Abstract
Abstract There is disclosed a composition and process for applying an inorganic layer to a substrate which comprises dispersing at least one particulate, solid, inorganic substance in at least one thermally thinnable fugitive vehicle, the vehicle being viscous and non-drying at the temperature of substrate application and convertible to a low viscosity liquid on heating to a higher temperature and thermally removable on heating to a still higher temperature.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
A process for applying a layer of at least one particulate, solid, inorganic substance to a substrate, which process comprises: dispersing the inorganic substance in at least one thermally thinnable fugitive vehicle which is viscous and non-drying at the temperature of substrate application and convertible to a low viscosity liquid at a higher temperature and thermally removable at a still higher temperature; applying the vehicle dispersed, particulate, solid, inorganic substance to a substrate at a temperature at which the vehicle is viscous and non-drying; heating the substrate applied vehicle to a higher temperature so as to convert the viscous vehicle to a low viscosity liquid film; allowing the dispersed, solid substance to settle to the lower region of such film; heating the vehicle to a higher temperature so as to thermally remove the vehicle from the substrate; and then heating to bond the particulate, solid, inorganic substance by fusion or sintering to the substrate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
154 words
A process for applying a layer of at least one particulate, solid, inorganic substance to a substrate, which process comprises: dispersing the inorganic substance in at least one thermally thinnable fugitive vehicle which is viscous and non-drying at the temperature of substrate application and convertible to a low viscosity liquid at a higher temperature and thermally removable at a still higher temperature; applying the vehicle dispersed, particulate, solid, inorganic substance to a substrate at a temperature at which the vehicle is viscous and non-drying; heating the substrate applied vehicle to a higher temperature so as to convert the viscous vehicle to a low viscosity liquid film; allowing the dispersed, solid substance to settle to the lower region of such film; heating the vehicle to a higher temperature so as to thermally remove the vehicle from the substrate; and then heating to bond the particulate, solid, inorganic substance by fusion or sintering to the substrate.
