Patent number: 9555419Abstract: The present invention is directed to films that are deposited with foamable inks or coatings. One purpose is to facilitate their separation for recycling purposes. The films are particularly useful as packaging labels. The inks/coatings are designed so that foaming is activated when the film is in the hot-wash stage of a typical recycle process. This provides added buoyancy to the film allowing it to float to the surface and be removed, thereby significantly improving the efficiency of the recycle process. A feature of the invention is that, prior to this hot wash, the inks/coatings remain substantially unfoamed and thereby do not negatively affect the aesthetics of labeled package. The foamable inks/coatings can be used with any type of film.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2013Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: Eastman Chemical CompanyInventors: Marcus David Shelby, Freddie Wayne Willams, Jeffery Earl Grant Powell, Scott Ellery George, Jeff Scott Howell

The sulfopolyester composition of the present invention has a charge density of greater than 1.0 meq/g polymer solids. Another aspect of the invention is a coating composition containing from 1 to 50 weight percent of the sulfopolyester.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2013Publication date: December 4, 2014Applicant: Eastman Chemical CompanyInventors: Scott Ellery George, Joshua Seth Cannon, Suzanne Winegar Dobbs, James Allen McCaulley
