Described is a process for producing adhesive-coated articles, wherein an aqueous dispersion adhesive composition comprising a dispersed adhesive polymer and a dissolved polyvinylpyrrolidone is applied at high web speed to a film substrate using a coating machine having at least one rotating roller and wherein the coated film substrate may optionally be bonded to a further substrate. Also described is the use of polyvinylpyrrolidone as a defoamer for aqueous dispersion adhesive compositions applied to a film substrate using a coating machine having a rapidly rotating roller.

An improved slingshot band having a tapered outer contour. The slingshot band has a tubular body having a first fork end and a second pouch end. The tubular body comprises a first layer of an elastic polymer. The first layer has a constant thickness. The tubular body further comprises a second layer of an elastic polymer. The second layer has a greater thickness near the fork end of the tubular body and lower thickness near the pouch end of the tubular body. The increased thickness of the section of the tubular body near the fork end of the slingshot band reinforces the most vulnerable section of the slingshot band against failure, thereby extending its longevity.

A method of forming a digital print on a surface by applying powder of dry ink including colourants on the surface, bonding a part of the dry ink powder to the surface by a digital heating print head such that the digital print is formed by the bonded dry ink colourants and removing non-bonded dry ink from the surface.

The invention provides coating processes for producing finished fibrous panels comprising applying a prime coat onto at least one side of the fibrous panel by curtain coating; and applying a finish coat over the prime coat by spray coating.

A method of producing a gas barrier laminate of the present disclosure includes a step of forming a coating film on a surface of a base film or a laminate including the base film, the coating film containing zinc ions, at least one of metal alkoxide and a hydrolysate thereof, and an aqueous polymer, and a step of drying the coating film to form a gas barrier layer on the surface of the base film or the laminate including the base film. A gas barrier laminate of the present disclosure includes a base film or a laminate including the base film, and a gas barrier layer provided on a surface of the base film or the laminate including the base film. In the gas barrier laminate, the gas barrier layer contains zinc dispersed in the gas barrier layer and an organic-inorganic composite.

A laminated film has a resin layer on at least one surface of a polyester film, in which the resin layer is on at least one surface layer, the water contact angle of the resin layer is 85°-100°, inclusive, and |H2−H1|≤1.0 (%) is satisfied, H1 (%) being the haze of the laminated film and H2 (%) being the haze of the laminated film after being immersed in a solvent and subjected to a rub test. This laminated film has excellent coating and releasability properties with respect to ceramic slurry.

Disclosed are an environment-friendly heat shielding film using a non-radioactive stable isotope and a manufacturing method therefor and, more specifically, an environment-friendly heat shielding film using a non-radioactive stable isotope and a manufacturing method therefor, wherein a heat shielding layer is formed on one surface of a substrate layer; the heat shielding layer is composed of stable isotopes as elements constituting a precursor and contains a non-radioactive stable isotope tungsten bronze compound having an oxygen-deficient .sup.(Y)A.sub.x.sup.(182,183,184,186)W.sub.1O.sub.(3-n) type hexagonal structure, thereby preventing the generation of radioactive materials, fundamentally blocking haze, and improving the visible light transmittance and the infrared light blocking rate; and the heat resistance and durability problems that may occur when the heat shielding layer is formed of the non-radioactive stable isotope tungsten bronze compound are solved by a passivation film.

A water-based primer composition including (a) a water-based primer component; and (b) a dye component wherein the dye is adapted for providing a visual indication of dryness during the drying process of the water-based primer composition; and wherein the dye undergoes a visual color change when subjected to a drying temperature for visually determining the dryness of a primer film formed from the water-based primer composition.

An inkjet image printed onto a absorbable coated releasable carrier, transposed and adhered permanently to a surface designed for oil painting on, the removal of the releasable carrier, the exposure of a muted surface which color may be of a ghosted white, with the printed image being hidden from view and an oil being brushed into the ghosted white color surface to reveal the underlying color image, thereafter creating a finished oil painting.

A method of making large ultrathin free-standing polymer films without use of a sacrificial layer includes the steps of providing a substrate, applying a polyelectrolyte material to said substrate, applying a polymer material onto said substrate and onto said polyelectrolyte material, and directly delaminating said polymer material from said substrate and said polyelectrolyte to produce the ultrathin free-standing polymer film.
