  • Patent number: 6337116
    Abstract: Disclosed is a multi-layer composite body comprising a flexible auxiliary support and separating layer disposed on at least one side of the auxiliary support, which modifies the complete separation or the locally determined detachment of a functional layer which is in the superficial contact thereto. Said body is characterized in that the separating layer contains a continuous phase and a particle-like filling material in a concentration of approximately 0.01 to 50 wt. % with respect to the separating layer wherein the surface of the filling particles is completely covered by the continuous phase, the continuous phase contains reticulated polyorganosiloxane and the surface of the separation layer that lies opposite to the auxiliary support has a surface roughness of approximately 400 to 50,000 nm and a mean roughness value of approximately 40 to 5,000 nm.

  • Patent number: 5231118
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pressure-activatible correcting tape, which has a conventional carrier and a lift-off layer for removing typed or printed type images, the lift-off layer containing a wax, a binder and optionally further additives. This correcting tape is characterized in that the lift-off layer contains approximately 5 to 35% by weight of butyl rubber, approximately 30 to 90% by weight of wax and approximately 0.1 to 5% by weight of a dispersant having a dispersing action in an aqueous medium for the aforementioned substances. The lift-off layer can be produced by means of an aqueous coating liquid, which is environmentally advantageous compared with organic dispersants. This correcting tape can be used without restriction and independently of the type of typewriter.
