  • Patent number: 4480003
    Abstract: Transparency film for use in a plain paper electrostatic copier. The transparency film comprises (a) a flexible, transparent, heat resistant, polymeric film base, (b) an image receiving layer carried upon a first major surface of the film base, and (c) a layer of electrically conductive material carried on a second major surface of the film base. Where necessary a primer coat is interposed between the image receiving layer and the film base and/or between the layer of electrically conductive material and the film base. A protective coating is preferably applied over the layer of conductive material. This film can be used in either powder-toned or liquid-toned plain paper copiers for making transparencies.

  • Patent number: 4476657
    Abstract: A precast concrete structural unit is provided including a concrete sub-unit and a plastic resinous sheet. The sheet is adhered to the sub-unit at the time of pouring the concrete, utilizing a polychloroprene contact adhesive. The structural unit may further include adhesive coated reinforcement. Among the concrete structural units which are provided is a burial vault including concrete wall portions and a plastic resinous liner. The liner is adhered to the wall portions, at the time of pouring the concrete, utilizing the polychloroprene contact adhesive. The vault may also include adhesive coated reinforcement. The polychloroprene contact adhesive is essentially a blended aqueous latex comprising hydrophilic chloroprene copolymer latex particles and emulsified or dispersed hydrocarbon resin tackifier particles.
