History Channel show features Valley as custom bike-building mecca
PHOENIX — Egos, rivalries and beautiful motorcycles. The History Channel's new show "Biker Battleground Phoenix" takes a look inside the custom bike-building capital of the world — Phoenix.
"The top builders have migrated here because you can ride 12 months out of the year," said Len Edmondson, one of the show's stars. "So if you're going to be in this industry you got to be here."
"Biker Battleground Phoenix" profiles five Valley custom motorcycle builders and their shops.
"You're going to see the industry in general; you're going to see the lifestyles in general; how their shops operate," Edmondson said, "what it takes to compete and what it takes to survive."
Edmondson is one of nation's top bike builders, and he said the show takes an in-depth look at how difficult it is to build custom motorcycles.
"Custom is a performance enhancement. You can't take a domestic product and change it into something exotic … and not add the exotic factor in both the aesthetics and the performance," he said.
"Biker Battleground Phoenix" airs July 1, at 7 p.m. Arizona time.

Outstanding 4.6 /5 from 143 reviews
Enjoyed our stay minus te noise in the background from the local tattoo venue in town but overall a great place to stay and will cont to stay every time we are in town.
Went for the night to go shopping, see a movie, and swimming. It was very relaxing. Great price on the room for all that you got.
Nice hotel
Very nice. The dining are is too small in almost every drury inn this one was very small. Kids bumping and spilling
Good stay except for noise allowed through the ceiling. When the people above me turned on the shower is sounded like Niagra Falls. Woke me up. When theAC unit was on it vibrated so bad the bed shook.

I consider Keane to be musical genuises because of their spectacular first two albums so I decided, "What the heck!" and bought this single with only the knowledge of loving Is It Any Wonder. It turns out this single is perfect. Let It Slide is upbeat and catchy and I love to run and dance to it.It reminds me of the song "Crystal Ball". He Used to Be A Lovely Boy is so..well..lovely! Chaplin really belts out in the chorus and it sounds so beautiful. It's defintely slower than the other two tracks but it's so meaningful. A perfect single for any Keane fan!

'Let it Slide' and 'He Used To Be A Lovely Boy' are amazing songs; If you string these 2 together w/'Maybe I Can Change', 'Thin Air', and 'She Sells Sanctuary', you have yourself a great 5 song EP; It's nice to see a band not just put out something that's mediocre to cash in...The arrangements on this paticular CD are great; 'Boy' is a very somber and Beatles-like song with some nice lyrics and melody; 'Slide' is just upbeat and has the typical unexpected but welcomed vocal lines; Their songs never go where you expect them to, never taking the obvious way out. There's just a little more thought put into their stuff, and these 2 songs are no different.

Membrane cofactor protein (CD46) is a regulator of complement activation that also serves as the entry receptor for human herpes virus 6 (HHV-6) and measles virus (MV) into human cells. While it is clear that oligodendrocytes and astrocytes are cell types commonly infected by these viruses, it is unclear whether oligodendrocytes express CD46, or which are the cellular mechanisms underlying the infection. We show that adult oligodendrocytes, as well as astrocytes and microglial cells, express CD46 on the cellular surface. Moreover, we employed a quantitative fusion assay to demonstrate that HHV-6A infection of T lymphocytes enables cell–cell fusion of these cells to astrocytes or to oligodendroglial cells. This fusion is mediated by the interaction between viral glycoproteins expressed on the membrane of the infected cells and CD46 on the glial targets, and is also observed using cells expressing recombinant MV glycoproteins. These data suggest a mechanism that involves cell–cell fusion by which certain viruses could spread the infection from the periphery to the cells in the nervous system.

Just seems overvalued and risky to me right now.
Sentiment: Sell
Wall street corruption, it might see 100, but this stock is destined for bankruptcy, when owners are taking 150,000,000 out of the company, the little guy eventually holds the bag. Right now they need to keep it going so the mismanagement is not so noticeable.
