Abstract: A labeling apparatus and method for continuously applying a layer of a radiation curable adhesives to plastic, sheet fed, cut and stack, labels, irradiating the adhesive on the labels, prior to and/or subsequent to adhering the labels to containers, e.g., a bottle, to render the adhesive sufficiently tacky to effectively permanently seal the labels to containers in a commercial labeling machine. The plastic labels can be clear, opaque (including metallized) plastic films and can be retained in a dispensing magazine prior to the application of the radiation curable adhesive to the labels.

Abstract: A cold seal release film in the form of a monolayer film or an outer layer of a multilayer film. The cold seal release film includes a nucleating agent and 10%–100% by weight of the polymer composition of a polymer selected from the group consisting of 1-butene homopolymer, 1-butene/ethylene random copolymers having over 50% by weight 1-butene therein blends of the 1-butene homopolymer and the 1-butene/ethylene random copolymers, and 90%–0% by weight of the polymer composition of a polymer selected from the group consisting of ethylene random copolymers of polypropylene, butene random copolymers of polypropylene and ethylene-butene random terpolymers of polypropylene.

Abstract: This invention relates to a labeling system for continuously applying a layer of a UV curable adhesive to plastic, sheet fed, cut and stack, labels, irradiating the adhesive on the labels to render the adhesive sufficiently tacky to effectively adhere the labels to containers in a commercial labeling machine and thereafter applying the labels to discrete containers through the sufficiently tacky adhesive layer. The plastic labels can be clear, opaque (including metallized) plastic films and can be retained in a dispensing magazine prior to the application of the UV curable adhesive to the labels.

Abstract: Novel polypropylene films are prepared from a composition comprising polypropylene and an N,N—N,N′-bis-alkylene fatty amide having the general structural formula R—CO—NH—(CH2)n—NH—CO—R1 wherein R and R1 are the same or different alkyl or alkenyl groups having about 15 to 21 carbon atoms, n is an integer from 2 to 4 and —CO— is a carbonyl group. Such films are found to have improved utility for gravure printing applications.
