Abstract: Included are polyurethaneurea compositions include polyurethaneurea aqueous dispersions. The dispersions may be prepared with solvent or in the absence of any added solvent. Films and other shaped articles may be prepared from the dispersions by a casting a drying method and optionally included with a substrate including paper, fabric or garments.

Abstract: Articles comprising multiple layers are included. The multiple layer articles may include fabrics or foams in combination with a polyurethaneurea composition such as a film or an aqueous dispersion.

Abstract: Novel aqueous polyurethane dispersions and adhesive films formed therefrom are provided. The aqueous polyurethane dispersions are provided in solvent-free systems of a prepolymer comprising at least one polyether or polyester polyol, a mixture of MDI isomers, and a diol. The adhesive films from such dispersions can be heat-activated for bonding, lamination, and adhesion of textile fabrics, including stretch fabrics.

Abstract: A body-shaping garment and fabric is provided. The garment includes an inner fabric layer and an outer fabric layer. The inner fabric layer is placed in an angular orientation relative to the outer fabric layer. Further, the inner fabric layer and the outer fabric layer have sufficiently isotropic hysteresis.

Abstract: A brassiere or breast shaping garment has a pair of breast-receiving cups, each of which is formed with an inner fabric layer and an outer fabric layer. The inner fabric layer is placed in an angular orientation relative to the outer fabric layer. Further, the inner fabric layer and the outer fabric layer have sufficiently isotropic hysteresis.

Abstract: An article comprising an adhesive, a stretch member and a substrate wherein the adhesive is used to attach the stretch member to the fabric in a folded hem arrangement. The adhesive can be a tape made from an aqueous polyurethane dispersion and the stretch member can be a spandex fiber.

Abstract: A training aid has a light beam generator (10) adjustably mounted to a universal joint fixture (14) which is in turn held by a support strip (18) in outwardly spaced relation away from a golfer's cap bill (36) with the assistance of a spring clip (20). In use, the generator (10) is adjusted to project a spot or beam onto the ground or a golf ball. On a golfer swinging a club at the light beam spot, any unwanted body or head movement is immediately indicated to the golfer by movement of the light beam spot. Preferably, the generator (10) is a laser beam generator.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to paint and paint base and, more specifically, to a process and composition for providing a stable gel-free dispersion of zinc pyrithione plus cuprous oxide in paint. In accordance with the process of the present invention, the paint or paint base contains a carboxylic acid in order to impart desired gelation inhibition to the paint.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to paints and paint bases, and, more specifically to a process and composition for providing a stable gel-free dispersion of zinc pyrithione plus cuprous oxide biocide in paint. In accordance with the process of the present invention, the paint or paint base contains an amine treated wood rosin in order to impart desired gelation-inhibition to the paint.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to paints and paint bases, and, more specifically to a process for providing a stable gel-free dispersion of biocidal amounts of 2,2'-dithiobis(pyridine-1-oxide) or its metal salt adducts of the formula (C.sub.5 H.sub.4 NOS).sub.2 MY.sub.t or their hydrates plus cuprous oxide biocide in paint, where M is an alkaline earth metal, Y is the anion of an organic or inorganic acid, and t is 1 or 2. The resulting paint is storage stable and remains gel-free after several months of storage at room temperature.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to paints and paint bases, and, more specifically to a process for providing in situ generation of copper pyrithione biocide in a paint or paint base which comprises incorporating a metal salt of pyrithione, cuprous oxide and a controlled amount of water into the paint or paint base either during or after formulation of the paint or paint base.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to paints and paint bases, and, more specifically to a process for providing in situ generation of copper pyrithione biocide in a paint or paint base which comprises incorporating a compound of pyrithione, cuprous oxide and a controlled amount of water into the paint or paint base either during or after formulation of the paint or paint base.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to paints and paint bases, and, more specifically to a process and composition for providing a stable gel-free dispersion of zinc pyrithione plus cuprous oxide biocide in paint. In accordance with the process of the present invention, the paint or paint base is essentially water-free, and preferably contains a desiccant in order to impart desired gelation-inhibition to the paint.
