Abstract: A decorative dry paint transfer laminate includes a layer of dry paint, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on one side of the dry paint layer, and a release liner in releasable contact with the dry paint layer on a side opposite from the pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA). The release liner has a matte release coat layer that contacts the dry paint layer. The release liner is released from the dry paint layer after the PSA side is attached to a surface. The matte release coat adheres to the dry paint layer to provide a protective function but also to transfer a decorative matte finish to the dry paint layer when the release liner is removed from it. The laminate includes a barrier layer to protect against significant discoloration of the color in the dry paint layer caused by migration of mono azo pigments from a painted surface.

Abstract: A decorative dry paint wall film includes a layer of dry paint, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on one side of the dry paint layer, and a release liner in releasable contact with the dry paint layer on a side opposite from the pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA). The release liner has a matte release coat layer that contacts the dry paint layer. The release liner is released from the dry paint layer after the PSA side is attached to a wall. The matte release coat transfers a matte finish to the dry paint layer when the release liner is removed. The wall film includes a barrier layer to protect against significant discoloration of the color in the dry paint layer caused by migration of azo-type pigments from a painted wall surface. The barrier layer in one embodiment comprises a dry emulsion containing ethylene-vinyl alcohol and a dispersed polymeric material which in one embodiment comprises a urethane material.

Abstract: Layered articles for applying color on a surface including a sheet of visually-perceivable color effects, a bonding agent capable of bonding the sheet to the surface, and a releasable liner removably attached to the sheet. The article further includes a substance, agent or barrier that prevents or, at the least, reduces the transfer of an extraneous agent from the surface to a location in the layered article that would affect the visually-perceivable color effect conveyed by the sheet.

Abstract: The present invention is to an edible carrier for flavor or color or flavor and color. The edible carrier contains a starch-bearing material, a balking agent and a coloring or flavoring agent. The edible carrier has a texture ranging from soft to flinty and retains the coloring or flavoring agent when added to a high moisture medium such as a dough or batter.

Abstract: The present invention includes a process for making a mixture of homogeneous texturizing or flavoring particles that include fiber and protein from a mixture of heterogeneous particles. The process includes providing a mixture of heterogeneous particles that comprises particles of a cereal grain having a flavor and a fiber concentration. The process also includes moistening the particles to form a dough-like mixture, extruding the mixture and cutting the extruded mixture to form homogeneous texturizing and flavoring particles. The present invention also relates to an edible flake that includes a cereal grain. The edible flake includes an imparted flavor and a fiber concentration.

Abstract: The present invention includes a process for making a mixture of homogeneous texturizing or flavoring particles that include fiber and protein from a mixture of heterogeneous particles by providing a mixture of heterogeneous particles of particles of a cereal grain having a flavor and a fiber concentration of at least about 25% by dry weight. The process also includes moistening the particles to form a dough-like mixture, extruding the mixture and cutting the extruded mixture to form homogeneous texturizing and flavoring particles.
