The present invention relates to a coating for elastomeric linear profiles, where the coating comprises solid lubricant embedded into a polymeric matrix. It also relates to a wiper blade for windscreen wipers, comprising this type of coating, and also to a process for the production of an elastomeric linear profile coated according to the invention. The polymeric matrix with embedded solid lubricant is obtained by polymerizing, in the absence of polymeric binders, a mixture comprising the solid lubricant and low-molecular-weight crosslinking agent. In one embodiment, the matrix is obtained from the thermal polymerization of the low-molecular-weight crosslinking agent hexamethoxymethylmelamine. Examples of solid lubricants are graphite and HDPE.

The present invention provides a heat mode recording material comprising on a transparent support a recording layer containing a light to heat converting substance, an image forming substance and a binder characterised in that there is present a heat decomposable intermediate layer between said transparent support and said recording layer and said heat decomposable intermediate layer being contiguous to said recording layer. High density images practically free of fog are obtained. The images are suitable for use as masks in contact exposures of lithographic printing plate precursors.

Heat mode recording material

The present invention provides a heat mode recording material comprising on the same side of a non-conductive support a conductive recording layer and an elastomeric image forming layer being non-conductive characterised in that a peelable polymeric film is provided as an outermost layer on the side of said support containing said elastomeric image forming layer.

Heat mode recording material for making images or driographic printing

According to the present invention a method is provided for obtaining an image comprising the steps of: information-wise exposing an imaging element comprising on a support a photosensitive layer containing a photopolymerizable composition and a base layer located between said support and said photosensitive layer and wherein said base layer is contiguous to said photosensitive layer and comprises a polymer containing polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated groups and transferring upon heating the non-hardened or insufficiently hardened parts of said photosensitive layer to an image receiving material. When the image receiving material contains a hydrophilic surface a lithographic printing plate can be obtained.
