Abstract: An intumescent article includes intumescent material including 50-92 wt-% graphite and 8-50 wt-% binder, and may have a free expansion ratio of 100× or greater and a free expansion aspect ratio of 1.0 or less. The intumescent article may be a sheet, and may be L-shaped, rectangle, triangle, or other shape. The intumescent article may have a 3D shape. The intumescent article may be an insert for an electrical box, having a surface area 75% or less of the surface area of the electrical box back wall. The intumescent sheet has a mass, and the ratio of the mass to the volume of the electrical box may be 3 g/100 cm3 or less. A method of making an intumescent article includes mixing from 50-92 wt-% graphite with 8-50 wt-% binder on a dry weight basis to form a mixture, pressing or molding the mixture into a shape and drying the shape.

Abstract: Multilayer stacks that can be used as decorative microsphere articles. The decorative microsphere articles can be a durable and aesthetically pleasing substitute for anodized aluminum and other matte metallic surfaces. The decorative microsphere articles are durable and can have a bright diffused appearance of any desired color, for example white, gold, silver, red, or other colors, while being capable of being manufactured using a roll-to-roll process. The decorative microsphere articles can also provide novel optical effects than can change at different viewing angles, including, for example, changing color with view angle, changing sharpness or clarity of an image or icon with view angle, and the like, that may allow customers to differentiate their products.

Abstract: There is provided an article comprising at least a first surface having a first binder layer selected from at least one of linear resins and resins having low cross link densities, where the first binder layer has a first major surface opposite a second major surface; and a plurality of microspheres at least partially embedded in the first major surface of the first binder layer. For at least a portion of the first major surface, the plurality of micro spheres may cover 30% to 50% of that portion, and the microspheres may be substantially uniformly spaced.
