Patent number: 9044918Abstract: A modified silicone release coating suitable for use with clear, polymer films that shows reduced adherence when the resultant liner is wound up into large rolls and the smooth soft surfaces are placed into contact with each other. The adherence is reduced by providing a release layer which has a sub micro-rough top surface produced through the inclusion of a relatively small number of relatively large particles.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2012Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: CPFilms Inc.Inventor: James P. Enniss

Publication number: 20080176018Abstract: A protective device for a glazed structure, in particular an aircraft windscreen 20, comprises at least one removable sacrificial sheet of transparent composite 10. The composite 10 comprises a transparent polymeric film 11 having on one side an electrically conductive layer 12 formed from a dispersion of electrically conductive particles and which is coated with a transparent hard coat 13, with the other side having adhesive layer 14 thereon. Sheets of the composite 10 may be arranged in a stack so that each sheet adheres to the adjacent underneath sheet with the uppermost sheet of each stack being removable as the sheet becomes damaged and/or dirty.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2007Publication date: July 24, 2008Inventors: James P. Enniss, Janet Yeatts, Lisa Yvonne Winckler

Patent number: 7229684Abstract: Composite film structures exhibit a predetermined finished color tone comprised of a transparent film layer which exhibits a color deficiency as compared to the finished color tone, and a pigment which is visually associated with, and satisfies the color deficiency of, the film layer. Most preferably, the pigment is provided as a homogenous dispersion in a transparent color-matching layer positioned adjacent to the film layer. Thus, when the film and color-matching layers are viewed collectively as a unit, the perceived color tone will be that of the finished predetermined color tone. That is, the color-matching layer provides visually an additive effect on the perceived color of the composite film structure.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2005Date of Patent: June 12, 2007Assignee: CPFilms, Inc.Inventors: James P. Enniss, Steven A. Barth, Mary E. Lawless, Anthony B. Port, Elizabeth J. Packer

Patent number: 6905770Abstract: A method of protecting a glazed frame mounted document from the ravages of light and a fade protector therefore, the protector comprising a transparent UV absorbing polymeric film layer, preferably PET, having a thickness such that the film in use remains substantially flat against the glazing when clamped between the frame and glazing, the film layer being coated on its exposed side in use with a transparent anti-glare hard coating. The glazing is removed from the glazed frame, the fade protector is placed against a surface of the glazing which is then re-assembled in the frame with the fade protector adjacent the eternal surface of the glazing with the anti-glare coating facing outwardly.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2003Date of Patent: June 14, 2005Assignee: CPFILMS, IncInventors: David Newton Kaliser, William Dean Jarrett, Philip J Solomon, Steven A Barth, Mary Elizabeth Lawless, James P Enniss

Publication number: 20040258933Abstract: A transparent protective polymeric film 10 composite for laying over a surface, typically glass 120, the protective composite comprising a transparent polymeric film layer 11, typically PET, coated on at least one side with a transparent hard coat 12 containing at least 0.04% by weight of a release agent. The film composite hay be formed into a laminate 100 comprising a plurality of sheets of the film composite 110, the sheets being arranged in a stack such that adhesive 13 on one film composite sheet adheres to the hard coat 12 on a underlying sheet, and the release agent reduces the adhesion between the hard coat surface and the adhesive allowing the top sheet in the stack to be peeled off in turn as required.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2004Publication date: December 23, 2004Inventors: James P. Enniss, Daniel G. Ballan, Paula F. Richardson
