  • Haptic adhesive article and a method of forming the same
    Patent number: 11798438
    Abstract: An adhesive article includes a polymeric layer, a haptic layer disposed adjacent a first major surface of the polymeric layer, and an adhesive layer disposed adjacent a second major surface of the polymeric layer. The haptic layer includes a predetermined amount of at least one release agent. A method of forming the adhesive article includes providing the polymeric layer, disposing the haptic layer over and directly on the polymeric layer, and disposing the adhesive layer over and directly on the polymeric layer opposite the haptic layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Method Of Making A Multiple-Layer Flexible Film
    Publication number: 20190263104
    Abstract: A method of making a multiple-layer flexible film includes providing a first flexible film. The first flexible film includes a first polymeric layer. A printed layer is formed over a first major surface of the first polymeric layer. The first flexible film is directed to a lamination device. A second flexible film is directed to the lamination device. The second flexible film includes a heat sealable polymeric layer and an adhesive layer disposed over the heat sealable polymeric layer. The first flexible film is laminated to the second flexible film utilizing the lamination device to form a multiple-layer flexible film such that the heat sealable polymeric layer defines an outer surface of the multiple layer flexible film and the adhesive layer is disposed on the printed layer.

  • Multiple-Layer Flexible Film And The Method Of Making The Same
    Publication number: 20180072023
    Abstract: A multi-layer flexible film includes a first polymeric layer. A functional layer is disposed over a first major surface of the first polymeric layer. A barrier layer is disposed over a second major surface of the first polymeric layer. The first polymeric layer separates the barrier layer from the functional layer. An adhesive layer is disposed over the barrier layer. The adhesive layer defines a first outer surface of the multi-layer flexible film.
