Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a superior method of providing a desired surface effect in a release coating on a porous sheet-like substrate by applying a coating of an electron beam radiation curable composition or material directly to one side of a base coated paper web, pressing the coated side of the substrate against a replicative surface having the desired surface effect, irradiating the coating with electron beam radiation through the substrate to cure the coating at least sufficiently to permanently adhere it to the substrate and to enable it to be removed with the substrate from the replicative surface securely attached to the substrate and with the replicated surface effect in the coating being maintained, the irradiation step taking place after sufficient time has passed to cause the coating to penetrate into the coated paper and to be in continuous intimate contact with the coated paper. Also disclosed is the apparatus for carrying out the method and the resulting product.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
In a method of forming a plastic film or sheet on or against a release sheet, setting the film or sheet, and separating the set film or sheet from the release sheet, the improvement wherein the release sheet comprises a paper web having on at least one side thereof a coating of an electron beam radiation curable composition or material which has been cured by electron beam radiation, the outer surface of the coating having a desired surface effect formed by curing the coating in intimate contact with a replicative surface having the desired surface effect.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
96 words
In a method of forming a plastic film or sheet on or against a release sheet, setting the film or sheet, and separating the set film or sheet from the release sheet, the improvement wherein the release sheet comprises a paper web having on at least one side thereof a coating of an electron beam radiation curable composition or material which has been cured by electron beam radiation, the outer surface of the coating having a desired surface effect formed by curing the coating in intimate contact with a replicative surface having the desired surface effect.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
94 words
In a heat transferable printed design, including a release sheet, a printed design thereon of polyvinyl chloride plastisol ink or offset printing ink and an overcoat of polyvinyl chloride plastisol, the improvement wherein the release sheet comprises a paper web having on at least one side thereof a coating of an electron beam radiation curable composition or material which has been cured by electron beam radiation, the outer surface of the coating having a desired surface effect formed by curing the coating in intimate contact with a replicative surface having the desired surface effect.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
94 words
In a heat transferable printed design, including a release sheet, a printed design thereon of polyvinyl chloride plastisol ink or offset printing ink and an overcoat of polyvinyl chloride plastisol, the improvement wherein the release sheet comprises a paper web having on at least one side thereof a coating of an electron beam radiation curable composition or material which has been cured by electron beam radiation, the outer surface of the coating having a desired surface effect formed by curing the coating in intimate contact with a replicative surface having the desired surface effect.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
84 words
In a pressure sensitive adhesive coated web, including a sheet material with an adhesive coat attached to a release sheet, the improvement wherein the release sheet comprises a paper web having on at least one side thereof a coating of an electron beam radiation curable composition or material which has been cured by electron beam radiation, the outer surface of the coating having a desired surface effect formed by curing the coating in intimate contact with a replicative surface having the desired surface effect.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
84 words
In a pressure sensitive adhesive coated web, including a sheet material with an adhesive coat attached to a release sheet, the improvement wherein the release sheet comprises a paper web having on at least one side thereof a coating of an electron beam radiation curable composition or material which has been cured by electron beam radiation, the outer surface of the coating having a desired surface effect formed by curing the coating in intimate contact with a replicative surface having the desired surface effect.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
97 words
In a method of heat and pressure consolidating decorative plastic laminates, comprising pressing two separate groups of laminae at the same time in back to back configuration with an interleavor placed between the groups, the improvement wherein the interleavor comprises a paper web having on at least one side thereof a coating of an electron beam radiation curable composition or material which has been cured by electron beam radiation, the outer surface of the coating having a desired surface effect formed by curing the coating in intimate contact with a replicative surface having the desired surface effect.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
97 words
In a method of heat and pressure consolidating decorative plastic laminates, comprising pressing two separate groups of laminae at the same time in back to back configuration with an interleavor placed between the groups, the improvement wherein the interleavor comprises a paper web having on at least one side thereof a coating of an electron beam radiation curable composition or material which has been cured by electron beam radiation, the outer surface of the coating having a desired surface effect formed by curing the coating in intimate contact with a replicative surface having the desired surface effect.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
67 words
The improved method of claim 1, wherein the plastic film or sheet formed on or against a release sheet is panel pressed, by which a plurality of laminae impregnated with thermosetting resin are consolidated by simultaneously heating and pressing the laminae, and wherein the surface effect in the electron beam radiation cured coating is a contoured surface existing only in the coating and not in the substrate.
