Assignee:

Dennison Manufacturing Company - Framingham MA

International Classification:

C09J 702

US Classification:

428352

Abstract:

An improved release system for heat transferable laminates wherein a transferable substrate which contains a design layer is transferred from a carrier web onto an article such as a plastic bottle or container upon application of heat and pressure. The carrier web includes a nonwax polyethylene layer. The improved release system includes a polyethylene layer portion of the carrier web in contact with and adhered to a nonwax transfer layer portion of the transferable substrate. The transferable substrate including the ink design layer transfers to the article upon application of heat to the carrier while the article contacts the laminate. The transferred substrate with design layers on the article is clear and exhibits improved scuff and abrasion resistance.

International Classification:

B44C 1165

US Classification:

156233

Abstract:

A metallized laminate and process of manufacture wherein a metallic layer or underlying ink layer appears in a pattern on the laminate. The method in a specific embodiment involves the steps of forming a laminate by coating a heat stable release coat onto a carrier sheet; coating an ink layer in a pattern on the heat stable release coating so that at least portions of the release coat remain uncovered with ink, and applying a metallic layer over the release coat so that at least a portion of the metallic layer is in direct contact with and adheres directly to the release coat. Portions of the metallic layer may be removed by an etchant. A heat activatable adhesive layer is applied over the metallic layer. The laminate so formed is heat transferable from the carrier sheet to an article.

Abstract:

An improved release system for heat transferable laminates wherein a transferable substrate which contains a design layer is transferred from a carrier web onto an article such as a plastic bottle or container upon application of heat and pressure. The carrier web includes a nonwax polyethylene layer. The improved release system includes a polyethylene layer portion of the carrier web in contact with and adhered to a nonwax transfer layer portion of the transferable substrate. The transferable substrate including the ink design layer transfers to the article upon application of heat to the carrier while the article contacts the laminate. The transferred substrate on the article is clear and exhibits improved scuff and abrasion resistance. The nonwax transfer layer portion of the transferable substrate advantageously contains an oil which becomes activated upon application of heat to promote release of the transferable substrate from the carrier web to the article.