This stock has doubled since February. I'm just not seeing how this sort of skyrocket move is anywhere close to being warranted.

3,574,659 4/1971 Kwart et al. 161/160 Primary Examiner-William J. Van Balen [5 7] ABSTRACT A chemically embossed vinyl-chloride resin sheet material is prepared by treating certain areas of the gelled surface of a vinyl-chloride plastisol containing a blowing agent with a liquid containing a carboxylated vinyl-chloride resin and a heat-reactive compound, such as an amide reactive with the carboxyl groups of the resin, and heating the treated gelled vinyl-chloride resin sheet material to a temperature sufficient to react the amide with the carboxylated vinyl-chloride resin to cross-link the resin, to decompose the blowing agent and to fuse the vinyl-chloride resin plastisol after expansion, whereby a chemically embossed product is produced due to inhibition of full expansion of the sheet material by the cross-linked carboxylated vinyl-chloride resin in the treated areas.
16 Claims, No Drawings EMBOSSED PLASTIC SURFACE COVERING AND METHOD OF PREPARING SAME REFERENCE TO PRIOR APPLICATIONS tinuation-in-part of Ser. No. 541,100, filed Apr. 8,
1966 (now US. Pat. No. 3,453,171).
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION There are a number of methods of imparting an embossed appearance to a cellular sheet, including both chemically and mechanically embossed techniques. Chemical embossing includes methods for raising or lowering the decomposition temperature of the blowing agent used, and methods for preferentially stiffening prior to expansion certain areas of the expandable resin sheet. v
US. Pat. No. 3,365,353 incorporates a monomer into a vinyl-chloride plastisol which is subsequently formed into a gelled resin sheet. A liquid containing a peroxide catalyst is then applied in a predetermined pattern to one surface of the gelled sheet. The treated sheet is then heated to polymerize the monomer, to decompose the blowing agent and to fuse the cellular plasticized resin, thereby providing a chemically embossed product.
US Pat. Nos. 3,293,094 and 3,293,108 provide a method of chemical embossing by alteration of the decomposition temperature of the chemical blowing agent in the treated areas by the use of certain compounds.
US. Pat. No. 3,453,171 provides a chemically ernbossed product by preventing the full expansion of a gas-expandable resin in certain treated areas by the use of a cross-linking agent for the resin which may be a peroxide or a beam of atomic or subatomic particles.
US. Pat. No. 3,458,337 provides achemically embossed sheet by employing an agent which suppresses the catalytic action of an organozinc catalyst contained in the gas-expandable resin sheet.
US. Pat. No. 3,538,204 obtains a chemically embossed product by applying an acrylic monomer and a peroxide cross-linking agent for the monomer to a gelled surface of a gas-expandable vinyl-chloride resin in a printing ink composition, and, subsequently, heating the material to effect polymerization of the monomer in the treated areas.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION My invention concerns an improved method of preparing chemically embossed cellular sheet products, such as floor tile, and to the products so produced. In particular, my invention relates to a method of preparing a chemically embossed cellular vinyl-chloride resin floor tile by applying to the gelled surface of the gasexpandable vinyl-chloride resin a cross-linkable vinylchloride resin and a heat-reactive product which reacts with the cross-linkable resin, thereby, on heating and cross-linking of the resin, producing a chemically embossed product.
My method comprises: applying to the surface of a gas-expandable thermoplastic resin a polymer containing, for example, interpolymerized or pendant reactive groups in the polymer, and a compound which reacts with the polymer groups to cross-link the polymer; and heating the treated thermoplastic resin to cross-link the polymer through such reaction, thereby providng a chemically embossed product through preventing full expansion of the resin in the treated areas.
