layer. The films and the closed cell foam core are comprised of a thermoplastic polymer having a glass transition temperature of at least 200.degree. F. and a tensile modulus of at least 1.0.times.10.sup.5 psi. A variety of decorative coatings and films can be secured to the concave face of the laminar sheet so as to achieve the desired decorative appearance.
