Abstract: A first process for making labels comprises the steps of feeding a laminated combination of a face stock and a process liner to a cutting station such as a microperforator or die-cutter and thereafter stripping the process liner from the face stock and further processing the face stock. The process liner may be recycled and reused. A second method includes all of the steps described above along with the further step of laminating the cut or perforated face stock, immediately after stripping off the process liner, to a second lighter liner which carries the face stock, minus the web or matrix of waste material, to a roller. A complete description of the machinery is given herein.

Abstract: A label for removable application to an article such as a beverage bottle includes a backing layer (2) comprising a laminate of a bi-axially oriented polyester such as PET (12) and a bi-axially oriented polypropylene (14). The polyester film (12) has a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than the polypropylene film (14). Consequently, when the label is heated, it will tend to curl and this effect can be used to assist in the removal of the label from the article in a hot washing bath during recycling of the article.
Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing a wiring board, in which: a composite adhesive sheet 20 is attached to one of the surfaces of a support substrate 10, and a double-sided CCL 30 is attached to the other surface. Then, in an integrated state of the above components, a multilayer wiring structure including a conductive layer and a resin insulating layer is formed on a metal layer 33 of the double-sided CCL 30 by a known build-up method. A thermally foamable adhesive layer 22 of the composite adhesive sheet 20 is then heated, thereby thermally decomposing a thermal foaming agent to generate gas, and the support substrate 10 is separated from the remaining bonded body. Thereafter, a carrier foil layer 32b and a copper foil layer 32a of a carrier-foil coated copper foil 32 are mechanically peeled from each other at a boundary between both the layers, thereby obtaining a wiring board 1.

Abstract: The method provides that, in an initial peeling phase (AP), the material block is started to be peeled in a spiral shape. This is followed by a transition phase (UP) of a fraction of a turn so as to change to the set layer thickness. In the subsequent peeling phase (SP), the work is done with the same spiral pitch as in the initial peeling phase. During each turn of the material block, the knife is sunk further into the material block within a limited angular range and thereafter the turn is completed with the pitch of the initial peeling phase. Advantages are achieved by the fact that the set layer thickness is reached within fractions of a turn. The method can be executed with little expenditure of time and little waste of material.
