US Patent:

52624447, Nov 16, 1993

Filed:

Nov 30, 1992

Appl. No.:

7/985376

Inventors:

George Rusincovitch - Worthington OH
Paul J. Roe - Columbus OH
Richard C. Andrews - Gahanna OH

Assignee:

Borden, Inc. - Columbus OH

International Classification:

C08G 1814

US Classification:

521 505

Abstract:

The invention relates to a breathable, plastic film, useful as a wall covering material. A low boiling additive, such as water, is added to a plastisol before extrusion. During extrusion and curing of the plastisol into a film or coating, the low boiling additive is volatilized and the resulting evolved gas perforates the forming film. In this manner a permeable plastic film, such as vinyl, is produced.

International Classification:

B32B 900

US Classification:

428 40

Abstract:

A sheet material having a decorative surface and a working surface, for application to a support surface is disclosed. A substantial area of the working surface is provided with a tacky, discontinuous layer of pressure sensitive adhesive. A pattern of non-adhesive projections which have a height equal to or greater than the thickness of the adhesive are provided within the discontinuities on the working surface.

International Classification:

B32B 3108
B32B 704

US Classification:

156277

Abstract:

Methods for making a sheet material, such as wall covering, having a decorative (front) surface and a working (back) surface, for application to a support surface are disclosed. One method includes applying a release layer over the decorative surface and printing a pattern over the release layer to cover portions of the release layer. A pressure sensitive adhesive layer is applied to the working surface. Upon rolling the sheet material into a roll, the pattern adheres to the pressure sensitive adhesive layer so that, upon unrolling, the release layer transfers to the pressure sensitive adhesive layer. Another method is disclosed which sequentially combines ink, adhesive and a decorative sheet with a release sheet. Intermediate products, namely the sheet material prior to rolling are also disclosed.

Inventors:

George Rusincovitch - Worthington OH

Assignee:

Borden, Inc. - Columbus OH

International Classification:

B32B 326

US Classification:

428141

Abstract:

Polyvinyl chloride articles are chemically embossed by placing a pattern thereon with a composition of vinyl ink containing silicone oil wherein the quantity of silicone oil is from about 2. 5% to 5% by weight of the composition and then top coating the article with a fluid coating of an aromatic-hydroxyl functional polyester and a multi-isocyanate curing agent which is cured in the presence of a vaporous tertiary amine catalyst to form an adherent film over said substrate and whereby the fluid coating retracts from over the siliconized ink prior to curing to form a concave pattern on the cured film which is in registry with the siliconized ink.
