  • Publication number: 20070196631
    Abstract: A decorative dry paint transfer laminate includes a layer of dry paint, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on one side of the dry paint layer, and a release liner in releasable contact with the dry paint layer on a side opposite from the pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA). The release liner has a matte release coat layer that contacts the dry paint layer. The release liner is released from the dry paint layer after the PSA side is attached to a surface. The matte release coat adheres to the dry paint layer to provide a protective function but also to transfer a decorative matte finish to the dry paint layer when the release liner is removed from it. The laminate includes a barrier layer to protect against significant discoloration of the color in the dry paint layer caused by migration of mono azo pigments from a painted surface.

  • Publication number: 20070092678
    Abstract: A self-wound decorative dry paint transfer laminate includes a layer of dry paint, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on one side of the dry paint layer, and a release liner in releasable contact with the dry paint layer on a side opposite from the pressure-sensitive adhesive. The release liner has a matte release coat layer that contacts the dry paint layer. The matte release coat releasably adheres to the dry paint layer to provide a protective function but also to transfer a decorative matte finish to the dry paint layer when the release liner is removed from the dry paint layer. The opposite side of the release liner has an adhesive release coat that contacts the pressure-sensitive adhesive when the laminate is in a self-wound form.

  • Publication number: 20060046083
    Abstract: The invention comprises a laminated article, such as may be used to apply a functional effect to a surface. The functional effect may be color. The article has plies which preferentially release from one another or adhere to one another as desired for bonding to the surface, either temporarily, for repositionability, or permanently, for long-term use.

  • Publication number: 20060046028
    Abstract: Layered articles for applying color on a surface including a sheet of visually-perceivable color effects, a bonding agent capable of bonding the sheet to the surface, and a releasable liner removably attached to the sheet. The article further includes a substance, agent or barrier that prevents or, at the least, reduces the transfer of an extraneous agent from the surface to a location in the layered article that would affect the visually-perceivable color effect conveyed by the sheet.
