Abstract:
Aminoplast and phenoplast particules are obtained by providing an aqueous solution of such a resin having a water tolerance level, adding a particulate core-forming material in solid form, e.g. mineral particles or cured resin particles, as well as a mixture of water and a stabilizing agent, the amount of water being sufficient to exceed the water tolerance level of the aminoplast or phenoplast, and thus forming an emulsion or suspension of the resin coated particles in water, and advancing cure of the resin to form partially or fully cured resin coatings having a thickness preferably about 5-75 mu m encapsulating the particulate core-forming material.

This subject invention relates to novel hydrazide compounds useful as dot-promoting agents in photographic image systems, methods for making them, and to photographic materials which comprise these compounds.
Abstract:
A suede-like micro-fibril finish is imparted to fibrillatable cellulosic materials by open width hydraulic treatment, such as with a hydraulic apparatus line (10). The production line includes pre-treatment stations for the fabric (12), such as roll feed table (46), unwind station (14), scray (16), edge guide (18), saturator (20), washer or scouring stations (22, 24) and pre-tenter station (26). Following the pre-treatment, the fabric is advanced through hydraulic treatment modules (30, 32) which include fluid curtain (34), columnar fluid jets (35), endless conveyor (48) driven by rollers (50), planar support members (52, 54) and spaced manifolds (56). The fabric is then advanced to post-treatment stations which include weft straighteners (40, 42), padder station (36), vacuum extractor station (44), frame dryer (38), inspection stations (72, 74), fabric accumulator (76), operator inspection station (78), and fabric wind-up station (80).
Abstract:
A suspension of finally divided hardened aminoplast or phenoplast resin, particularly melamine-formaldehyde resin, is prepared by mixing an aqueous solution of the resin or its precursors with a water-insoluble stabilizing agent, particularly microcrystalline cellulose; sufficient water is provided to exceed the water tolerance level of the resin and thus form a uniform emulsion or suspension of resin particles in water. Cure of the resin is then advanced such as by heating to form partially or fully cured resin particles of relatively uniform particle size.
Abstract:
Woven or knit fabric is pre-tentered (stretched) (10) prior to hydroenhancement treatement (16, 18) to a predetermined width in excess of the desired finished width of the fabric. The pre-tentering width is selected so that the expected shrinkage caused by the hydroenhancing process reduces the width of the enhanced fabric to sligtly less than the desired finished width. The fabric is post-tentered (20) after the hydroenhancing process only by a slight amount to the exact desired finished width. Since only a slight increase in width is required, there is very little loss in cover of the enhanced fabric. Post-tentering to a slight increase in width will also provide a slight tension for holding the fabric in the tenter clips and prevent the fabric from dragging in the tenter.
Abstract:
This invention generally relates to a nonwomen fabric (30) for use as a liner for the magnetic recording medium in a computer diskette. More particularly, it is concerned with a thermally bonded, multi-layer, composite nonwoven which includes a distinct top magnetic media contacting layer (100) having 25-100 % rayon fibers, and middle and bottom layers (110, 120) being substantially free of rayon fibers. The middle layer (110) is composed of a plurality of webs (115) each comprising a blend of matrix thermoplastic fibers and binder fibers. The binder fibers in the middle layer (110) are isolated from the two exterior layers (100, 120). The bottom cartridge contacting layer (120) comprises 100 % matrix thermoplastic fibers. The cartridge contacting layer (120) prevents the lower melting thermoplastic fibers in the middle layer from sticking to calender rolls during thermal bonding. This structure provides a liner with superior wiping and hygroscopic dimensional stability and low debris characteristics.
Abstract:
The specification discloses paperboard having a water-repellant coating which includes a polymer matrix/wax mixture and which is applied to the paperboard as an aqueous formulation. The polymer matrix includes polymer chains which are ionically cross-linked through pendant carboxylic acid groups to provide, together with the wax, a substantially continuous, water-repellant film which more readily breaks down under the alkaline conditions of repulping. The figure illustrates a repulpable, water-repellant paperboard (12) coated with the water-repellant coating (26). The coated board exhibits improved release characteristics and resistance to blocking, making it particularly well-suited in corrugated box constructions used in the shipping of perishable food items such as meats, poultry, fish products, fruits and vegetables.
Abstract:
A shielding system for an enclosure wherein strips of shielding material including a layer of metal, for example, metal foil or gauge metal, are placed on the walls of the enclosure in an overlapping or abutting relationship, with shielding tape between the overlapped portions or overlying the butted seam. The shielding tape preferably consists of an electrically conductive nonwoven mat of entangled fibers which is laminated on one side to metal foil and which is bonded on the other side to the metal substrates using nonconductive adhesive. The entangled fibers penetrate the nonconductive adhesive and contact the surface of the metal substrate to provide an electrical continuity that seals the seam against leakage of electromagnetic radiation.
Abstract:
A brick type container, particularly adapted for aseptic packaging of liquid foodstuffs, is formed having optimum dimensions and location of a pour spout fitment (70, 80, 90) thereon. The dimensions of the pour spout components are chosen for optimum performance. The top of the container carries a dispensing opening (36) covered by a frangible extrusion coating (48). The fitment is applied to the container by applying it while the container is encased in a pocket on a conveyor, the pocket sides being rigid.
Abstract:
An electrostatic recording media comprising a support having first and second surfaces, a conductive clay layer on the first surface of the support, at least one dielectric layer present on the conductive layer, and a non-clay conductivizing agent incorporated into the support from the second surface is described. The element is used in electrostatic imaging systems to produce images having improved density in relatively low humidities.
