Thin, flexible composite materials, which are magnetic or magnetizable and
processes for producing and using the materials. The composite material
contains a laminate formed from a mixture of magnetic or magnetizable
particles, binder particles (and optionally active particles), applied to
and fused and/or coalesced with a first substrate. The composite
preferably contains an additional second substrate fused to and/or
coalesced with, the laminate on the side of the laminate opposite that of
the first substrate.
