Abstract: This invention relates to an aqueous film-forming mixture which does not contain a vinyl halide and which can be utilized to prepare conformable films which are useful in various applications such as adhesive tapes, labels and decorative sheets. The aqueous film-forming mixtures generally comprise, based on the weight of the solids in the aqueous mixture, (A) from about 50% to about 80% by weight of an acrylic-urethane copolymer which forms a film having an elongation at break of at least about 300%, and (B) from about 5% to about 25% by weight of an acrylic polymer or copolymer having a Tg of less than about 55° C., wherein the acrylic polymer or copolymer (B) is different from the acrylic-urethane copolymer (A). The aqueous mixtures also may contain up to about 40% by weight of a pigment.

Abstract: This invention relates to a calendered vinyl halide film comprising (A) at least one vinyl halide polymer, (B) at least one non-halogenated polymeric plasticizer and (C) at least one second plasticizer different from the non-halogenated polymeric plasticizer, wherein a major amount of the polymers of the film comprise the vinyl halide polymer (A) and wherein the film has an elongation of at least about 50%. The invention also relates to an adhesive article comprising a pressure sensitive adhesive layer having a first and second surface, and a calendered vinyl halide film adhered to the first surface of the adhesive layer, wherein the vinyl halide film comprises (A) at least one vinyl halide polymer, (B) at least one non-halogenated polymeric plasticizer and (C) at least one second plasticizer, wherein the adhesive article has an elongation of at least about 50%. The film and subsequent articles derived therefrom have improved conformability.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an adhesive film which may be applied to several substrates, including plasticized polyvinyl chloride, such as canvas for trucks. The adhesive film according to the invention comprises at least a barrier layer and an adhesive layer, the barrier layer comprising a (co)polyamide. The adhesive film according to the invention may furthermore comprise a front layer, which is applied to the barrier layer. The barrier layer serves to prevent migration of components from the substrate, the front layer and the adhesive layer.
