Abstract: A card laminate is produced from a centrally disposed foil laminate (1) consisting of an interior layer (2) with a metal layer (3) and with two exterior transparent plastic layers (4a, 4b), and two exterior plastic films (5a, 5b) of which at least the plastic film (5a) overlying the metal layer (3) is transparent and carries a print (6a). If the print (6a) is on the exterior, a transparent cover layer (7a) is furthermore provided. Materials and layer thicknesses are preferably selected symmetrically to the interior, metallized layer (2, 3) in order to reduce warping effects.

Abstract: Curable organopolysiloxanes with epoxy groups are disclosed which contain additionally at least one group of the formula[--O--((C.sub.n H.sub.2n O--).sub.x).sub.y ].sub.z R.sup.3 --O--((C.sub.n H.sub.2n O--).sub.x).sub.y HwhereinR.sup.3 is a divalent alkylene group with 2 to 11 carbon atoms,z is 0 or 1y is 0 or 1z+y is 1 or 2n has an average value of 2 to 3 in the average molecule, the absolute value of n being 2, 3 or 4 andx has a value of 1 to 200.The organopolysiloxanes which contain the additional group are useful as curable coating agents with adhesive properties when used alone or in admixture with curable compounds which have epoxy groups, particularly organopolysiloxanes which contain epoxy groups, but are free of the aforementioned additional group. The organopolysiloxanes are used in combination with catalytically acting curing agents.

Abstract: Organopolysiloxanes are disclosed which contain, aside from methyl groups, alkyl groups with 1 to 20 carbon atoms, aryl groups or aralkyl groups, epoxy groups which are linked over Si--C bonds to silicon atoms of the polysiloxanes, and R.sup.3 OH groups, R.sup.3 being a divalent alkylene groups with 3 to 11 carbon atoms. The organopolysiloxanes have good compatibility with photoinitiators and adhesion and release properties which can be adjusted for the intended application by coordinating the long chain alkyl groups, the epoxy groups and the --R.sup.3 OH groups.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for achieving and maintaining an inert atmosphere as oxygen-deficient as possible in a treatment chamber, having a reaction zone, particularly an irradiation chamber, traversed by a length of material, wherein the length of material is supplied to the chamber through an inlet channel and conducted from the chamber through an outlet channel. A circulating inert gas stream, which detaches the entrained gas boundary layer held by the material, is moved countercurrently to the length of material in the inlet channel and is supplemented in a controlled manner with fresh inert gas in such amount that a given maximum oxygen concentration is not exceeded in the reaction zone and the flow rate of the inert gas stream is controlled, so that the pressure before the exit gap of the outlet channel is the same or slightly higher than the surrounding pressure.

Abstract: A (meth)acrylate ester-modified organopolysiloxane composition, which is composed of several fractions of equilibrated (meth)acrylate ester-modified organopolysiloxanes that differ in the average number of silicon atoms in the mixture of molecules, is disclosed which contains60 to 95% by weight of a modified organopolysiloxane A having, on the average, 5 to 50 silicon atoms and5 to 40% by weight of a modified organopolysiloxane B having, on the average, at least 50 silicon atoms,with the proviso that the number of silicon atoms in the average molecule of the modified organopolysiloxane B is at least twice as large as the number of silicon atoms in the average molecule of the modified organopolysiloxane A. The organopolysiloxane mixtures have improved abhesive properties.

Abstract: Novel polysiloxanes with (meth)acrylate groups and monocarboxylate groups and their use as radiation-curable abhesive coating matrials are disclosed. The modified polysiloxanes adhere well to the support that is to be coated and can be cured at a high rate on the support. The cured coating has good chemical and physical stabilities and a high flexibility. The abhesive properties can be adapted to the chemical character of the adhesives, so that the desired degree of abhesiveness is obtained.

Abstract: Polysiloxanes with (meth)acrylate ester groups linked over SiC groups are disclosed which are obtainable by the reaction of epoxy-functional polysiloxanes of the general formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 are the same or different low molecular alkyl groups with 1 to 4 carbon atoms or phenyl groups,R.sup.2 is the same as R.sup.1 or presents the R.sup.3 group 70 to 100% of the R.sup.3 groups being epoxy functional groups and 30 to 0% being alkyl groups with 2 to 20 carbon atoms or hydrogen, with the proviso that the average molecule contains at least 1.5 epoxy groups,a has a value of 1 to 1,000 andb a value of 0 to 10;with such amounts of an acid mixture, comprising(a) 10 to 90 mole percent of (meth)acrylic anhydride and(b) 90 to 10 mole percent of (meth)acrylic acid,that the sum of (a) and (b) adds up to 100 mole percent, and that there are present 0.8 to 1.9n and preferably 1.1 to 1.9n acid equivalents per n epoxide equivalents.