In particular, my method comprises: casting a vinylchloride resin plastisol containing a blowing agent into a thin layer; heating the cast plastisol layer to a temperature sufficient to form a gelled layer, but insufficient to decompose the blowing agent; applying to the gelled plastisol surface a liquid containing a cross-linkable vinyl-chloride resin, such as a vinyl-chloride resin containing hydroxyl, carboxyl or amide groups, and a heatreactive amide or other compounds to react with the reactive groups of the resin; permitting the liquid to penetrate the gelled layer to the desired depth; and heating the treated gelled resin layer to a temperature to provide for cross-linking of the resin groups with the heat-reactive compound to harden the treated areas, to decompose the-blowing agent and to fuse the resulting cellular vinyl-chloride resin, thereby providing a cellular product having chemically embossed areas where full expansion of the resin is prevented in thetreated areas. 7
In the method described, typically azodicarbonamide is commonly employed as a blowing agent; however, as will be recognized by those skilled in the art, a variety of blowing or expanding agents, liquid and solid, alone or in combination, may be employed to provide the gas-expandable sheet material. Further, the temperatures employed to obtain a gelled vinyl-chloride resin layer are, for example, about to 160 C; e.g., to- C, while decomposition of the blowing agent and fusion of the vinyl-chloride resin is often accomplished at temperatures ranging from about to 230 C; e.g., to C. My method may be adopted for the production of laminate-type sheet materials, such as cellular floor tiles, wherein a gasexpandable thermoplastic resin layer is cast or laminated onto a supporting sheet material, such as a woven or nonwoven fibrous or nonfibrous scrim or base sheet;
for examp1e,a resin-reinforced asbestos sheet or glass fiber, etc.. Optionally, a transparent wear-resistant thin resin top layer may be applied, either before or after expansion, but preferably, before expansion. My method will be described in particular in connection with the production of a floor tile product; however, it may be usefully employed to produce a variety of chemically embossed cellular products to include wall or upholstery covers, garments, boots, shoes, handbags and other cellular materials in which a chemically embossed design is desired.
The thermoplastic resin suitable for use in my invention includes, but is not limited to, those gasexpandable organic thermoplastic resinous materials, such as those polymers and copolymers of vinyl resins like vinyl-chloride resins to include polyvinyl chloride and copolymers of vinyl chloride with short-chain fatty acids of vinyl esters, such as vinyl acetate or vinylidene chloride, vinylbutyrate and such materials as well as olefinic resins, such as C -C olefinic resins of polypropylene, polyethylene, ethylene-propylene copolymers and terpolymers and other thermoplastic materials.
The thermoplastic resins may be suitably plasticized, such as by the use of ester-type plasticizers like adipates, sebacates, phthalates, etc., and may contain those other additives normally employed, such as metal salt stabilizers, fillers, pigments, dyes, solvents, secondary plasticizers, viscosity-control additives, thickeners, glycols, cell-control agents and the like. The selection of the blowing agent to be employed depends upon the melt viscosity index and other properties of the polymer and the fonnulation, which blowing agents and their selections are well known.
The reactive polymers useful in my method may be selected to be compatible or imcompatible with the thermoplastic resin surface to be treated. Often, it is preferred that a similar polymer be employed for the purposes of compatability, such as, for example, employing a carboxylated vinyl-chloride resin as the reactive polymer with a gelled vinyl-chloride resin, while the employment of incompatible polymers may be used where distinct design effects are desired. The amount and type of reactive polymer and the heat-reactive polymer to cross-link the reactive groups of the polymers may be varied as desired. Depending upon the degree of chemical embossing desired; that is, upon the degree of hardness or stiffness in the treated areas, the reactive polymer may be fully or partially cross-linked, such as, for example, by varying the amount and nature of the heat-reactive cross-linking material.
