Patent number: 10150891Abstract: The present subject matter provides a shrink film free of silicon-containing material, fluorine-containing material, and solvent-formed seams. The shrink film utilizes a water soluble layer covering an adhesive layer. The water soluble layer is in dry form and non-tacky, allowing processing of the shrink film subsequent to adhesive application to the shrink film. When the water soluble layer is dissolved, the adhesive layer is exposed and is capable of forming a permanent bond. The adhesive can be used to form a seam in the film and/or can be used to form a bond between the film and a substrate. The water soluble layer facilitates removal of an optional release liner from the adhesive. A substrate with the shrink film attached thereto and a related method of attaching a heat shrinkable film to a substrate are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2016Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: Avery Dennison CorporationInventors: Kevin O. Henderson, Hoang T. Pham

Patent number: 10150893Abstract: An uncured adhesive contains 2 to 10 weight percent of particles of a semi-crystalline organic material, preferably a polyester having a number-average molecular weight of 2000 to 10,000, a hydroxyl number of 10 to 60, and a melting temperature of 50 to 125° C. The adhesive is applied by heating it just prior to application, to melt the particles. After application, the adhesive is cooled to below the melting temperature of the semi-crystalline organic material, and then cured. The process allows the adhesive to be stored and pumped at ambient temperatures, due to the moderate viscosity of the material. Upon melting and re-cooling the semi-crystalline organic material, the adhesive assumes a high yield stress that imparts very good wash-off resistance. In preferred embodiments, the adhesive composition includes an epoxy resin and an epoxy curing agent.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2015Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: Dow Global Technologies LLCInventors: Glenn G. Eagle, Michael R. Golden, Andreas Lutz
