Abstract:
Printed wood paneling having a reduced flame spread rating is provided by embossing the wood surface to be finished to depress in a relatively uniform pattern of depressed portions at least about 20% up to about 70% of the surface area of the wood to a depth of at least about 0.01 inch, and these depressed portions are then filled with an intumescent fire retardant filler and the excess filler is substantially removed from the undepressed portions of the wood surface. The embossed panel with the depressed portions thereof filled with intumescent fire retardant filler is then finished in conventional fashion by applying a filler, sanding, base coating, printing, and usually embossing. A clear topcoat is then applied to protect the finish. When a flame impinges upon the finished surface, the heat is transmitted to the buried intumescent material causing expansion of this material and the production of a uniform pattern of raised portions of difficulty burnable foam insulating material which retards the flame spread rate.
Abstract:
Aqueous emulsions of unsaturated polyester resins comprising two "air-drying" polyesters, one polyester containing co-condensed polyalkylene glycol residues and the other polyester being free from groups such as these, can be hardened uniformly and relatively quickly to form tack-free, open-pore coatings, even on exotic woods.

Abstract:
A method for preventing the peeling of old paint from substrate when a latex paint is applied thereto comprising the step of first applying to the old paint a composition consisting essentially of an aqueous resin binder formed by blending (1) an aqueous alkaline emulsion of a polyurethane resin based on a drying oil and (2) an aqueous dispersion of a thermoplastic acrylic polymer.
Abstract:
Water base latex compositions suitable for coating corrodible metals, such as sand blasted ferrous metal, are prepared by a process characterized by the essential steps of (1) emulsifying under alkaline conditions a film forming oxidatively curable oil or alkyd modified polyurethane, and (2) blending therewith a copolymeric or homopolymeric acrylic or vinyl acetate latex.For metal coatings or for universal coatings for both (bleeding) woods and metal, a single pigment or a combination of pigments with corrosion inhibiting characteristics can be used with the polyurethane-acrylic latex, or polyurethane vinyl latex.
Abstract:
An improved wood textile bobbin which is provided with two layers of protective coatings, the first layer being made up of ricinoleate diphenyl methane diisocyanate prepolymer (MDI) trifunctional polyether polyol (TPP), and the second layer being composed of MDI, TPP, acrylic copolymer, and to a process for producing such a bobbin.
Abstract:
Coloring of porous material by means of an aqueous solution of furfuryl alcohol, a catalyst selected from a compound of iron, nickel, cobalt, copper, zinc and cadmium, and a complexing agent. Specifically, inexpensive elm veneer is colored to resemble the more expensive walnut.