The reactive polymer and the heat-reactive compound are typically applied to the treated area as a part of a liquid, either in a plastisol, organosol, or in a solvent solution, or in such form as to permit the liquid or polymer and reactive compound to penetrate into the gas-expandable thermoplastic resin. Often, both the reactive polymer and heat-reactive compound are incorporated into a printing ink composition so that the surface of the gas-expandable resin sheet material may be printed with the desired design effect, and treated in the same step. Such printing-ink composition may contain solvents, such as volatile organic solvents, as well as diluents, pigments, dyes, stabilizers, plasticizers and other additives. Organic solvent or plasticizer liquid compositions are preferred in order to permit rapid penetration of the gas-expandable resin sheet material in the treated areas. Typical organic solvents which may be employed would include, but not be limited to: hydrocarbon, such as tetrahydrofurane, benzene, xylene, toluene, cyclohexanone, heptane, as well as ketones, aldehydes, esters and alcohols, such as acetone, methylethyl ketone, ethanol, isopropanol, methyl isobutyl ketone, and other such volatile solvents commonly employed in solvent-printing inks, as well as liquid plasticizers. Variation in the degree of penetration of the liquid composition may be accomplished by varying the type and amount of solvent or liquid employed, as well as the time of penetration. in a production process, a more powerful solvent and penetration action is often desired in order to reduce the time of penetration, say, for example, from 1 to minutes, while if time permits aging of the gas-expandable sheet after treatment in certain instances, 30 minutes to 12 hours often provides deeper embossing effects.
In the preferred method of treating the gasexpandable thermoplastic resin surface, both the reactive polymer and the heat-reactive compound are applied to the surface in the same liquid composition. However, the reactive polymer may be included in the gas-expandable thermoplastic resin sheet material, and for example, may comprise all or part of such sheet material, or the heat-reactive compound likewise be incorporated, say, as an additive to the gas-expandable thermoplastic resin sheet material. However, these nonpreferred techniques are wasteful of the more expensive reactive polymer and heat-reactive material.
ln my method, the reactive polymer and the reactive material should not react at room temperature or a temperature at which the material or the compositions may be stored, but should be reactive at above, for example, 50 C, or even C, in order to prevent premature cross-linking of the polymer. Typically, reaction should occur below, at or simultaneously with the gas-expansion of the resin sheet material treated. it is preferred that the reaction occur prior to any substantial gas-expansion of the treated sheet material. For example, with a vinyl-chloride resin sheet material containing azodicarbonamide as the blowing agent, the cross-linking reaction should occur below 140 C, typically from 90 to C.
The reactive polymers employed in the practice of my invention are well known, and may be those polymers which contain reactive groups (e.g., interpolymerized or pendant) capable of reacting with a heatreactive compound to cross-link the polymer, and to provide for an increase in molecular weight and/or melt viscosity of the resulting cross-linked polymer. My reactive polymers do not include monomers which are subject to polymerization through the use of peroxide cross-linking agents, and the polymerization reaction of the monomers through their unsaturated linkages or in block fashion, through the use of heat-reactive compounds which induce cross-linking between reactive groups of the respective polymers and the cross-linking compound. Typical polymer-functional groups which serve as reactive groups would include, but not be limited to, hydroxyl, carboxyl, sulfonyl and amide groups. The employment of a cross-linked reactive polymer provides for improved chemical embossing with lower amounts of polymers over the use of monomers which are polymerized through peroxide-type catalysts, since cross-linking of polymers provides for a more rapid increase in molecular weight and melt viscosity in the treated areas than the polymerization of monomers, particularly where the monomers are of low molecular weight and applied in small amounts.
Some examples of reactive polymers containing a hydroxyl functional group would include: copolymers of hydroxyalkylmethacrylate, such as ethyl and propyl hydroxymethacrylate, and methylol acrylamides, such as N-methylol acrylamide; alkyl resins, polymerized epoxides; polyvinyl alcohol and alkylated polyvinyl alcohol; acrylated cellulose derivatives and the like. Typical examples of reactive polymers containing a carboxyl reactive group would include: copolymers of acrylic or methacrylic acid; alkyl resins; carboxylated cellulose derivatives; and carboxylated vinyl halide resins. The carboxyl groups may be present in a free-acid form or also may be present as an amine, ammonium or other salt form wherein free carboxyl is regenerated when the salt is heated. Typical examples of amide groups in reactive polymers would include: copolymers of acrylamide or methacrylamide; reactive polymers composed of acrylic, vinyl halide or copolymerized acrylic vinyl halide monomers, such as hydroxyalkylmethacrylatevinyl chloride, acrylamide or methacrylamide-vinyl chloride, and/or copolymers of acrylic or methacrylic acids with vinyl halides. Reactive vinyl halide resins are the preferred reactive polymers for employment in my invention.
