Composite yarn product and method of preparation

Claim 1

A composite yarn product comprising strands of a composite resinous laminate, said laminate having at least 3 film layers thereof, and consisting essentially of: A. a central substrate comprising a colored non-cellulosic thermoplastic synthetic resinous material having two opposed surfaces; B. an outer thermoplastic film adhered to each of said opposed surfaces; C. an adhesive composition adhering said substrate to the adjacent surfaces of said outer films, said adhesive composition applied to the adjacent surfaces of said outer films prior to the placement of said adjacent surfaces against the respective surfaces of said colored substrate, said adhesive composition consisting essentially of; i. a first component, said first component comprising a resin material selected from copolymers of acrylonitrile and butadiene, and copolymers of butadiene and styrene, in an amount by weight of said adhesive composition of up to about 10%, and at least one organic solvent present in an amount by weight, based on said composition of about 10%; and ii. a second component comprising a vinylchloride-vinylacetate copolymer, present in an amount by weight of from about 5% to about 10%, an epoxy resin present in an amount of about 5% by weight, and a solvent system for said second component present in an amount up to about 75% by weight of said adhesive composition; iii. said first and said second components initially prepared individually, and said second component is dispersed in said first component; and D. wherein the completed yarn product possesses an aggregate thickness of no greater than 2 mil.
