Abstract
Abstract Fibrous and non-fibrous substrates are rendered highly opaque by providing the substrate with a coating of discrete, substantially spherical, air-containing microcapsules having substantially continuous organic, polymeric, solid walls, an average particle diameter of below about 2 microns and having pigment particles incorporated in the microcapsular structure.
