Method of manufacturing a transparent electrically conductive substrate having an application process whereby a wet layer is formed by applying onto a substrate film a coating liquid comprising metallic nanowires dispersed in a solvent, and a drying process whereby the solvent contained in the abovementioned wet layer is removed by drying, characterised in that the abovementioned drying process includes a process whereby the orientation of the abovementioned metallic nanowires is altered by introducing a forced draft facing towards the substrate from a direction that is different from the longitudinal direction of the substrate film.

The present invention relates to a process for coating paper, wherein the coating material used is a biodegradable, aliphatic-aromatic polyester having a melt volume rate (MVR) according to EN ISO 1133 (190° C., 2.16 kg weight) of from 3 to 50 cm.sup.3/10 min.

A device for coating a metal strip substrate includes a guiding apparatus for guiding the strip substrate along a movement path. A first coating apparatus coats a first main side of the strip substrate with an electrostatically charged coating powder which is in a fluidized state. The first coating apparatus is arranged under a first path section of the movement path. A second coating apparatus coats a second main side of the strip substrate with an electrostatically charged coating powder which is in a fluidized state. A redirecting unit redirects the strip substrate between the first and the second coating apparatus in such a way that the strip substrate in a second path section travels oppositely to the strip substrate in the first path section. The second coating apparatus is arranged at least partly geodetically under the second path section.

A method of manufacturing a bi-layered coating is provided, which includes applying a primer paint on a substrate, wherein the primer paint includes 100 parts by weight of a first polyvinyl fluoride, 20 to 50 parts by weight of an assistance resin, and 150 to 170 parts by weight of a first latent solvent, and wherein the assistance resin is polyester modified epoxy resin, polyester type polyurethane resin, phenoxy resin, or a combination thereof. The primer paint is baked and dried to form a primer coating. A finish paint is then applied onto the primer coating, wherein the finish paint includes 100 parts by weight of a second polyvinyl fluoride and 120 to 150 parts by weight of a second latent solvent. The finish paint is baked and dried to form a finish coating on the primer coating.

The invention relates to a process for hot application of an adhesive composition (80) on a support (96), by means of a system comprising: a nozzle (50) for applying the adhesive composition (80), a line (88) for supplying the nozzle (50) with the adhesive composition (80) to be applied in fluid form, a mixer (30) positioned in the line (88) for the homogeneous mixture of the main components of the adhesive composition before its application; the applied adhesive composition (80) including as main components: a silylated prepolymer, a compatible tackifying resin; the adhesive composition comprising a cross-linking catalyst; the process comprising: supplying the line (88) with the silylated prepolymer separated from the cross-linking catalyst, the mixing of the cross-linking catalyst with the main components by means of the mixer (30), the hot application of the mixed adhesive composition (80) onto a support (96).

A hot melt adhesive composition which can realize moderate adhesive strength with respect to the adherend when porous substrate is used, the composition, including: a styrene-based block copolymer; a tackifier; and a plasticizer; wherein: the styrene-based block copolymer is a styrene-butadiene block copolymer and a butadiene portion thereof is partially hydrogenated; the tackifier is contained by 65 to 190 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the styrene-based block copolymer; and the plasticizer is contained by 0.1 to 24 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the styrene-based block copolymer.

The invention relates to a device for printing on edge bands including at least one printhead for producing a printed image on the edge band; a linear drive for moving the at least one printhead in a printing direction within a printing region between two end positions; a feeding apparatus for feeding the edge band into the printing region in a transport direction; and a control apparatus for controlling the at least one printhead, the linear drive and the feeding apparatus. The technical problem of technically and economically improving the process of printing on edge bands is solved in that the transport direction of the edge band is oriented substantially parallel to the printing direction. The invention further relates to a method for printing on edge bands.

The present invention provides a method for printing and coating a flexible substrate web so as to attain a specified coefficient of friction on both sides of the substrate web which employs the use of controlled set-off of coated and/or printed material from the front side to the back side side of the web. Furthermore the method provides a substrate web produced therefrom and the method is useful for packaging substrate webs and, in particular, foil substrate webs.
