Abstract: An image receptor medium including an image reception layer having two major opposing surfaces, wherein the image reception layer includes an amine-functional polymer. Alternatively, the image receptor medium includes a polymer substrate layer having two major opposing surfaces and prime layer on a first major surface of the substrate layer for anchoring an adhesive, wherein the prime layer includes an amine-functional polymer.

Abstract: The present invention provides a release coated film, an adhesive tape comprising a release coated film, and processes for preparing the same. The fluoropolymer release layer comprises a graft copolymer of (i) a base polymer containing polymerized units derived from monomers having terminal olefinic double bonds, and (ii) a moiety comprising a fluoroaliphatic group. The film may be coextruded and may subsequently be oriented in at least one direction. Alternately, the release coating can be extrusion coated onto a backing and may be subsequently oriented if the backing is orientable. Adhesives may be coated onto the release coated films either before or after orientation, or they may be coextruded along with the release coating and/or backing.

Abstract: A tape comprising a biaxially-oriented backing made from a polymeric film bearing on one major surface thereof a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive and on the other major surface thereof a layer of low-adhesion backsize composition. The backing and the layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive intermix so as to form a commingled layer between them.

Abstract: A tape comprising a polypropylene backing coated on one surface with an adhesive. The backing is biaxially oriented to provide a secant modulus of elasticity measured at one percent elongation in its longitudinal direction of at least about 25.times.10.sup.5 kilopascals, will break before it can be stretched in its longitudinal direction by about 55 percent and can be transversely cut by forces of less than about 13 newtons on the cutters of commercially available tabletop tape dispensers.
