Abstract: A process for making a colored article of manufacture is disclosed. Accordingly an article of manufacture is first prepared of a material selected from the group consisting of metal, wood, glass, ceramic, masonry and polymeric materials. A polymeric coating (superstrate) is then applied to at least a portion of the surface of the article. At least a portion of the superstrate is brought into contact with a material system that contains (i) water, (ii) a carrier, (iii) a dye and (iv) a diol, under conditions calculated to bring about diffusion of said dye into said superstrate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of flame-resistant polycarbonate moulding compositions, which is characterized in that, besides the addition of alkali metal salts, there is incorporation of tetrafluoroethylene polymers as an intimate mixture with halogen-free graft polymers, these intimate mixtures being prepared by coagulation of the appropriate emulsion mixtures, and to the polycarbonate moulding compositions obtainable by the process according to the invention.
