Abstract: There are prepared zeolite molded articles which also contain alkali silicate and/or alkaline earth silicate and mineral fibers and/or carbon fibers in addition to the zeolite.

Abstract: A highly tacky continuous, generally self-sustaining film of pressure sensitive adhesive (formed by combining two pre-formed pressure sensitive adhesive films) without any imbedded supporting film uniquely useful for the bonding of two variably curved surfaces in superposed relationship, especially where said two surfaces are a natural fingernail and a superimposed plastic artificial fingernail, the minimum thickness of said film being at least 8 mils, the maximum thickness being about 12 mils, and the minimum initial adhesion to low energy plastic surfaces of said adhesive being at least 9 as defined by 3M Guide at page 16.

Abstract: An X-ray detector efficiency standard is formed of multiple spherical particles of various materials distributed over the surface of a substrate. The particles are preferably formed of pure materials, such as pure elements and stoichiometric compounds, having characteristic X-ray emission energies which span a range sufficient to determine the efficiency of the X-ray detector substantially over its operating range. The spherical particles may be formed by an electrohydrodynamic spraying process and have a diameter preferably in the range of 10 nanometers to 1 micron.

Abstract: A plastic molded article excellent in transparency, antistatic property and abrasion resistance is produced by providing on the surface of a base material comprising a transparent plastic molded article an electrically conductive coat layer comprising 60-80% by weight of an electrically conductive powder mainly composed of tin oxide and 20-40% by weight of a resin component and further providing thereon a topcoat layer comprising 0-50% by weight of an electrically conductive powder mainly composed of tin oxide and 50-100% by weight of a resin component.

Abstract: A stretchable cloth adhesive tape useful for taping which comprises a tape support woven from warps and wefts and having stretchability in at least one direction and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed on one surface of the support. The tape support is fixed in a state stretched at least 3% of its maximum elongation upon being stretched to a limit.

Abstract: A twin ply uncoated paper for ink jet processes comprised of a supporting paper substrate sheet as a first ply, and thereover as a second ply a paper sheet with filler additives attached to the fibers thereof, which additives are, for example, selected from the group consisting of amorphous synthetic silicas, inorganic silicates, metal alumino-silicates, and inorganic oxides. Three ply papers are also illustrated wherein there is situated between two second plies a supporting substrate sheet.

Abstract: A roof covering material is comprised of a polybitumen sealing web composed of a thermally weldable closed homogeneous sealing layer formed along an underside with parting and pressure equalizing means affording fluid communication over an internal region of juxtaposition of the web with a roof surface, and a support of a filamentary web impregnated with a polymerbitumen on an upper surface of the substantially fluid-impermeable web.

Abstract: The ribbed article has ribs which are built-up of multi-layer ribs. In the crossing points or overlap zones, some of the weld seams of one rib are continuous or discontinuous while the weld seams of the crossing rib are discontinuous or continuous as the case may be. The overall height of the overlap zone is the same as the ribs forming the overlap zone. A pair of guide beads are also applied to the base member prior to application of the first weld layer of a rib in order to guide the build-up of a rib.

Abstract: Disclosed is a masking tape suitable for use in manufacturing a printed circuit board. The masking tape comprises a water soluble paper as a tape base material, and a water soluble adhesive agent applied to one side of the paper. A method of filling through-holes employing such a water soluble masking tape in a process of manufacturing a printed circuit board is also disclosed.

Abstract: A resin impregnated and resin coated has a decorative portion coated at least 1 mil thick with a vinyl ester terminated bisphenol A epoxy resin matrix, containing hollow plastic microspheres through its thickness.

Abstract: Radially extending fibers are disposed over a conical surface at predetermined sites. The sites correspond to vertices of a pattern of contiguous congruent isosceles triangles inscribed onto the surface of a sector of a circle which may be conformally mapped onto the conical surface so that vertices of the pattern coincide along the join line meridian of the conical surface. Fibers are disposed between the radially extending fibers in three different directions which respectively correspond with the sides of the triangles. The material obtained exhibits an invariant fiber volume fraction along the axis of the conical surface. The material may be used to reinforce a conical object. Also, an object, such as a preform, having a conical surface and method for reinforcing an object having a conical surface, in accordance with the present invention, are described.

Abstract: A multilayer strip having an adhesive between layers, the adhesive containing frangible microcapsules carrying a fragrant liquid therein, can be used as a tear strip for a package overwrap. Upon pulling the outward layer of said strip, the overwrap is opened and the fragrance is released.

Abstract: A culvert having a corrosion resistant composite coating and a method of producing the corrosion resistant composite coating. The coating method is for use in a conventional hot dip coating line of the type wherein a steel strip, having been appropriately pretreated so as to be at or above the coating temperature and have its surface free of oxides, is caused to pass through a bath of molten coating metal. A fibrous aramid paper is bonded to the surface of the steel strip by pressing the fibers into the molten coating layer immediately after the steel strip exits the coating bath. The steel strip may be fabricted into construction products such as culvert which may be further protected with bituminous type coatings.

Abstract: Microspheres are produced by cobalt gamma radiation initiated polymerization of a dilute aqueous vinyl pyridine solution. Addition of cross-linking agent provides higher surface area beads. Addition of monomers such as hydroxyethylmethacrylate acrylamide or methacrylamide increases hydrophilic properties and surface area of the beads. High surface area catalytic supports are formed in the presence of controlled pore glass substrate.

Abstract: A waterproof covering is manufactured by depositing a fluid product, forming an adhering and watertight film, on the surface of the basis or support to be waterproofed. A textile layer is laid on the film before its complete formation, i.e., while a portion of the film forming fluid is still in its fluid state, in such a way that the central portion of this layer is not impregnated and a second fluid forming an elastic waterproof film is laid on the textile in such a way that the central portion of the textile layer is not impregnated. The roll of material used in this process is also disclosed as well as is thewaterproof covering obtained by this process and its use to waterproof terraces, front walls, foundation walls, tanks or the like.
