Appeal No. 1997-2070
Application 08/487,921
presently claimed invention is said to meet the needs of
providing the proper “adhesion balance” between the radiation
system recording layer and the coversheet.
Appealed claim 9 is representative and is reproduced
below:
9. A tonable, radiation sensitive recording material
comprising:
a) a support;
b) a tonable, radiation sensitive layer which
adheres to the support; and
c) a coversheet which adheres to the tonable,
radiation-sensitive layer and wherein the
support has greater adhesion to the tonable,
radiation- sensitive layer than the cover layer;
wherein said tonable, radiation sensitive layer further
comprises i) at least one compound which after exposure to
actinic radiation causes a change in the tackiness of the
composition; ii) a photoinitiator; iii) a polymeric binder;
and iv) a polydiorganosiloxane with polar and/or ethylenic
unsaturated groups wherein said polydiorganosiloxane at least
partially controls the adhesion balance of the tonable,
radiation sensitive layer to the support and the coversheet
and is present in 0.05 to 0.7% by weight relative to the
weight of the tonable, radiation sensitive layer and excluding
polydimethylsiloxane [sic, polydiorganosiloxane].
