Abstract: A method for protecting a substrate sheet such as a conductive foil suitable for use in the manufacture of printed circuit boards involving applying a lamination mold-release layer to one side of a protective film, and applying a preferably electron beam curable adhesive pressure-sensitive coating to the other side of the film, curing the adhesive coating, and laminating the protective film to the foil or other substrate sheet, which, in turn, may be laminated to other substrates such as dielectric sheets.

Abstract: An antistatic resin composition which is the electron radiation cured reaction product of an electron radiation curable prepolymer and an electron radiation reactive antistatic agent soluble in the prepolymer. An antistatic laminate is made by applying a mixture of the prepolymer and antistatic agent to a substrate and then contacting the mixture with electron radiation.

Abstract: A fire retardant antistatic coating and coated substrate. The coating includes a mixture of a radiation curable halogenated prepolymer, an effective amount of a quarternary ammonium compound antistatic agent and an effective amount of an antimony pentoxide flame ratardant agent. A coated substrate having a substrate film material coated with the above coating is included. A method for making a fire resistant and antistatic film which includes the steps of: (a) providing a substrate film; (b) preparing the coating by mixing a radiation curable prepolymer with an effective amount of a quarternary ammonium antistatic compound and an effective amount of an antimony pentoxide fire retardant compound; (c) the coating is then applied to the film material; and (d) the coating is contacted with electron radiation in an amount sufficient to cure the coating.

Abstract: A method for making a novel assembly of laid-on labels, without die-cutting, is described. The method comprises printing over the release surface of a temporary carrier web a liquid pressure-sensitive adhesive in a predetermined pattern of discrete label areas separated by intervening areas of the carrier, solidifying the adhesive surface, forming a continuous film of radiation polymerizable liquid over each adhesive area, the film over each area being unconnected to films over adjacent areas, and exposing the films to radiation sufficient to solidify them by polymerization. Preferably the films extend over the edges of the adhesive and comprise liquids which do not wet the release surface.
