Abstract
Abstract Highly abrasion-resistant transfer coatings are provided on a wide variety of substrates, thermoplastic or thermosetting, by transfer coating from a mold surface or a flexible web, such as by use of a heat transfer tape, an ultra-thin coating consisting essentially of a non-resinous binder material such as microcrystalline cellulose together with mineral abrasive particles, preferably alumina or a mixture of silica and alumina which have been heated together at a temperature of at least 140 DEG F., the ultra-thin coating also preferably containing a silane and a small quantity of a sticking agent such as a thermoplastic or thermosetting resin.
