Abstract

Abstract A transfer medium comprising a base having a transferable coating composition thereon. The coating composition comprises about 3 to 40 percent by weight of an olefinic polymer; about 3 to 40 percent by weight of a wax; about 15 to 70 percent by weight of a thermoplastic aminotriazine-sulfonamide-aldehyde resin; and about 1 to 45 percent by weight of a sensible material.
