Abstract: A method of wash-durably bonding integrated textile emblems such as patches, emblems, labels and cut textile parts to another textile article by laminating a pressure sensitive acrylic polymer adhesive to the back surface of the textile emblem. The acrylic polymer adhesive has a storage modulus that is greater than a loss modulus throughout a frequency range of from 0.1885 Hz to 628 Hz where bonding and debonding are expected to occur, and is devoid of any cross linking additives or reagents. The integrated textile emblem with laminated pressure sensitive acrylic polymer adhesive has improved adhesion to low-to-high energy surfaces, is not water soluble and is of adequate thickness to provide a wash-durable textile-to-textile bond capable of seaming or permanently attaching items such as textile panels, appliqué bearing text, numbers, logos and other indicia for the apparel, accessory and other industries.

Abstract: A new product and process for producing an integrated textile embellishments such as patches, emblems, appliqués, labels and cut textile parts (including woven, knits and nonwoven structures made of both natural and or synthetic fibers) incorporating adhesives that permanently bond by heat-sealing to waterproof and/or waterproof-breathable fabrics including Gore-Tex®, Sympatex™ and other fabrics having durable water repellant finishes (DWR). This eliminates the tedious and cost intensive sewing operations previously needed to attach textile embellishments to such fabrics. The product and process includes a top layer decorative element, a second layer bonded to the top layer through lamination or chemical bonding to create a more uniform or smooth surface, and a thermal adhesive layer bonded to the second layer and capable of heat-application to textile based textile based products such as apparel and or accessories, headwear, outdoor furnishings and luggage.

Abstract: A new device, pressure sensitive adhesive system for bonding textiles and a method for producing integrated textile emblems such as patches, emblems, emblems, labels and cut textile parts including wovens, knits and nonwoven structures made of both natural and or synthetic fibers incorporating a pressure sensitive adhesive. The resulting room temperature pressure sensitive-patch eliminates tedious and cost intensive sewing operations (embroidery) and or heat-sealing operations (heat transfers) to other textile products such as apparel and or accessories, headwear, crafts home furnishings and luggage.
