Abstract:
Composition for preparing a crosslinked pressure-sensitive adhesive, comprising a pressure-sensitive adhesive comprising a polymer component based on one or more monomers having at least one ethylenically unsaturated bond and for which the glass transition temperatures Tg of the corresponding homopolymers are at least 0° C., some of the monomers having at least one ethylenically unsaturated bond also having at least one carboxyl group, acrylic esters and/or methacrylic esters which are each selected such that the glass transition temperatures Tg of the corresponding homopolymers are not more than −20° C., at least one resin component having a softening point of at least 100° C., and at least one difunctional or polyfunctional crosslinker.
Abstract:
A decorative dry color laminate includes a dry color layer, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on one side of the dry color layer, and a carrier in releasable contact with the dry color layer on a side opposite from the pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA). In use, the adhesive layer adheres the dry color laminate to the surface under application of pressure, and the carrier is peeled away to expose the dry color layer. Methods for providing a substantially permanent color effect on an architectural surface comprise delivering such an article to the architectural surface.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method for imparting topographical or protective features to a substrate by contacting a sheet material comprising a thermosettable layer with a substrate and heating the sheet material to an elevated temperature.
Abstract:
A label for application to a surface having at least one compound curve is provided. The label comprises a heat shrinkable film having an inner surface and outer surface and a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive on the inner surface of the heat shrinkable film.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a decorating product by which a decorating product additionally printed with a design and the like can be easily obtained, and provides the decorating product.With respect to a transfer film 1 in which a design layer 5 for transfer is formed through a peeling layer 4 on a base material sheet 2, and further the design layer 5 is coated with an adhesive layer 6, a second design layer 8 is additionally printed on the surface of the adhesive layer 6 by ink jet printer, and the transfer film 1, to which the second design layer 8 is additionally printed, is brought into contact with a surface subject to printing under heat and pressure, whereby both the design and the second design thus additionally printed are transferred to the surface subject to printing.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a nonmetallic, tamper-indicating, multi-layer label with a metallic appearance is described. The label comprises a pearlescent layer, a film layer, a patterned release layer, and a pigmented adhesive layer with the provisos that (i) the pigmented adhesive layer is an exterior layer of the label and is substantially free of pearlescent pigment, and (ii) the patterned release layer is an interior layer of the label. Each layer has first and second opposing planar surfaces, and each layer is in intimate contact with the layer or layers immediately adjacent to it. In another embodiment, two layers, one layer comprising a non-pearlescent pigment and the other layer comprising the adhesive, replace the pigmented adhesive layer.
Abstract:
A polymeric film for labeling articles comprises a core layer (A), a print skin layer (B) comprising a polypropylene homopolymer, a polypropylene copolymer, a high density polyethylene, or a mixture of any of the foregoing polymers and at least 10% by weight based on the weight of the layer (B) of a polyolefin elastomer, an alkene-unsaturated carboxylic acid or acid derivative copolymer, or a mixture of any of the foregoing polymers, and an adhesive skin layer (C) comprising a polypropylene homopolymer, where the polymeric film is oriented. An adhesive containing label stock and an adhesive label die-cut from the adhesive containing label stock comprise the polymeric film which is especially useful for pressure sensitive hot melt adhesive applications.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a multi-layer bi-oriented poly-propylene (BOPP) film comprising at least one outer layer composed by a blend of polystyrene and styrene-butadiene copolymer, as well as to the process of preparing it. The invention further relates to an article comprising said BOPP film, such as a tag or self-adhesive label. The film of the present invention exhibits improved surface energy, brightness and resistance to abrasion.
Abstract:
A pressure-sensitive adhesive tape contains a substrate and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer disposed on at least one side of the substrate, wherein the substrate contains colored layers containing a white layer, a layer of a color other than white and black, and a black layer which are superposed in this order.
Abstract:
A heat-sealing film having a haze of not more than 30% and having a sealant layer made of a resin composition which comprises from 50 to 100 wt % of the total of the following components (a) to (c): (a) from 5 to 50 wt % of a block copolymer of from 50 to 95 wt % of a styrene-type hydrocarbon and from 5 to 50 wt % of a conjugated diene-type hydrocarbon, (b) from 5 to 50 wt % of an ethylene/α-olefin random copolymer, and (c) from 5 to 70 wt % of a block copolymer of from 10 to 50 wt % of a styrene-type hydrocarbon and from 50 to 90 wt % of a conjugated diene-type hydrocarbon, and (d) from 0 to 50 wt % of an impact-resistant polystyrene.