Typical reactive vinyl-halide resins include the homo and copolymer resins, such as vinyl chloride and copolymers with short-chain unsaturated fatty acids like vinyl acetate, as well as polyvinyl chloride. Carboxylated vinyl-halide resins may be prepared by interpolymerizing with or reacting the monomer in the presence of or blending with an unsaturated sulfonic or carboxylic acid. Typical acids which may be employed would include short-chain unsaturated carboxylic acids, such as alpha-beta C C unsaturated aliphatic mono or di carboxylic acids, like acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, and their salts, including the amine and ammonium salts and anhydrides where applicable. A reactive polymer, for example, vinyl-chloride resin, may contain from about 0.5 to 25 parts per hundred parts of the resin (phr) of the reactive groups; e. g., the unsaturated carboxylic acid; for example, from 1 to 10 parts. The carboxylic acids employed may include the higher molecular disperson-type resins so that the particles may be dispersed in a plasticizer or in a combination of primary and secondary plasticizers in a plastisol or in an organosol. e
The preferred reactive vinyl-halide resins of my invention include the carboxylated vinyl-chloride resins or the amine or ammonium salts of such resins. Reactive polymers containing hydroxyl, carboxylic and amide-reactive groups may be reacted with a heatreactive cross-linking compound, such as an amide; for example, with a heat-reactive compound, such as a melamine resin, like a butylated melamineformaldehyde resin or hexamethoxymethylmelamine. An acid catalyst is usually required for the reaction of the hydroxyl and amide groups, while typically the carboxylic groups of the carboxylated resins are sufficiently acidic to provide self-catalysis; although, of course, additional acid catalyst may be used to further accelerate the cross-linking where desired.
A variety of heat-reactive compounds to cross-link the reactive polymers may be employed in connection I with my method, which, heat-reactive compounds are well known. Such heat-reactive compounds would include, but not belimited to: amino resins, such as melamine-formaldehyde and urea-formaldehyde resins, phenol-formaldehyde resins, as well as epoxy compounds and polyisocyanates, such as diisocyanate and isocyanate amides. Specific amide compounds would include hexarnethoxymethylmelamine, dicyandiamide, butylated melamine-formaldehyde resins and similar compounds. These latter amide compounds react while at elevated temperatures while maintaining good storage stability in the presence of the reactive polymer at room temperature. More particularly, carboxylated vinyl-chloride resins may be cross-linked with ureaformaldehyde esters, diepoxides, trimethylolphenol, tris 1-2 methylazirdinylphosphazene oxide, and so forth, while hydroxylated vinyl-chloride resins may be cross-linked with urea-formaldehyde esters, toluene diisocyanate and the like.
The amounts of heat-reactive cross-linking compounds to be employed depend upon the number of reactivegroups and the degree of cross-linking desired, but typically, may range from about 0.1 to parts per hundred parts of the reactive resin; for example, 0.5 to 5.0 parts. The degree of cross-linking should be balanced between the desired melt resistance and thermoplasticity required. All of the cross-linking of the reactive polymer need not occur prior to the decomposition of the blowing agent, and, in fact, often residual crosslinking effects will occur on heating to the fusing temperature and on aging at a higher temperature. Where a reactive compound, such as a carboxylated vinylchloride resin, is employed in a liquid composition, such as a printing ink, amounts of the high molecular weight disperson reactive resin often range from 10 to 50% by weight of the composition.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS For the purposes of illustration only, my method will be described in connection with the chemical embossing of a vinyl-chloride resin sheet material.
