Patent number: 9682540Abstract: The current invention utilizes an extrusion coating method as a key step in a series of multilayer construction processes to make a laminate for graphic application. The extrusion coated layer performs as a strengthening layer to provide mechanical properties for the construction, while an ink receptive coating layer delivers high quality printability performance. High gloss can be achieved through the use of a PET carrier.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2010Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: Avery Dennison CorporationInventors: Chia-Hsi Chu, Eugene Rozenbaoum, Frank Y. Shih, Stephen Li, Prakash Mallya

Patent number: 8541077Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-layer oriented shrink film comprising at least one skin layer comprising a polystyrene material and at least one core layer comprising a polyolefin layer. The films are preferably primarily oriented in either the machine or the cross direction. These films are ideally suited for use as a shrink label which can be applied either as a CD shrink sleeve or applied using a continuous roll process. The films ideally have an overall density of less than 1.0 g/cm3, to facilitate recycling efforts.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2006Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: Dow Global Technologies LLCInventors: Rajen M. Patel, Debra H. Niemann, Pak-Wing S. Chum, Moris Amon, Evgueni Rozenbaoum, Chia-Hsi Chu

Patent number: 8524141Abstract: A card sheet including a top material having punched lines, the front side of the top material being printable. A carrier material of at least one polymer layer is directly applied as by extruding to the back side of the top material. The polymer has a stress-at-break in the range of 10 to 30 MPa and an elongation at break in the range of 10 to 120%. From the card sheet individual cards may be broken out to form high quality calling (business) cards, photograph cards, post cards or the like.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2004Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Inventors: Martin Utz, Karl Lengfeller, Michael Wilkes, Sriram Venkatasanthanam, Ramin Heydarpour, Chia-Hsi Chu, Ronald Ugolick, Ali R.

Publication number: 20110162794Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2011Publication date: July 7, 2011Inventors: Douglas Bruce Zeik, Chia-Hsi Chu, Roger A.
