Abstract
Abstract The method for producing foil paper and foil board with a bright surface, by first metalizing a transfer-carrier, applying a compatible tacky dress to the metalized carrier, pressing the metalized carrier at its tacky surface against a base of paper or board; then separating the carrier from the metalized portion transferred to the base of paper or board, and curing it at an elevated temperature.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
A method for preparing a metalized paper or board product having improved surface brightness consisting essentially of: A. feeding a carrier film; B. applying a lacquer coating to said carrier film capable of adherently bonding to a deposited metal layer and receiving display material; C. vapor depositing a metal layer on said lacquer coating; D. applying a polyurethane tie coating to said metal layer; E. applying a wet adhesive emulsion coating having an acidic pH to the tie coating; F. feeding the carrier of Step E and a base selected from paper and board, into the nip of a pair of pressure rollers, so that said adhesive emulsion coating remains wet as it contacts said base, and penetrates said base after said base and said carrier are brought together between said pressure rollers; and G. separating said carrier from said base.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the coated base of Step G is thereafter heated to dry said adhesive coating.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method of claim 2 wherein said coated base is heated at a temperature of about 250° F., for about one minute.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
11 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said lacquer coating is colored.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said tie coating has an affinity for said adhesive coating.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
18 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said tie coating comprises a polyurethane coating prepared with an aliphatic isocyanate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
28 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said adhesive coating comprises a material selected from vinyl acetate homopolymers, vinyl acetate copolymers, shellac emulsions, polyvinyl alcohol emulsions and acrylic emulsions.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said pH ranges from about 4.5 to about 5.5.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
197 words
A method for producing a foil metalized paper or board product with a bright, shiny surface, consisting of: A. feeding a carrier film; B. applying a protective coat comprising a clear lacquer, to said carrier film, said carrier coat capable of bonding to aluminum and receptive to display material; C. vapor depositing a metal coat on said protective coat; D. applying a polyurethane tie coat to the metal coat; E. applying a wet emulsion coat to the polyurethane tie coat, the wet emulsion coat prepared from a material selected from the group consisting of vinylacetate homopolymers, vinylacetate copolymers, shellac emulsions, polyvinyl alcohol emulsions and acrylic emulsions; F. feeding a base selected from the group consisting of paper and board, and said carrier with said emulsion coat, into the nip of a pair of pressure rollers so that emulsion coat remains wet as it contacts said base, and said emulsion coat penetrates said base after said base and said carrier are brought together between said pressure rollers; and G. separating said carrier from said base, whereby said wet emulsion coat, said tie coat, said metal coat and said protective coat are transferred from said carrier to said base.