EXAMPLE 1 The gas-expandable thermoplastic resin formulation and the transparent formulation employed are as follows:
Base Coat Formulation A solvent-type printing ink composition containing a mixture of a vinyl-chloride resin and a carboxylated modified vinyl-chloride resin is employed in a liquid formulation as follows:
1. Vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate (940%) copolyrner dispersion low fusion resin "2. Disperson grade carboxyl modified dispersion resin; e.g., vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer resin containing reactive unsaturated carboxylic acid groups (GEON X30 X 17 a Trademark of B.F. Goodrich Chemical Company) 3. Plasticizer primary cresyldiphenyl phosphate 4. Plasticizer secondary epoxidized soybean oil 5. Pigment Antimony Trioxide (71.4% in dioctyl phthalate Y 6 6. Stabilizer Barium-cadmium fatty acid soap 6 7. Cross-linking carboxylic reactive compound Dicyandiamide (67.5% pulverized grade dispersion in dioctyl phthalate) l0 8. Methylethyl ketone 20 9. Dioxane 25 i0. Pigment and filler as required 0.5 to I00 Average carboxyl content 1.67 grams per 100 grams of resin The base coat plastisol is cast into a supporting sheet material, such as resin-reinforced asbestos sheet material or a glass fiber scrimmaterial, in a thin wet film layer of about 10 to 50 mils, and then heated to a temperature sufficient to gel the plastisol without decomposition of the blowing agent; for example, 100 to 135 C for 3 to 15 minutes. The above printing ink composition is then applied in a predetermined pattern, such as by the employment of a design-embossed or engraved printing roll, to the top surface of the gelled base plastisol. The liquid is allowed to penetrate into the gelled surface for approximately 1 to 5 minutes. The treated sheet is then heated to a temperature of 120 to 140 C for l to 15 minutes to effect the cross-linking of the carboxylated resin with the amide in the treated areas. The top coat plastisol is then cast in a thin wet layer from about 1 to mils onto the treated gelled surface. The top coat formulation represents on fusing a transparent wear-resistant layer. If desired, the top coat formulation may be cast after treating the surface and the cross-linking of the carboxylated resin and gelling and fusing of the top coat cariied out in one step. The sheet material is then heated in a hot-air oven which may contain infrared heaters to a temperature of 170 to 200 C for 3 to minutes. On such heating, the carboxylated resinmay be further cross-linked, the blowing agent is decomposed, expanding the base plastisol to a cellular layer, and providing for the fusion of the cellular layer so formed. Due to the cross-linking of the carboxylated resin in the treated areas, this area resists full expansion; that is, represents the depressed areas of the sheet, which results in a chemically embossed floor tile product.
EXAMPLE 2 The foregoing example for preparing a chemically embossed floor tile is repeated, except that the following plastisol liquid printing ink composition is employed in place of the composition of Example 1:
1. Vinyl chloride maleic ester copolymer resin (PLlOVlC MC-85 a Trademark of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co.) 75.00 2. Plasticizer cresyldiphenyl phosphate 25.00 3. Plasticizer chlorinated paraffin (43-45% chlorine) 15.00 4. Plasticizer Dioctyl phthalate 26.7 5. Stabilizer Barium-cadmium organic acid salt 1.67 6. Pigment Antimony trioxide 3.00 7. Hexamethoxymethylmelamine (Cymel 301 American Cyanamide Company) 3.00
EXAMPLE 3 Example 1 is repeated employing in place of the carboxylated vinyl resins of Examples 1 and 2 a carboxylated vinyl-chloride resin composed of 83% vinyl chloride, 16% vinyl acetate and about 1% maleic acid (VMCC Union Carbide Corporation). The heatreactive compound employed is a butylated melamineformaldehyde resin in an amount of about 3 parts per hundred parts of the reactive resin.
