  • Patent number: 5215809
    Abstract: The improved process for producing a signature panel comprises the steps of forming on the writing surface of a panel substrate a printed graphic pattern that will change upon exposure to alcohols, organic solvents, bleaching agents and surfactants, and laminating the other surface of the panel substrate with a thermoplastic resin by extrusion or hot melt coating. According to this process, signature panels can be thermocompressed at comparatively low temperatures not only to roll mills of overprint cards using a polyvinyl chloride sheet as an oversheet base but also to card substrates such as PET sheets, metal sheets and glass sheets without causing any adverse effects on the graphic pattern printed on the writing surface of the panel which will change upon exposure to chemicals.

  • Patent number: 4392265
    Abstract: The method involves treating a cellulose fiber-containing structure with an alkaline agent, coating the structure with an acid chloride having the following formula: ##STR1## (wherein X is --H, --NO.sub.2, --CH.sub.3 or --SO.sub.2 Cl) and subjecting the resultant structure to heat treatment to cause chemical modification. The acid chloride is employed in the form of an emulsion in water. The emulsion may also contain a thickener such as a natural sizing agent or a dye. The method provides a more dyeable cellulose fiber-containing structure.

  • Patent number: 4286958
    Abstract: This invention provides a method of dyeing a fibrous structure containing cellulose fibers. The method includes the steps of impregnating the fibrous structure with an alkaline compound in an amount of from 1 to 20% by weight based on the weight of the fibrous structure and with a modifying agent, the molar ratio of the alkaline compound to the modifying agent being 0.1 to 2.0, and the modifying agent being a compound of the formula ##STR1## where X is --H, --NO.sub.2, --CH.sub.3, or --SO.sub.2 Cl; effecting chemical modification of the impregnated fibrous structure by heat-treating it under steaming or dry heating conditions; and then dyeing the modified fibrous structure with a dye such as a disperse dye.
