Abstract
Abstract A method for producing flaky materials useful for improving, for example, a spreadability and luster of cosmetics and paints or improving mechanical characteristics of plastics, which comprises coating the liquid sol of metallic compounds onto a smooth surface to form a coated film; solidifying the said film into gel by means of heating, pH control, hydrolysis or vaporization-removal of a part of the dispersion medium; shrinking the volume of the said film by further vaporization-removal of the dispersion medium from the film; and then scraping off the flaky material from the smooth surface.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
120 words
A method for producing flaky materials which comprises coating a smooth surface with an aqueous liquid sol of compounds, in a dispersion medium wherein said compounds are selected from the group consisting of oxides and hydroxides of one or more metals having a valence of 2 or more and belonging to Group IIIa, IVa and IVb of the Periodic Table and silica to form a coated film; solidifying the film into gel by means of removal of the dispersion medium by vaporization or by means of adjusting the pH; shrinking the volume of the said gel by further vaporization of the dispersion medium from the gel to produce flaky material; and then scraping the flaky material off the smooth surface.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
120 words
A method for producing flaky materials which comprises coating a smooth surface with an aqueous liquid sol of compounds, in a dispersion medium wherein said compounds are selected from the group consisting of oxides and hydroxides of one or more metals having a valence of 2 or more and belonging to Group IIIa, IVa and IVb of the Periodic Table and silica to form a coated film; solidifying the film into gel by means of removal of the dispersion medium by vaporization or by means of adjusting the pH; shrinking the volume of the said gel by further vaporization of the dispersion medium from the gel to produce flaky material; and then scraping the flaky material off the smooth surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
A method for producing flaky materials according to claim 1, wherein the metal of said oxides and hydroxides of metal is one or more metals selected from the group consisting of aluminum, titanium and zirconium.
