Abstract
A dry erase board that will accept writing, figures, and designs, while being erasable, and to which magnets will adhere. The board exhibits properties of a metallic board so that the surface of the board can receive magnets. The board can also be printed by silk-screening or sublimation printed with inks to produce graphics which are permanently on the surface of the board and are not erased.
Claims14
A dry erase board comprising a rigid or semi-rigid structure having as its surface a composition that provides a smooth, virtually non-porous polymeric surface to which can be applied legible markings and writing which can be easily erased, and to which magnets can be adhered, wherein the board has a first composition comprising a cured mixture of a polymer and ferromagnetic particles and the surface is a second composition which is adhered to the first composition and will accept the writing and graphics, which areerasable, on its surface.
A method of making a dry erase board that provides a smooth, virtually non-porous polymeric surface to which can be applied legible markings and writing which can be easily erased, and to which magnets can be adhered, wherein the board has a first composition comprising a cured mixture of a polymer and ferromagnetic particles and the surface is a second composition which is adhered to the first composition and will accept the writing and graphics, which areerasable, on its surface, by a two step system which comprises applying a coating containing metallic or ferrometallic particulate as a first coating to a rigid or semi-rigid substrate, and subsequently applying a second coating which provides the dry erase board characteristics to the board.
The method of making a dry erase board that provides a smooth, virtually non-porous polymeric surface to which can be applied legible markings and writing which can be easily erased, and to which magnets can be adhered, wherein the board has a first composition comprising a cured mixture of a polymer and ferromagnetic particles and the surface is a second composition which is adhered to the first composition and will accept the writing and graphics, which are erasable, on its surface as a single step system comprising applying a UV or EB curable coating that contains metallic particulate to a rigid or semi-rigid board to provide a surface that has dry erase board characteristics and that will hold magnets, and curin said coating.
