Patent number: 8734909Abstract: Methods and apparatus for coating substrates. A die can be employed for extrusion coating an elongated substrate, where the die defines a coating cavity therein. The die can comprise a die block having a coating supply channel for supplying a coating material to the coating cavity. The die can further comprise a guide plug and a die plate removably coupled to the die block. The guide plug can comprise a substrate inlet having a non-circular lateral cross-section, and the die plate can comprise a substrate outlet also having a non-circular lateral cross-section. A coating system comprising such a die can operate to coat a substrate where the substrate can be pushed at least partially through the die and contacts the coating material therein.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2010Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Eastman Chemical CompanyInventors: Subramanian Easwaran Iyer, Jeremy Richard Lizotte, William Joseph Burgess, Wayne Scott Strasser, James Wilson Mercer, Jr., Tony Wayne Helton, Gary Darrel Boone

Patent number: 8389117Abstract: Disclosed are hot-melt adhesives prepared from polyesters containing 1,4-cyclohexane-dicarboxylic acid as a diacid component and a diol component containing at least two diols chosen from 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, triethylene glycol, and diethylene glycol. These adhesives set up rapidly within a well-defined temperature window. The hot-melt adhesives can be used in a variety of applications, but are especially suited as seaming adhesives for roll-applied labels. These adhesives have melting temperatures and crystallization properties that allow their application at temperatures cool enough to prevent curling and premature shrinkage of the shrink label during seaming, and yet produce strong label seams that can withstand the elevated temperatures of a shrink tunnel without sacrificing line speed. Also disclosed are labeled containers and a process for applying a roll-on, shrink label to a container using the hot-melt adhesives of the invention.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2009Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: Eastman Chemical CompanyInventors: Marcus David Shelby, Scott Ellery George, Gary Robert Robe, Freddie Wayne Williams, Michael Eugene Donelson, Joshua Seth Cannon, Emmett Patrick O'Brien, Jeremy Richard Lizotte, Anthony Joseph Pasquale
