Abstract: A plastic sheet, preferably of plasticized partial polyvinyl butyral, for a laminated safety glazing, having means dispersed on its surface, preferably comprising a multiplicity of spaced projections, capable of resisting adhesion to a rigid panel, such as glass, of such a glazing when the sheet is laminated to the panel, the area of the sheet surface without such dispersed means having high affinity for adhesion. The projections physically block adhesion of a dispersed area of the sheet to the panel in that the means on the sheet surface have no or weak interfacial adhesion. The multiplicity of space projections also have low or no affinity for adhesion when in blocking contact with each other or with another plasticized partial polyvinyl butyral surface and thereby increase blocking resistance.

Abstract: Polymeric blends suitable for making plastic sheets and laminas which exhibit improved flexural durability while retaining stiffness and impact strength include a core made from a blend comprising polyvinyl chloride resin, a vinyl chloride-vinyl ester copolymer, one or more acrylic polymers or copolymers, a chlorinated polyolefin, a solid tin stabilizer, and one or more ester waxes. The lamina, which is suitable for use as an extended life credit card, is prepared by forming a polymeric blend of a core material into a base layer sheet material which is subsequently treated to reduce surface tension and improve ink adhesion thereto, then printed with desired indicia, and finally provided with a contact-transparent protective overlay which is laminated thereto.

Abstract: A holographic article and method for forming permits the party producing the final document to print the holographic image directly on the final document thereby permitting such party to retain and maintain control of its own embossing shim on which the hologram has been formed and which is utilized for embossing the holographic image on the document.

Abstract: Polymeric, thin oriented films can be made by use of a combination of a hot blown process and a blown bubble process, i.e. a double bubble process. The resulting film has use in replacing PVC for in store stretch wrap applications. Very low density polyethylene, VLDPE, is an especially preferred material for this process. It may be used as a monolayer, or as one layer of a multilayer structure. In practicing the invention, the polymer is extruded and hot blown, and heated to a temperature above its orientation temperature. This heating can be accomplished by the use of a heated liquid reservoir or sock disposed at the lower end of the primary bubble, inside the bubble. The hot blown heated film is then passed through a first set of pinch rolls, re-inflated into a blown bubble, and collapsed at a second set of pinch rolls. Thin, tough and elastic packaging materials are obtained by this process.
