Abstract: An improved release coating for heat transferable laminates wherein an ink design layer is transferred from a carrier web onto an article such as a plastic or glass container upon application of heat and pressure. The improved release coating transfers with the ink design layer and forms an optically clear protective coating over the transferred ink design layer. The transferred release coating upon resolidification has an exceedingly high optical clarity, with no hazing, spotting, or halo discernible over the transferred ink design layer. The improved release coating incorporates a tackifying resin in a wax base. The wax base includes a montan wax and a crystalline wax such as paraffin wax. The wax base may also include a microcrystalline wax component. The preferred tackifying resin is selected from the polyterpene class.

Abstract: The scuff resistance of high-pressure laminated plastic is improved by incorporating in or very near the surface thereof, finely divided polyethylene wax having a particle size of about 1-25 microns and a melting point of preferably 220.degree.-230.degree. F. The wax is incorporated as part of an abrasion-resistant coating mixture applied to the face of an unimpregnated decor paper sheet in an ultra-thin layer, which layer is dried at a temperature below the wax melting point and then impregnated with conventional melamine-formaldehyde resin. The impregnated sheet is placed onto a sheet of convention phenolic resin impregnated core sheets and consolidated in the conventional way under heat and pressure. During consolidation, the wax particles "bloom", or migrate to the surface. The finished laminate surface has greatly improved scuff resistance.

Abstract: The negotiable document which may be used, e.g. by airlines includes a cover sheet provided with a hot spot carbon or other image transfer medium and at least one underlying sheet fully or partly coated with microcapsules of a dye intensifier and attractor. When information is imprinted on the cover sheet, the microcapsules of the dye intensifier in the underlying sheet are burst to wet the sheet and, thus, allow impregnation of the image transferred by the hot spot carbon into the fibers of the sheet. At the same time, the dye within the hot spot carbon is attracted into the sheet. The impregnation of the sheet is sufficient to prevent removal of the image from the underlying sheet without first destroying the sheet or mutilating it in such a manner that the defalcation effort is obvious.
