Abstract: Disclosed is a new internally heated calendering roll capable of finishing paper satisfactorily at the temperatures, heat loads and pressures required for substrata thermal molding. The roll is internally heated and has a circumferential wall at least 4 inches thick. It includes means to provide heat into the interior of the circumferential wall to be conducted through the wall to the outer surface for heating the paper web being calendered by the roll. The roll is constructed of a first material with a thin circumferential surface layer of a second, cermet or ceramic containing material. The surface layer material has a hardness of at least 530 Vickers and a thickness of between .003 inch and .030 inches. It is capable of being polished to a roughness of less than 6 micro inches Ra. The roll has uniformly spaced conduits for passing heated fluid located no more than 2 inches from the outer edge of the conduits to the circumferential surface. The roll is capable of conducting at least 8,500 BTU/Sq. Ft./Hr.

Abstract: Disclosed is a polishing doctor blade for resurfacing the surface of a metal calendering roll while in operation, comprising a working surface containing diamond abrasive particles harder than the surface material.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improvement in the vapor phase catalytic production of an amine by the reaction of a mixture comprising an olefin having from 2 to 8 carbon atoms and ammonia or ammonia type compound. The improvement which provides for high selectivity to the amine resides in the use of an alumino silicate as the catalyst.

Abstract: Disclosed is a coated sheet material comprising a release medium having thereon a gluable coating for use in making a decorative heat-and-pressure consolidated laminate. The gluable coating is transferred during the consolidation step from the release medium to the back side of the laminate, and the laminate can then be glued to a reinforcing substrate with conventional glues and without sanding the back of the laminate. The transferable gluable coating comprises a linear copolymer of (A) maleic anhydride or maleic acid or maleic acid salt and (B) ethylene or a vinyl monomer having a side chain of an aliphatic group with up to four carbon atoms or an alkoxy group with up to four carbon atoms.

Abstract: A presensitized planographic printing plate which is imaged by exposure to conventional ultraviolet light sources through a mask which is formed on the surface of the plate by means of a laser beam.

Abstract: A planographic printing plate which is imaged by means of a laser beam in combination with overall exposure to ultraviolet light and developed by means which are conventional in lithographic art.

Abstract: Material is transferred by a laser beam from a transparent carrier film to a lithographic surface, thereby producing a planographic printing plate and a film having clear areas corresponding to the image on the plate.

Abstract: A release paper which is particularly useful in platen press applications and in the casting of self-supporting films which comprises a fibrous base having a coating thereon derived from an aqueous coating composition containing a release agent, a monomeric polyhydric alcohol and a cross-linkable, thermosetting resin.
