Provided is a water-dispersible sheet comprising a paper substrate comprising an inner layer and at least one surface layer, wherein a tacky adhesive layer is installed on one of the surface layer (hereinafter referred to as first surface layer), wherein the first surface layer comprises a mixed pulp 1, which comprises a wood pulp and a refined pulp with -cellulose content of 88% by weight or more, wherein the Canadian standard freeness of the mixed pulp 1 is from 450 to 600 ml CSF, the content of the wood pulp in the mixed pulp 1 is from 50 to 95% by weight, the inner layer comprises a mixed pulp 3, which comprises a wood pulp and a refined pulp with -cellulose content of 88% by weight or more, wherein the Canadian standard freeness of the mixed pulp 3 is from 600 to 750 ml CSF, and the content of the wood pulp in the mixed pulp 3 is from 50 to 95% by weight.

A prefabricated tile-type coating, whose manufacture is based on the development of a polymeric composite including mainly recycled synthetic rubber obtained from the grinding of scrap automotive waste tires, virgin rubber, or a combination of both, using as a binder a novel cross-linkable acrylic resin with the ability to be processed by pultrusion. The upper layer of the tile is made of a resin with thermochromic effect that integrates an encapsulated pigment of thermochromic material with a transition temperature in the range of 20-35 C. which changes color from white under high-temperature conditions, i.e. C. or greater than dark in conditions of low temperature, that is, 20 C. or less. The tile of elastomeric character obtained has notable competitive advantages compared to other technologies in terms of thermal resistance, solar reflectance, and resistance to the impact caused by hail or other meteorological phenomena.

A degradable containment includes an outer structural layer constructed of a pulp material, a central carrier layer constructed of a biopolymer, and an interior nanomaterial layer constructed of a nanomaterial.

There is provided an aqueous dispersion comprising 40-90 wt-% ethyl cellulose and 10-50 wt-% at least one plasticizer, and to a film having water barrier property produced from the dispersion. Additionally, there is provided a fiber based substrate comprising at least one film layer produced from the aqueous dispersion.

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a heat-sealable packaging material, the method comprising the steps of: providing a paperboard substrate comprising a top ply, applying a first dispersion barrier layer on the top ply, wherein the first dispersion barrier layer comprises a latex having a first glass transition temperature, and applying a second dispersion barrier layer on the first barrier layer, wherein the second dispersion barrier layer comprises a latex having a second glass transition temperature, wherein the second glass transition temperature is higher than the first glass transition temperature, wherein the grammage of the second dispersion barrier layer is lower than the grammage of the first dispersion barrier layer, and wherein the second dispersion barrier layer comprises pigments. The invention further relates to a respective heat-sealable packaging material.

The invention relates to a heat-sealable packaging material comprising: a paperboard substrate comprising a first side and a second side, a first coating layer on the first side, a first barrier coating layer on the first coating layer, which first barrier coating layer comprises pigments, a second coating layer on the second side, and a second barrier coating layer on the second coating layer, which second barrier coating layer comprises pigments, wherein the coating layers and the barrier coating layers comprise a latex or a water-soluble polymer, wherein the first coating layer and the second coating layer are free of pigments, wherein the first barrier coating layer and the second barrier coating layer comprise pigments in an amount in a range from >40 wt % to <70 wt %, based on the dry solid content of the respective layer, and wherein the grammage of each of the first and second coating layer and of the first and second barrier coating layer is in a range from >1 g/m2 to <10 g/m2. The invention further relates to a method of manufacturing a respective packaging material and a packaging derived therefrom.

An inkjet ink contains a pigment, a water-soluble organic solvent, water, and a surfactant. The water-soluble organic solvent includes a glycol ether compound. A difference between a dynamic surface tension ?.sub.10 of the inkjet ink at a surface age of 10 milliseconds and a dynamic surface tension ?.sub.10000 of the inkjet ink at a surface age of 10000 milliseconds is no greater than 3.4 mN/m. An inkjet recording method is an inkjet recording method for forming an image on a recording medium with the above-mentioned inkjet ink and includes forming the image by ejecting the inkjet ink toward the recording medium. The recording medium is a poorly absorbent recording medium.

The present invention is a press-printing method for image transfer with a specially coated paper and sublimation ink, in which a pattern or image is printed on a paper coated with the special coating for subsequent transfer to the object to be printed. When used in an ink jet printing, screen printing, gravure printing or flexographic printing process, the coating prevents the printed ink from permeating the paper due to paper porosity. The image transfer from the coated paper to the object to be printed is performed by pressure and heat at a temperature between 200 C. and 230 C., wherein the coating is activated by the heat, so that the coating becomes soft and adjusts to the printing surface and is easily adhered to it. This allows a direct transfer of the sublimation ink to the contact area of the surface to be printed, which makes the coating superior to other coatings on the market.
