  • Patent number: 10576722
    Abstract: Provided is a method for favorable bonding between an adherend and an adhesive body, which is capable of suppressing an ink layer, which is formed by an ultraviolet-curable ink, from being smudged while increasing convenience of a bonding operation between the adherend and the adhesive body, and the like. The method for bonding a medium to a foil body includes an ink layer formation process of spotting an ultraviolet-curable ink, which is ejected from an inkjet head, to a medium and irradiating ultraviolet ray to the ultraviolet-curable ink to cure the same, thereby forming an ink layer; a lamination process of laminating the medium and a foil body with the ink layer being sandwiched therebetween; and a bonding process of heating the ink layer, enabling the ink layer to function as an adhesive, and bonding the medium to the foil body.

  • Patent number: 9944112
    Abstract: A member adhering decoration method capable of enhancing processability in comparison with conventional methods is provided. The member adhering decoration method for decorating a target object (11) by adhering a decoration member (13a), which is a member for decoration, onto the object (11) includes: a primer layer formation step for ink jet printing a tack-containing coating, which is a coating that contains a tack, onto the object (11) during curing or drying to form a primer layer (12) on the object (11) by using the tack-containing coating; and a decoration layer formation step for applying the decoration member (13a) onto the primer layer (12) formed by the primer layer formation step to thereby form a decoration layer (13) composed of the decoration member (13a) on the primer layer (12) by using the tack of the primer layer (12).

  • Publication number: 20100081845
    Abstract: A benzylamine derivative has a structure represented by the following formula (1): In a method for optical resolution of the benzylamine derivative, optically active mandelic acid is used as an optical resolving agent. In an optical resolution step in a production method of the optically active benzylamine derivative, an optically active (S)-benzylamine derivative represented by the formula (3) is precipitated as (S)-mandelic acid salt from a solution containing the benzylamine derivative and (S)-mandelic acid: wherein Ar represents an aryl group that has 6 to 15 carbon atoms and may have a substituent, and *1 represents an asymmetric carbon atom.
