In embodiments, the present invention relates to a method of producing a multilayered printed item, comprising: (a) providing a coating of curable composition comprising a polymer powder, at least one plasticizer, and at least one monomer and/or oligomer, onto the substrate or a thereon previously applied layer or coating; (b) heating the curable coating composition to a temperature of about 70-120° C., to provide a gelled curable coating; (c) providing a coating of curable composition comprising a polymer powder, at least one plasticizer, and at least one monomer and/or oligomer, onto the previously applied layer or coating; (d) heating the other curable as above, to provide second gelled curable coating; (e) before crosslinking is performed, the multilayer-coated substrate formed is heated to a temperature of about 130-160° C.; and (f) crosslinking the heated multilayer-coated substrate, by irradiation and/or subjection to heat at a temperature of about 165-190° C.
C09D 11/107 - Printing inks based on artificial resins containing macromolecular compounds obtained by reactions only involving carbon-to-carbon unsaturated bonds from unsaturated acids or derivatives thereof
C09D 11/101 - Inks specially adapted for printing processes involving curing by wave energy or particle radiation, e.g. with UV-curing following the printing
C09D 11/0235 - Duplicating inks, e.g. for stencil printing
C09J 133/06 - Homopolymers or copolymers of esters of esters containing only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, the oxygen atom being present only as part of the carboxyl radical
C09J 133/14 - Homopolymers or copolymers of esters of esters containing halogen, nitrogen, sulfur or oxygen atoms in addition to the carboxy oxygen
A composite stencil for applying designs to walls and other surfaces is disclosed. The stencil includes a porous textile support layer to which a flexible stencil mask is bonded by an adhesion layer. The support layer supports unconnected parts of the stencil mask without bridges common with traditional stencils. Further, the textile support layer in the open areas of the stencil can be colored with a sublimation dye to suggest to a user the colors that should be applied in the various areas of the stencil. A pressure sensitive adhesive is applied to the back of the stencil. In use, the stencil is removably adhered to a surface by the pressure sensitive adhesive, whereupon paint or other pigment is applied through the textile support layer to the surface. The lack of bridges permits the entire design to be applied with a single stencil in a single session. The stencil is cleanable and reusable to apply additional designs.
A photosensitive stencil includes a porous stencil carrier that can be a sheet of woven material with crisscrossing filaments. The stencil carrier is coated with a photopolymer emulsion that is water based to form a stencil blank. In use, a light mask is disposed atop the stencil blank. The light mask can be contained on a sheet of paper or a transparent film. Alternatively the stencil blank is fed through an inkjet printer and the light mask is printed directly onto the stencil blank using common inks. The stencil blank is then exposed to light for a few minutes, which cross-links the photopolymer emulsion in unmasked regions. After exposure, the stencil blank is developed by being washed out with water. The water removes emulsion and adhesive, where present, within areas that were masked by the light mask, revealing open or open regions through which ink or paint can be applied.
