Abstract
Abstract A protective coating is applied to a thermally reactive material layer in laminate manner. The coating includes a fluorocarbon sizing agent which causes beading of any adverse material and prevents penetration thereof into the thermally reactive material. A combined color developing and dye formulation includes bisphenol, wax, clay and dye in a binder of polyvinyl alcohol which effects a spreading of any adverse material on the surface of the coating.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
92 words
A protective coating for use on thermally reactive material, said coating comprising a color developer formulation essentially consisting of about 20-40% bisphenol, about 15-25% amide wax, about 35-45% clay, and about 10-20% polyvinyl alcohol, and a dye formulation essentially consisting of about 85-92% color forming dye, and about 8-15% polyvinyl alcohol, and a cross linking agent of about 10-15% octadecanotao chromic chloride hydroxide incorporated into the polyvinyl alcohol of the combined formulations, said protective coating being applied to said thermally reactive material to prevent penetration of adverse environmental matter into said material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
92 words
A protective coating for use on thermally reactive material, said coating comprising a color developer formulation essentially consisting of about 20-40% bisphenol, about 15-25% amide wax, about 35-45% clay, and about 10-20% polyvinyl alcohol, and a dye formulation essentially consisting of about 85-92% color forming dye, and about 8-15% polyvinyl alcohol, and a cross linking agent of about 10-15% octadecanotao chromic chloride hydroxide incorporated into the polyvinyl alcohol of the combined formulations, said protective coating being applied to said thermally reactive material to prevent penetration of adverse environmental matter into said material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
92 words
A protective coating for use on thermally reactive material, said coating comprising a color developer formulation essentially consisting of about 20-40% bisphenol, about 15-25% amide wax, and about 35-45% clay in a binder of about 10-20% polyvinyl alcohol, and a dye formulation essentially consisting of about 85-92% color forming dye in a binder of about 8-15% polyvinyl alcohol, and a crosslinking agent of about 10-20% of a 30% solution of stearato chromic chloride, said protective coating being applied to said thermally reactive material to prevent intrusion of adverse matter into said material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
92 words
A protective coating for use on thermally reactive material, said coating comprising a color developer formulation essentially consisting of about 20-40% bisphenol, about 15-25% amide wax, and about 35-45% clay in a binder of about 10-20% polyvinyl alcohol, and a dye formulation essentially consisting of about 85-92% color forming dye in a binder of about 8-15% polyvinyl alcohol, and a crosslinking agent of about 10-20% of a 30% solution of stearato chromic chloride, said protective coating being applied to said thermally reactive material to prevent intrusion of adverse matter into said material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
99 words
A protective coating for use on thermosensitive material, said coating comprising a color developer formulation essentially consisting of a bisphenol, a wax and a clay in a binder of polyvinyl alcohol, and a dye formulation essentially consisting of a color forming dye in polyvinyl alcohol and dispersed in the color developer formulation, and a cross linking agent of chromic chloride in about an equal amount as and incorporated into the total polyvinyl alcohol of the combined formulations, said protective coating being adaptable to be applied to said thermosensitive material to prevent penetration of adverse environmental matter into said material.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
99 words
A protective coating for use on thermosensitive material, said coating comprising a color developer formulation essentially consisting of a bisphenol, a wax and a clay in a binder of polyvinyl alcohol, and a dye formulation essentially consisting of a color forming dye in polyvinyl alcohol and dispersed in the color developer formulation, and a cross linking agent of chromic chloride in about an equal amount as and incorporated into the total polyvinyl alcohol of the combined formulations, said protective coating being adaptable to be applied to said thermosensitive material to prevent penetration of adverse environmental matter into said material.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
18 words
The protective coating of claim 3 wherein oxidized starch is substituted for polyvinyl alcohol as a binder material.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
54 words
The protective coating of claim 3 wherein the color developer formulation and the dye formulation are mixed together with the cross linking agent comprising a solution of chrome complex in isopropanol and which solution is incorporated into the formulations in an amount on a 1 to 1 ratio based on the combined polyvinyl alcohol.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
18 words
The protective coating of claim 3 including a sheet for supporting the combined color developer and dye formulations.
