Release coatings for dielectric substrates.

摘要

Disclosed are image release sheets which comprise a dielectric coated substrate and a silicone-urea block polymer coating for the dielectric substrate. The silicone-urea block polymer functions as a release coating when the image sheet is used in electrographic processes. Excellent transfer of an image from a donor element, comprising the silicone-urea block polymer as a release coating, to a receptor substrate occurs. In a preferred embodiment, a pH sensitive indicator such as thymolphthalein can be added to the release coating in order to monitor the thickness of the coating.
