Abstract:
A process is described for producing a decorative material such as a wall covering material by applying a very thin layer of metal to the surface of a textured flexible substrate. The thin metal layer replicates the surface features and texture of the substrate to thereby create interesting visual effects.
Abstract:
An improved window insulating kit of the type including a transparent plastic film and a double-coated pressure-sensitive adhesive tape by which a piece of the plastic film can be mounted and stretched taut across a window casement. Excess plastic film can then be trimmed off by pulling a strong, flexible, low-elongation thread that is incorporated into the tape. The thread can be made of highly oriented polymeric filaments and preferably is from 0.08 to 0.4 mm in diameter so that it can cut cleanly through the plastic film.
