  • Patent number: 10884523
    Abstract: A film, a method for producing a film, the use of a film for application to a target substrate as well as a method for producing an electrical functional element. The film here includes a carrier substrate, an adhesion-promoting layer for applying the film to a target substrate, and at least one electrically conductive layer, wherein the at least one electrically conductive layer forms an electrical functional structure in a functional region, wherein the at least one electrically conductive layer forms at least one contacting structure for contacting the electrical functional structure in at least one contacting region, and wherein the adhesion-promoting layer does not cover the at least one contacting region at least in areas when viewed perpendicularly to a plane spanned by the carrier substrate or wherein the adhesion-promoting layer is applied over the whole surface when viewed perpendicularly to a plane spanned by the carrier substrate.

  • Patent number: 7976931
    Abstract: The invention concerns multi-layer films for back-molding with a liquid plastic material in an inmold process for the production of a decorated injection molded article of high optical quality and utilitarian suitability, in particular having curved surfaces, wherein the multi-layer film has at least one replication lacquer layer which at least on one of its surfaces has a spatial structure producing a visually perceptible and/or technical effect, wherein a contrast layer which is preferably in the form of a reflection layer is arranged in adjoining relationship with at least one surface with a spatial structure at least in region-wise manner. The invention further concerns an injection molded article which is decorated with a multi-layer film and a process for the production of the article.

  • Patent number: 7906054
    Abstract: The invention concerns a decorated injection molded article and a process for the production of a decorated injection molded article by means of inmold technology, wherein inter alia an IMD-capable transfer film with a release layer of highly cross-linked plastic material is used. The decorated injection molded article formed has a high level of optical quality based on double-sided coating of a decorative element which is optionally joined to an auxiliary film web which is formed by a transfer layer of a transfer film and provides a decoration for the injection molded article, by means of injection molding.

  • Patent number: 7393001
    Abstract: The invention concerns a multilayer film (15) for the construction of skis, a ski (1) having said multilayer film (15) and processes for the production of the multilayer film and the ski. The multilayer film (15) has a multilayer transfer or laminating film comprising two or more thin layers. A mechanically load-bearing layer with preferably a high modulus of elasticity is arranged on a surface of the multilayer transfer or laminating film. A cover layer is arranged on another surface of the multilayer transfer or laminating film. The multilayer film formed in that way is now applied to a base body of the ski (1).

  • Publication number: 20080032070
    Abstract: The invention relates to a transfer film comprising a carrier film having a first side and a second side, a release layer being arranged on the first side of the carrier film and a transfer layer being arranged on the side of the release layer facing away from the carrier film, either on the second side of the carrier film or on the side of the transfer film opposite the second side of the carrier film there being partially arranged a structured layer with a layer thickness of at least approximately 20 ?m of a structuring varnish, whose compressive strength is substantially constant at least up to a temperature of 200° C., and to the use of such transfer films. The invention also relates to two processes for the production of a plastic article which is decorated with a transfer layer of a transfer film and which has three-dimensional structuring in the region of the transfer layer.
