A laminating machine is disclosed for use in laminating upper and lower heat activatible films on an object. Preferably a packet is employed having upper and lower film leaves within which the object is placed. The packet is received in the laminating machine which has a heating and compression zone formed of upper and lower heater assemblies followed by drive rollers. The heater assemblies are movable towards one another and both heat and compress the film packet as it moves through the machine...

The inclusion of one or more wrinkle reducing ingredients in a laundry detergent product is described. The benefits are delivered to the laundered item during the cleaning step and, therefore, reduces the need for further wrinkle reducing steps when the items are taken from the dryer or after hang drying.

An epoxy coating powder applied in a fusion coating process that yields a low gloss, wrinkled finish. The coating composition is a heat reactive epoxy resin in which the wrinkled finish results from the use of methylene disalicylic acid as the curing agent for the epoxy resin.

Powdered coating compositions and methods for obtaining improved wrinkled finishes with epoxy powder coatings are provided which utilize curing agents other than commercially available methylenedisalicylic acid.

An apparatus for testing wrinkle resistance of a material, the apparatus including a base for receiving the material, the base coupled to a frame, at least one clamp for holding the material, the at least one clamp disposed upon the frame and movably fixed to an edge of the base and a loading mechanism for applying a desired load quantity on the material on the base. A method for testing wrinkle resistance of material, the method including providing a material on a base, the base coupled to a fr...

The present disclosure relates to durable wrinkle reduction products that have improved softness. In a preferred embodiment, silicone containing compounds are incorporated into the cross-linked matrix of cellulosic fibers.

A thin sheet having a low rigidity is drawn while being depressed over the radiused corner of a die by elastic force or hydrostatic force to obtain a formed article whose sidewall part and flange part have no wrinkles. The force is applied through an elastic rubber provided around the punch and having an outside diameter larger than the inside diameter of the die cavity, or through an annular rigid body on which elastic pressure or fluid pressure is exerted. The hardness of the rubber is prefera...
