US Classification:

428195, 428199, 428203, 428207, 4284231

Abstract:

The present invention is a system for hiding and later revealing a hidden layer. The system includes a substrate and applicator. As the user moves the applicator around the substrate, a coating is rendered transparent to reveal a hidden layer under the pattern of the user's movement of the applicator. The system comprises a substrate at least partially coated with a generally opaque coating that reacts with an eradicator fluid. A preferred coating as applied to the substrate comprises 20-80 wt % water, 0-3 wt % defoamer, 0-3 wt % surfactant, 0-5 wt % wetting agent, 1-25 wt % colorant, 1-60 wt % resin, and 0-4 wt % preservatives. A preferred reducing fluid in such case comprises 30-95 wt % water, 1-5 wt % pH adjuster, 5-15 wt % reducing agent, 0-5 wt % surfactant, and 2-10 wt % buffer.

International Classification:

C08K 5/05

US Classification:

524388, 524386

Abstract:

A colored bubble composition for producing colored bubbles having water, at least one humectant, at least one water soluble polymer, and at least one colorant. The colored bubble composition may be obtained by mixing water, at least one humectant, and at least one water soluble polymer to form a mixture, wherein the mixture does not comprise a colorant. Subsequently, at least one colorant is added to the mixture. In particular, a mixture of water, at least one humectant, and at least one water soluble polymer may be heated to a temperature in the range of about 40 to 60 C. and subsequently, cooled to about 20 to 30 C. The at least one colorant is then added to the cooled mixture.

US Classification:

446490, 524557

Abstract:

The present invention relates to moldable sand compositions, methods for making the moldable sand compositions, and methods for using the moldable sand compositions. In a particular embodiment, the moldable sand composition comprises between about 70% to about 95% sand, between about 5% to about 30% water, a polar polymeric resin, a crosslinking agent, and a humectant. In an exemplary embodiment, the composition contains no oils, waxes, glycols, or rubbers. The composition is capable of becoming hardened over time in order to maintain the achieved shape, and can be re-wetted and molded again after becoming hardened.
