Abstract: A clear plastic label for attachment to a product package, such as a glass bottle, through a tacky adhesive component. The clear plastic label includes at least an outer plastic substrate and an inner substrate secured together though a weak interlayer bond. The inner substrate has a lower surface secured to the product package through the tacky adhesive and has a peel strength to the tacky adhesive greater than the peel strength of the weak interlayer bond. Thus, when a person applies a peel force to the clear plastic label, the outer plastic substrate is peeled from the product by separating from the inner substrate at the weak interlayer bond, thereby leaving the inner substrate overlying the tacky adhesive to eliminate the tacky feel of the adhesive and at least partially mask any odor of the adhesive.

Abstract: A monolayer or multilayer film having a desired decorative appearance for use as an overlay to cover substrates employed in the construction field to provide construction laminates having a desired decorative appearance. The film overlays include, on one surface thereof, a functional adhesive primer for receiving an aqueous adhesive thereon for bonding the film to the substrates. The film includes an opposed surface having a desired decorative appearance. In one preferred embodiment, the monolayer film or core layer of the multilayer film includes a polyolefin blended with one or more opacifying agents, preferably including a non-voiding opacifying agent without the use of a void-creating additive therein. In certain multilayer film embodiments the core layer can include a void creating additive, either without a non-voiding opacifying. Laminates including the film overlays of this invention bonded to substrates to form construction panels also form a part of the invention.

The film overlays include, on one surface thereof, a functional adhesive primer for receiving an aqueous adhesive thereon for bonding the film to the substrates. The film includes an opposed surface having a desired decorative appearance. In one preferred embodiment the monolayer film or core layer of the multilayer film includes a polyolefin blended with approximately 15%-20% by weight thereof of a whitening agent such as titanium dioxide; without the use of a void-creating additive. In certain multilayer film embodiments the core layer can include a void creating additive, either without a whitening agent or preferably with less than 5% by weight of a whitening agent.
