Coating oil compositions are provided which contain an oil-soluble metal petroleum sulfonate, an oxidate ester, an organic acid ester, and a hydrocarbon oil. The coating oils are highly effective for preventing rust and corrosion of both ferrous and non-ferrous metals but are particularly advantageous for application to metal sheet which is subsequently to be electrocoated. Coating oils formulated in accordance with the present invention exhibit improved electrocoat compatibility.

A continuous business sheet or paper-like web carries image transfer means which is supported by a thin plastics film or layer of tough flexible carrier material. The film or layer of carrier material is removably attached to the sheet and may be removed from the sheet before or after use of the transfer material. Thus, when desired, the transfer material is removed from the business sheet by removal of the carrier material and the business sheet is thus freed from the transfer material and from...

The invention is a process for manufacturing a sculptured decorative finish on a textile fabric by applying an aqueous polyurethane latex in a pattern to the fabric and drying the fabric; and the sculptured fabric obtained by the process.

A recording process, wherein an organic reducing compound being present in a supported or self-supporting layer and corresponding to one of the following general formulae (I) and (II): ##EQU1## wherein: R.sub.1 represents hydrogen, an aliphatic group of a cycloaliphatic group, and R.sub.2 represents an aliphatic oxy group, a cycloaliphatic oxy group, an aryloxy group, an amino group of the formula ##EQU2## in which R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 (same or different) represent hydrogen, an aliphatic, a cyclo...

A method for repairing a roof comprising the steps of: spreading a porous conformable membrane over the existing roofing materials, moistening the membrane to cause it to conform to the roofing surface, tacking the membrane through the existing roofing materials and into the roofing substrate, applying a sealing adhesive to the membrane, and covering the membrane with a waterproof roof coating.

A heat-activated process for forming a patch for plastic and leather-like materials employs a protective coating around the patched area to avoid damage due to the heating step. The protective coating cures to form a continuous insulating sheet prior to the heating step and is easily removable at the conclusion of that step.

Surfaces intended to be electrolessly metal plated, for instance the surfaces of through holes on through hole printed circuit boards, are treated with a colloidal catalyst metal-free acid liquid solution of a soluble, lower alkanol-modified noble metal-tin chloride complex until the surface is rendered catalytic. The noble metal of the complex is a noble metal which is catalytic to the deposition of the metal destined to be electrolessly plated on the surface.

A method of transfer recording comprising selectively irradiating a binderless dry film consisting essentially of a dye or pigment capable of absorbing energy and being vaporized without decomposition.

A liquid composition for treatment of fabrics is disclosed as having a silicone glycol copolymer of nonionic series, a phosphate derivative of anionic series, and a compatible liquid base. Other beneficial ingredients may include a detergent, emollient, color, perfume, thickeners, liquid softening agents and soil retardants.

A process for improving the properties of granular detergents, that is, caking preventability, fluidity and particle hardness, which comprises spray-coating a coating agent [I] consisting of the silicates, sulfates, carbonates and hydroxides of alkali metals and a coating agent [II] consisting of polyvalent metal sulfates separately onto a granular detergent obtained by the conventional spray granulating method, tumbling granulating method, piston granulating method, pressure granulating method ...
