  • Process for repulping of fiber-latex binder composites
    Patent number: 5133833
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a process for repulping or reclaiming fibers from latex-impregnated materials such as latex impregnated papers. The process involves treating the latex-impregnated material with an alkali solution for a sufficient period of time to separate the latex polymer from the fibers. This is followed by a washing step to rinse away the latex polymer thereby leaving the reclaimed fibers for subsequent use such as the formation of new paper stock.

  • Melt transfer web
    Patent number: 4235657
    Abstract: A melt transfer web useful for transferring pre-printed inked graphic patterns onto natural or synthetic base fabric sheets, as well as other porous, semi-porous or non-porous material workpieces, is disclosed. The transfer web is comprised of a flexible, heat-stable substrate, preferably a saturated paper having a top surface coated with a first film layer of a given polymer serving as a heat-separable layer, and a second film layer superposed on the first film layer and comprised of another given polymer selected to cooperate with the first film layer to form a laminate having specific adhesion to porous, semi-porous or non-porous materials when heat softened. For use in the melt transfer process, the coated surface has printed thereon with compatible inks, any desired pattern or design.
