A process for producing a digital printed heat transfer, the process comprising the steps of: 1) obtaining a substrate having a release layer; 2) applying a primer suitable for electrophotographic toner to the release layer; 3) digitally-printing electrophotographic toner to define a graphic within a defined region of a substrate inclusive of both printed and unprinted areas within that region; 4) digitally printing a tacky viscoelastic binder in registration with the printed areas of the digitally-printed graphic; 5) applying a polyurethane-based powder adhesive to the defined region of said substrate; 6) removing loose powder adhesive that does not adhere to the defined regions of said graphic; and 7) fusing and bonding the adhesive to the digital printed graphic. The binder precisely secures the adhesive powder to the printed graphical areas. The result is then cooled to set the image for use as a heat transfer.

Provided is a method of producing a fluorosilicone rubber laminate. The method comprises: (1) applying a primer composition onto a substrate, and forming a primer layer on a surface of the substrate; and (2) bringing a fluorosilicone rubber composition into contact with the primer layer, and adhering a fluorosilicone rubber to the primer layer. The fluorosilicone rubber composition comprises a platinum-based catalyst and/or a fluorosiloxane containing a silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atom. The primer composition comprises a platinum-based catalyst or a fluorosiloxane containing a silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atom, however the primer composition does not simultaneously comprise a platinum-based catalyst and a fluorosiloxane containing a silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atom. Either the primer composition or the fluorosilicone rubber composition comprises a platinum-based catalyst or a fluorosiloxane containing a silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atom. A laminate in which a fluorosilicone rubber layer and a base material are favorably adhered to each other can be obtained.

A method of treating PVC plates as well as plates and panels manufactured by this method. The plates and panels, in particular wall, ceiling or floor panels, comprise a heat-treated carrier plate based on polyvinyl chloride with a density of, for example, 900 to 2,500 kg/m.sup.3 and a film applied thereon. The film is a thin PVC-film and comprises a decorative pattern directly printed thereon.

A method of coating a structure is disclosed. Method steps include providing a structure having a first portion of a first material having a first surface and providing a second portion of a second material having a second surface, wherein a mask is provided over the first surface. Another step includes exposing the mask and the second surface to a solution comprising a polymer and a solvent, wherein the solution dewets from the mask and the polymer collects onto the second surface to form a polymer coating over the second surface without forming a polymer coating on the first surface.
