Abstract:
Iridescent magnetic pigments are produced by depositing a ferrite layer and a second metal oxide layer in succession on a substrate. The substrate may be platy and is coated with the ferrite, which is then coated with the second metal oxide layer to provide interference color effect. At least one of the layers is magnetic. The magnetic pigment may be used in coatings such as paints.
Abstract:
A rock laminate (400) has been provided that includes a layer of rock (100) and a flexible layer (200). The layer of rock (300) has a plurality of pores that can receive fluid. The flexible layer (200) is positioned above the layer of rock (100) and has a portion which extends into the pores of the layer of rock (100). Additionally a method for making a rock laminate is provided. The method includes providing a rock (100) having an exposed surface (110) and applying a polymer (200) that bonds with the exposed surface (100). The polymer (200) is lifted along with corresponding bonded portion (300) of the exposed surface (110) is lifted from the rock (110A).
Abstract:
The description relates to coated inorganic pigments comprising an inorganic pigment having a coating at least 0.8 mu m thick produced by the sol-gel process from glass-forming components and condensed into a xerogel or glass. Said pigments are produced by spray-drying a sol-pigment dispersion possibly followed by the thermal compacting of the xerogel layer into a glass layer. The coated pigments are suitable for the production of enamels and mouldings.
Abstract:
A unique treatment for pigments is provided. This treatment, which uses certain organo-phosphoric acids and/or their salts, imparts improved physical and chemical qualities including lacing resistance, improved dispersion and decreased chemical reactivity when these treated pigments are incorporated into polymeric matrices.
Abstract:
A food wrapping cloth (1) made of a fabric comprising warps produced by combining and twisting cellulose fiber yarns (3) and twisted yarns (2) produced by combining and twisting antimicrobial yarns (21) formed by vacuum depositing an antimicrobial metal onto a synthetic resin film and cutting the film into a thin elongated shape with cellulose fiber yarns (22) and wefts of cellulose fiber yarns (4).
Abstract:
This invention relates to articles capable of being heated by magnetically coupled radio frequency energy. Bonding by induction heating can be used to seal bags and pouches, seal window panes, bind books, and the like. Induction heating can be used in situations where microwave heating is not suitable, such as, for example, in cases where the materials to be bonded absorb microwave energy, such as polar polymers, wood, or materials containing non-magnetic conductive particles. In these situations, it may be desirable to heat the bond area only and not the material to be bonded. This invention provides a composition comprising: (1) a susceptor of magnetically coupled radio frequency energy comprising a non-magnetic particulate substrate, e.g., an electrically insulative material in particulate form, bearing a thin magnetic coating, e.g., a magnetic inorganic film, and (2) a matrix that is substantially non-reflective of radio frequency energy, e.g., silicone rubber, which matrix can be heated upon the composition's being subjected to magnetically coupled radio frequency energy. It has been discovered that thin magnetic coatings on non-magnetic particles provide energy transfer with induction heaters equal to or better than many commonly used solid susceptor particles. It has also been discovered that the temperature of the composition of this invention can be regulated so as not to exceed a predetermined temperature.
Abstract:
There is herein disclosed a multi-layer structure which can suitably be used to manufacture a container in which sealing properties are improved for the prevention of container breakage during sterilization by heating, cooking by heating, distribution or the like and heat resistance is improved for the prevention of container deterioration and which is excellent in opening properties; and a container having the above-mentioned excellent characteristics which comprises this multi-layer structure. According to the present invention, there are provided a multi-layer structure having two or more layers which comprises a surface layer (a) comprising a thermoplastic resin and having a thickness of 10 to 80 µm and an adjacent layer (b) comprising a thermoplastic resin or a thermoplastic resin containing an inorganic filler, an interlaminar peeling strength between the surface layer (a) and the adjacent layer (b) being in the range of 0.3 to 2.0 kg/15 mm; and a container comprising this multi-layer structure.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device and method for dispersing particles, especially those that are mixed with at least one binding agent, e.g. fibers containing ligno-cellulose and or cellulose, chips or the like, in order to form a nonwoven i.e. in order to produce formed objects in particular, especially boards. The inventive device and method enable chip boards, fiber boards and combined chip and fiber boards to be produced at low cost. The invention also enables different widths of boards to be produced without having to modify the inventive device.
