Abstract:

This disclosed invention relates to a laminate for use as a wallcovering comprising: a matte release liner having a flexible polymeric matte release backing liner and a matte release coat bonded to the matte release backing liner, and a flexible multi-layer decorative film releasably adhered to the matte release liner, the decorative film comprising a dry paint film layer in contact with the matte release coat, and an adhesive layer bonded to the dry paint film layer on a side thereof opposite the matte release liner, the dry paint film layer comprising a layer of pigment dispersed in a polymeric binder, the matte release coat having a level of tack that preferentially adheres the matte release backing liner to the decorative film sufficient to provide a level of structural support for the decorative film when placing the adhesive side of the paint film layer in contact with a substrate, the matte release coat having a micro-roughened surface for transferring a matte finish to the exposed surface fo the dry paint film layer when the release coat is released from contact with the dry paint film layer, the adhesive layer having a suppressed initial level of tack at room temperature that allows the laminate to adhere to a substrate and be repositioned thereon followed by removal of the matte release liner from the dry paint film layer, the adhesive layer undergoing subsequent build up of adhesion due to the passage of time sufficient to permanently bond the dry paint film layer to the substrate.

Abstract:

A self-wound decorative dry paint transfer laminate includes a layer of dry paint, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on one side of the dry paint layer, and a release liner in releasable contact with the dry paint layer on a side opposite from the pressure-sensitive adhesive. The release liner has a matte release coat layer that contacts the dry paint layer. The matte release coat releasably adheres to the dry paint layer to provide a protective function but also to transfer a decorative matte finish to the dry paint layer when the release liner is removed from the dry paint layer. The opposite side of the release liner has an adhesive release coat that contacts the pressure-sensitive adhesive when the laminate is in a self-wound form.

International Classification:

B32B003/00

US Classification:

428/195100

Abstract:

A self-wound decorative dry paint transfer laminate includes a layer of dry paint, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on one side of the dry paint layer, and a release liner in releasable contact with the dry paint layer on a side opposite from the pressure-sensitive adhesive. The release liner has a matte release coat layer that contacts the dry paint layer. The matte release coat releasably adheres to the dry paint layer to provide a protective function but also to transfer a decorative matte finish to the dry paint layer when the release liner is removed from the dry paint layer. The opposite side of the release liner has an adhesive release coat that contacts the pressure-sensitive adhesive when the laminate is in a self-wound form. The release liner preferentially releases from the pressure-sensitive adhesive when the laminate is unwound while maintaining adhesion to the matte release coat, and then after unwinding and application to a substrate surface, the release liner releases from the dry paint layer.