EXAMPLE 4 EXAMPLE 5 Example 1 is repeated employing as the reactive resin an epoxy resin produced by the reaction of bisphenol A and epichlorhydrin. A heat-reactive compound is used in the presence of an acid catalyst employing a formulation such as the following:
Epon 1007 resin (an epoxy resin which is a product of Shell Chemical Company) Ethylene glycol ethylether acetate Silicone resin (cell control agent) Catalyst 1010 (an acid catalyst of American Cyanamidc Company) Methyl-isobutyl ketones Toluene Pigment titanium dioxide 2 Cymel 301 hexamethoxymethylmelamine Toluene l EXAMPLE 6 Example 1 is repeated employing a hydroxyl reactive acrylic resin employing a paratoluene sulfonic acid as an acid catalyst and butylated benzoguanamine as the heat-reactive compound or a butylated melamineformaldehyde resin.
EXAMPLE 7 Example 1 is repeated employing as the reactive polymer a solvent-soluble acrylic copolymer or tripolymer comprising methacrylate, ethyl acrylate and an acrylic acid with a hexamethoxymethylmelamine as the heat-reactive compound.
EXAMPLE 8 A carboxylic acrylic resin is employed as the reactive compound, which resin comprises a copolymer of an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid and the alkyl esters of such acid, such as, for example, acrylic acid and butyl acrylate, which reactive polymer is cross-linked employing a small amount of paratoluene sulfonic acid as an acid catalyst, and hexamethoxymethylmelamine as the heat-reactive compound.
EXAMPLE 9 A reactive polymer is employed in the liquid-carrier formulation which comprises an alkyl resin which is produced from a combination of phthalic anhydiide or trimellitic anhydride, adipic and various polyols with fatty acids as an optional feature. These reactive alkyl resins may be cross-linked by hexamethoxymethylmelamine.
EXAMPLE 10 Example 1 is repeated employing polyvinyl esters and acetyls; for example, partially hydrolized polyvinyl acetate, in the presence of low concentration of hydrochloric or sulfuric acid with hexamethoxymethylmelamine employed as the heat-reactive compound provides a cross-linked vinyl acetate.
EXAMPLE 1 1 Vinyl acetate-chloride copolymers, such as, for example, vinyl DHEH (a product of Union Carbide Corporation) and 50% dialkyl phthalate as the plasticizer may be employed as a liquid-carrier composition to treat certain areas in the presence of l phr of acid catalyst 1010 and about 5 parts of Cymel 301, which composition when heated for to 20 minutes at 375 F cross-links the resin.
EXAMPLE 12 The chemically embossing technique of Example 1 is repeated, except that the carboxylated vinyl-chloride resin is employed in an amount of from about 10 to 35% in the base formula plastisol, and no carboxylated resin is employed in the liquid-carrier composition, although the liquid-carrier composition comprises the heat-reactive compound, thereby producing a chemically embossed product in the treated areas, while the carboxylated vinyl-chloride resin in the untreated areas remains unchanged.
My invention has been described employing various illustrative reactive polymers and heat-reactive compounds to cross-link the polymers; however, it is apparent to a person skilled in the art that various modifications, additions and changes to such formulations and techniques may be made, all within the spirit of the scope of my invention.

55 reviews | 3.6 out of 5
I received two tops and two bottoms of the George collection. One top came in sewn incorrectly and Walmart was very quick to send me a new one and give me credit on the one I returned to the store. The colors were as described the fit was excellent and the quality of the material, especially considering the cost, was excellent. I would recommend this product to anyone. I purchase a great many items from Walmart and they stand behind their products in quality and service.
Not a great suit for a large breast, but great for the price.
you can spend more on a swimsuit, but why?! this is a great suit for a great value
when I ordered the first time I ordered a large and surprisingly it was too small. I had no problems at all with the return. I went back online and ordered the extra large which actually fix my breast but however the rest of it is very large. It's a great top but is obviously only intended for larger women not just women with larger breast. But I payed $20 for the entire set which is great so I will make it work.
