Abstract

Abstract Erasable diazotype second originals on a translucent base have become very popular because they permit correcting, deletions and additions of new information to drawings without the need to redo an entire drawing. A new barrier film composition that acts simultaneously as matrix for the diazotype coating components and controls the ease of mechanical erasure is disclosed. The second originals exhibit almost film like reprographic continuity.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 91 words
An erasable diazotype reproduction material, which comprises; a base sheet having affixed to at least one surface thereof a coating which consists essentially of a mixture of polyvinylacetate resin and a compound selected from the group consisting of oxidized polyethylene, and a paraffin wax; said coating having a lower zone in contact with and bonded directly to the base sheet and an upper zone distal to the base sheet; said upper zone having dispersed therein diazotype components comprising a light-sensitive diazonium compound, an azo coupling compound and a pH stabilizing acid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 91 words
An erasable diazotype reproduction material, which comprises; a base sheet having affixed to at least one surface thereof a coating which consists essentially of a mixture of polyvinylacetate resin and a compound selected from the group consisting of oxidized polyethylene, and a paraffin wax; said coating having a lower zone in contact with and bonded directly to the base sheet and an upper zone distal to the base sheet; said upper zone having dispersed therein diazotype components comprising a light-sensitive diazonium compound, an azo coupling compound and a pH stabilizing acid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 14 words
The erasable diazotype reproduction material of claim 1 wherein said base sheet is paper.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 17 words
The erasable diazotype reproduction material of claim 1 wherein said base sheet is a transparentized base sheet.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 10 words
A material of claim 1 which comprises pretransparentized paper base.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 27 words
A material of claim 1 which comprises a natural transparent paper base as obtained through extensive beating and refining of cellulose furnish prior to the sheet formation.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 69 words
A stratified erasable diazotype material which, comprises; a natural base paper transparentized with an aqueous paraffin wax dispersion and coated with a layer consisting essentially of a polyvinyl acetate resin intermingled with a compound selected from the group consisting of an oxidized polyethylene resin or paraffin wax and having imbedded in it diazotype components consisting of a light-sensitive aromatic diazo compound, a stabilizing acid and an azo coupling compound.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 69 words
A stratified erasable diazotype material which, comprises; a natural base paper transparentized with an aqueous paraffin wax dispersion and coated with a layer consisting essentially of a polyvinyl acetate resin intermingled with a compound selected from the group consisting of an oxidized polyethylene resin or paraffin wax and having imbedded in it diazotype components consisting of a light-sensitive aromatic diazo compound, a stabilizing acid and an azo coupling compound.
