Abstract: A production method of a recording sheet characterized in that a void layer having a dry thickness of 25 to 60 &mgr;m is formed by coating, onto at least one surface of a support, a void layer-forming coating composition comprising fine inorganic particles having an average particle diameter of not more than 100 nm and a hydrophilic binder, as well as not more than 10 coarse particles per ml having a particle diameter greater the particle diameter R (in &mgr;m) represented by formula (1) described below. R=80000/L2  Formula (1) wherein L represents the total dry layer thickness (in &mgr;m) of said void layer.

Abstract: The invention relates to binders BM for one-component coating systems, comprising a polyurethane alkyd resin component (A) composed of: (a) from 5 to 50% by weight of a mixture of: (a1) from 90 to 30 parts by weight of an unsaturated C6 to C30 fatty acid containing at least two nonconjugated double bonds, and (a2) from 10 to 70 parts by weight of an is unsaturated C6 to C30 fatty acid containing at least two conjugated double bonds as esterified polymer side chains of the polyurethane alkyd resin component (A) and (b) from 95 to 50% by weight of polyurethane units as polymer main chains of the polyurethane alkyd resin component (A).

Abstract: Novel hot melt construction adhesives for disposable articles, such as diapers, sanitary napkins, medical gowns, surgical drapes, and the like, are described which offer superior properties versus currently available hot melt adhesives. These hot melt construction adhesive compositions comprise a blend of styrene-isoprene block copolymer containing at least about 25 weight percent styrene and styrene-butadiene block copolymer containing at least about 25 weight percent styrene, at least one compatible tackifying resin and at least one plasticizer. The hot melt construction adhesive possesses a viscosity no greater than about 25,000 mPa·s at about 140° C., a shear adhesion failure temperature of at least about 60° C., and a static shear time to failure of no less than about 25 hours at about 23°.

Abstract: There is provided a coating composition for the formation of a hard coat having sufficient adhesivity to acrylic resin molded articles. A hard coat obtained by dispersing and dissolving a (partial) hydrolyzate of an organofunctional silane and colloidal silica in a benzyl alcohol solvent is coated on an acrylic resin molded article produced by cell casting or continuous casting to obtain an abrasion-resistant molded article.

Abstract: A method of fireproofing a component of thermoplastic material belonging to an installation for distributing a flammable liquid such as a fuel, the method consisting in coating the outside of the component in a compound based on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) that is grafted so as to be cross-linked.
