An absorbent dressing that includes a transparent, elastomeric, body fluid-absorbing composition that is essentially free of hydrocolloidal gel particles. The composition includes the reaction product of:

Absorbent dressing

Radiation curable coating compositions for providing solvent-resistant abhesive coatings comprise polyfluorinated acrylates and methacrylates, polyethylenically unsaturated crosslinking agents and a film-forming organic polymer. The compositions can be used after radiation curing to render substrates oil, soil, and water repellent. The cured compositions have particular use as release coatings in image transfer systems wherein a fused xerographic image is transferred from the release coated surface, to another surface due to the particular characteristics of the coatings. Novel poly(fluorooxyalkylene)urethane acrylate compounds are also disclosed.

Compositions for providing abherent coatings

A method of transferring indicia from a first support base, such as a paper sheet, which is coated with a release agent, to a receiver surface, such as a wall or window. An adhesive surface is pressed against the first support base in order to transfer the indicia from the first support base to the adhesive surface. The adhesive bearing the indicia is then applied to a receiver surface to provide the receiver surface with a protected image. Preferably the indicia is a fused xerographic image and the release agent coated on the first support base is a unique radiation-curable fluorine-containing abherent coating composition.
