Claims
- 1. A method of making a banner, flag or sign comprising
- (a) applying a water-based dispersion of a copolymeric reaction product of vinyl and acrylic monomers to one surface of a plasticized polyvinyl chloride film;
- (b) drying said dispersion to form a vinyl acrylic copolymeric coating adhered to said one surface of said plasticized polyvinyl chloride film;
- (c) laminating the uncoated side of said plasticized polyvinyl chloride film to the surface of a base fabric material with a plastisol adhesive;
- (d) curing said vinyl acrylic coating; and
- (e) applying an enamel paint to the outer surface of said vinyl acrylic copolymeric coating wherein said copolymeric coating provides superior enamel paint receptiveness over said polyvinyl chloride film.
- 2. A method of making a banner, flag or sign as in claim 1 wherein said dispersion comprises a vinyl acrylic copolymer, synthetic silica, isopropyl alcohol and water.
- 3. A method of making a banner, flag or sign as in claim 2 wherein said base fabric material is a synthetic fabric material.
- 4. A method of making a banner, flag or sign as in claim 3 wherein said synthetic fabric material is a polyester material, nylon material, fiberglass material or paper.
- 5. A method of making a banner, flag or sign as in claim 2 wherein said water-based dispersion is applied as a wet coating with a thickness between 0.5 mil and 3 mils.
- 6. A method of making a banner, flag or sign as in claim 2 wherein said vinyl acrylic copolymeric coating adhered to said surface of said plasticized polyvinyl chloride film is a thermosetting copolymer.
- 7. A method of making a banner, flag or sign as in claim 1 wherein a second plasticized polyvinyl chloride film is laminated to a surface of said base fabric material opposed to said surface of said first plasticized polyvinyl chloride film.
- 8. A method of making a banner, flag or sign as in claim 2 wherein said water-based dispersion is dried by heating.
