  • Ink-receptive compositions and coated products
    Patent number: 6153288
    Abstract: Coatable ink-receptive compositions and coated substrates are provided. The compositions contain a pigment dispersed in a binder composed of an ethylene vinyl acetate emulsion polymer and at least one water soluble, cationic polymer, such as polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride and copolymers of a quaternary amino acrylate or methacrylate and a hydroxy-lower alkyl acrylate or methacrylate. Papers, films, labels and similar products, coated with an ink-receptive composition, are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 24, 1997
    Date of Patent: November 28, 2000
    Assignee: Avery Dennison Corporation
    Inventors: Frank Yen-Jer Shih, Kenneth S. C. Lin
  • Stable pressure sensitive shrink label technique
    Patent number: 5190609
    Abstract: Heat shrinkable labels formed of a polyolefin such as polypropylene have a permanent acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive on one surface thereof, and may be mounted on a release coated backing strip. A metallization layer and open style graphics may be applied to the labels, and the graphics may be protected by varnish or a second layer of heat shrinkable polyolefin material. The label has low shrink-back properties under high ambient temperature storage conditions, following application to a product, of less than three percent.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: Avery Dennison Corporation
    Inventors: Kenneth S. C. Lin, Roderick T. Coward, Douglas W. Wilson
  • Pressure-sensitive adhesives based on similar polymers
    Patent number: 5100963
    Abstract: A pressure-sensitive adhesive is formed from a high-molecular-weight polymer and is plasticized by a low-molecular-weight polymer, which polymers have monomer contents which differ by no more than 30 percent by weight.