It's hard to buy a bathing suit without trying them on first, (unless you are blessed with a perect body), but I was very pleased when it arrived. The padded cups were enhancing not overestimated for the size medium that I am. Also not strangely shaped pads that get messed up after washing. The bodice also lays nicely, not too snug to make rolls where they shouldn't be but snug enough to firm up some slight imperfections...and the price was acceptable to risk buying this sight unseen.
This is not a good product for larger chested women. The cut on the sides do not offer enough support.
Great tankini, good quality, and true to size. Only thing is there is a little less coverage on the sides so if you are big chested be aware that you might come out a little. I bought a medium and am a 36C and it covers just enough not to bother me.
i ordered this in black and it was sent out immediately. the size was exactly how i hoped it would fit with out the hassle of going into the store.
I bought this in an XL does not fit right especially in the cups
I was very disappointed...I wear a size medium, but this would have fit a 5 year old, it was so small. Guess that's why it was so cheap.
A problem with buying on line and not being able to try it on first.
Beautiful and comfortable! This tankini style halter swim top may be one of the best swim suits I've ever owned. Not the best if you have large breast, but you can tie and adjust the top as you please.
cute swim top, low price
I went to WalMart to try on another tankini top to get an idea of fit. The medium I tried on was a bit tight so I ordered this in a large. I am a size 8-10 top, and we all know you should size up in bathing suits. Received yesterday. Was happy with the style...until I tried it on. There is absolutely NO SUPPORT in the bust. The cups are padded and are a very low V, but there is no support band under the bustline. Tightening the halter tie only raises the padded cups (unfortunately not what they should be holding!). I gave it 2 starts for the price and the overall style, but I honestly don't think this would have fit any different if I purchased it in a medium. So back it goes...
I bought this for a friend who has bathing suit bottoms with a few colors but nothing to match. I tried to choose a color based on my memory of what the bottoms looked like, and this blue is so rich and almost a cobalt blue, and it matches the bottoms perfectly. The fit is great and it looked terrific on my friend. The top is so beautiful, it reminds me of the top to a fancy halter evening gown, the way it lays and the jewelry attached to it. It was on sale and was so inexpensive, I just had to buy it.
I should have just bought it in store so I can really see how it looked like and fit it there as well. I bought this online and accidentally threw away my receipt so now I can't return it anymore. But the Tankini is pretty and the quality is really good for its price. The style and design on the bottom chest looks stylish as well. I wear Medium shirts but for this one I think I am in size Small.
After reading the reviews that said this top wasn't for those with a large top I was confident that I would be ok, but the top still fits a awkwardly. I think if it didn't have the padding in the bra it would have fit better. I do like the top though and I don't have a problem wearing it, I just wish it fit a little more snug around the breast. The rest of it however, is prefect.
the sizing was pretty good and suit lookes nice. but it does not cover well, i am a small B cup so when i read other reviews that said it did not work for large breasts i wasn't at all concerned. but there just isn't much material there to cover the outter side of the breasts. Although it does help if you tie it extra tight, but its not very comfortable.
Got the black top. I usually buy Victoria's Secret Bikinis but I had to buy a tummy covering bikini top due to a recent surgery. This was fab. Great in the water. Great coverage and did not stretch out! Material and quality were better than expected! I am very pleased. Sizing was very good.
The actual product didn't look as good as the picture and I felt that it wouldn't last long as the fabric wasn't good quality. I returned the tankini top to the store and only kept the OP boy shorts that I had orderd at the same time and found another tankini to wear with them.
Top was nice, but I didn't like how it made my breasts look, they even won;t let me write it on here so you know it's bad. I also didn't care for the extra fabric under neath, maybe if I went with a smaller size it would look better, but I am not even going to bother.
