Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
61 words
A skivable billet of alternating layers of low and relatively high optical density, said layers being relatively similar in absorptive properties toward infrared radiation, said layers of low optical density being essentially cellulose acetate butyrate and said layers of relatively higher optical density being a composition comprised of composite self-cross-linking anionic acrylates, finely divided silica and water soluble polyazo direct dye.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
61 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
A skivable billet according to claim 1 wherein the water soluble polyazo direct dye is Formanil Black G.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
A skived film about 0.15 to 0.25 mm thick formed by skiving a billet according to claim 1 with surface heating.
