Patents by Inventor Andrew J. Conti

Andrew J. Conti has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10636330
    Abstract: The present invention includes a label, a label sheet and a method for manufacturing the label. The label includes a paper facestock having first and second surfaces and a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive proximal to the second surface. The label can be adhered to a substrate having pre-applied indicia to cover the indicia and the label is opaque enough to prevent the viewing of the covered indicia while matching the color of the substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 1, 2018
    Date of Patent: April 28, 2020
    Assignee: CCL LABEL, INC.

  • Patent number: 6569914
    Abstract: Low solvent and solvent-free silicone release coatings may be prepared with varying COF levels by incorporating a very high molecular weight, substantially non-reactive organopolysiloxane into a conventional curable release coating. By supplying the COF additive in the form of a relatively low viscosity master batch, adjustment of COF may be made by the coating applicator. Very low COF values can be obtained from tin-free, solvent-free coating systems, while at the same time, the coatings have very low extractables.

  • Patent number: 5264027
    Abstract: Detergent resistant compositions comprising an aqueous emulsion of hydrocarbonoxy end-blocked branched organopolysiloxanes containing from 10 to 99 mol percent of R.sub.2 SiO units and from 90 to 1 mol percent of R.sub.3 SiO.sub.3/2 units and/or SiO.sub.4/2 units, where R is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical. Other silicone fluids such as aminofunctional, silicone fluids, organoalkoxysilanes, silicone resins, organopolysiloxane fluids and silicone gums as well as abrasive materials, surfactants and organic solvents may be incorporated in the aqueous emulsions.
