Abstract
Abstract Microwave interactive coating compositions are disclosed which comprise finely divided carbon, a powdered inert solid and a binder. A preferred composition comprises finely divided carbon, finely divided microwave reactive metal, powdered inert material and a dielectric binder, preferably an acrylic latex. These compositions are capable of producing microwave reactive heaters comparable to those produced by vapor deposition of metals on a carrier film.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
A microwave interactive coating composition consisting essentially of finely divided carbon, a finely divided microwave reactive metal selected from the group consisting of aluminum, tin, bronze and nickel, a powdered inert solid material selected from the group consisting of alumina hydrate, silica, titanium oxides, aluminosilicates, clay, and calcium carbonate, and an acrylic latex binder dispersed in an aqueous carrier wherein the weight ratio of metal to carbon in the composition is in the range of from about 0.2 to about 2 parts metal per part carbon, the powdered inert solids comprise 10 to 35 weight percent of the total solids in the composition and the binder solids comprise 30 to 40 weight percent of the total solids.
