The uneven surfaces of wood-based materials such as chipboard may be improved by applying a formable coating material, smoothing and/or modelling the coating material to achieve a smoother surface, and heating the coating material to form closed pores while maintaining the smoothed surface intact. Decorative and flexible layers may also be applied to such surfaces in this manner

Surface improving process

A process and apparatus for edge coating a substrate is provided. A process provides a layer of a formable coating material on a transfer belt which layer of formable material has a variable thickness over the width of the layer, applying a layer of the formable coating material on the transfer belt to the edge surface to produce a coated edge surface and smoothing the coated edge surface by contact with a smoothing belt. The coating on the edge surface is sufficiently thick to cover and smooth irregularities in the edge surface of the substrate. The coated edge surface can be further treated by the usual methods for coating edge surfaces of flat substrates. The apparatus comprises the roller or nozzle to provide the layer of formable material of variable thickness on the transfer belt, the transfer belt carries the coating material to the edge surface and the transfer belt can act as a smoothing belt to provide an edge surface with the coating material with all of the irregularities obscured.

Process and apparatus for treating surfaces

This invention relates to aqueous adhesive solutions. More particularly, this invention relates to an aqueous adhesive composition for mechanical labeling based upon starch derivatives and having a content of flow-regulating additives and, optionally, other customary additives, which comprises:

Aqueous adhesive composition useful for labeling bottles

A process for the production of laminated films employing a two component non-solvent adhesive system, which comprises the steps of applying a thin film of at least one polyether having at least two terminal isocyanate groups and a molecular weight between 2000 and 5000 to one of two films to be bonded together, applying a thin film of at least one long chain compound having at least two reactive terminal amino groups to the other film to be bonded, the application of both thin films being in such amounts that the molar ratio of isocyanate groups to amine groups is from 1:1 to 5:1 and the two components together being present in an amount of 0.5 to 5.0 gm/m.sup.2, pressing the coated sides of the two coated films together and recovering said laminated films.
