Abstract: A process for creating decorative laminates comprising a resin based substrate layer, a barrier layer impermeable to the reaction products produced during the curing of the substrate resin and subsequent heating of the resultant laminate, and a decorative layer formed by a decorative ink pattern is disclosed. The barrier layer, which is located between the substrate layer and the decorative layer, prevents the reaction products from reaching the decorative ink pattern when the substrate resins are cured during laminate processing, and, during subsequent heating of the final product, acts as a sink for heat stress and prevents combustible toxic gases from passing through the laminate into the surrounding environment. Thus, destructive of the decorative ink pattern during laminating processing is prevented. Further, the resulting decorative laminates have high heat release thresholds and reduce the risk of flashover in enclosed areas.

These layers are tightly packed together and are arranged generally perpendicular to the heat flow. The enclosure walls are thin and sufficiently ductile or resilient so that when air is pumped from inside the enclosure, the walls deform in response to atmospheric pressure and transmit this load to the layers of foil and sheeting thereby compressing them tightly together.

Abstract: A process for coating a packaging film with a transparent barrier coating. The process starts with a metal substrate made of, or having a surface coating of, a valve metal or valve metal alloy. The metal substrate is anodized to form an anodic film of the valve metal on the metal substrate. The anodic film is made readily detachable from the metal by carrying out the anodization step in the presence of an adhesion-reducing agent, e.g. a fluoride. The packaging film is then attached to the anodic film and the anodic film is detached from the metal. The transferred anodic film forms a thin dense oxide coating on the packaging film that acts as a barrier against oxygen and moisture transparent. The invention can be used for making packaging films suitable for packaging foodstuffs, and the like.

The injection pressure and the autogenous pressure incident to the curing of the reactive polymeric precursors deform the surface finishing film into intimate contact with a surface of the mold cavity, and simultaneously the polymeric precursors chemically bond to the surface finishing film.
