Abstract: An aqueous ink jet ink is made by forming a mixture of a pigment, an optional dispersant if the pigment is not self-dispersing, dispersing, and a urethane polymer or prepolymer dispersion in water. This ink is useful in a variety of ink jet printing applications such as printing on wide format substrates and textiles.

Abstract: The water-resistance properties of polyester-based polyurethanes are remarkably enhanced, without adversely affecting the transparency properties of these materials to any significant degree, by including in the polymer a substantially dispersed nano-particle proton scavenger. The hydrolytic stability and water-resistance properties of polyester-based polyurethanes are remarkably enhanced and match those of polycarbonate-based polyurethanes, without adversely affecting the transparency of these materials to any significant degree, by including in the polymer a substantially dispersed nano-particle proton scavenger such as calcium carbonate.

Abstract: A bath mat comprises a base member made from a first elastomeric material and at least one contrast member differing from the base member but manufactured to be integral with the base member through an over-molding or co-molding process. The contrast member differs in color and/or hardness or feel from the base member providing improved aesthetics and functionality.

Abstract: A sheet product is provided which comprises a scrim embedded in a continuous layer of a foamed resin. The sheet material is useful as a drawer liner or a shelf liner and is fabricated without need for lamination of separate layers to a scrim material.

Abstract: An improved polymeric layered article or sheet is disclosed that is particularly adapted for use in lining shelves and drawers. The lining sheet preferably contains one or more fragrance emitting agents. The lining sheet may optionally contain a layer of a low tack adhesive along its underside to prevent or minimize slipping between the sheet and the surface to be lined.

Abstract: A shelf liner composite structure having as the supporting substrate a synthetic paper having a coating or film of a polymeric material on a first surface and a repositionable adhesive on a second surface. The composite structure optionally has a tie coating between the adhesive and the synthetic paper. The adhesive has a stronger bond with the synthetic paper or tie coating than with the coating or film on the first surface.
