Alternatively, the coating layer is formed on a surface of a double-sided adhesive layer and is bonded to a surface of the substrate opposite to the surface on which the ink zone is formed.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2009Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: E&I Marketing Consultant Co., Ltd.Inventor: Edison Lu

Publication number: 20120064331Abstract: A polymer film is provided for use with metal sheeting and includes a thermoplastic adhesive having an adhesive layer and an outer layer. The polymer film is mechanically and chemically bonded to the metal sheeting through use of heat lamination of the thermoplastic adhesive layer. The thermoplastic layer includes an extrudable thermoplastic resin reacted with a polar compound, and contains a particulate filler, and optional quantities of an additional thermoplastic resin. The polymer film can be of a single or multi-layer construction, with one layer containing a thermoplastic adhesive polar compound, which is heat laminated to the metal sheet, a core layer that can be modified to change the performance and characteristics of the film, and an outer layer composed of a high abrasion and impact resistant polymer. The polymer film provides the metal sheeting with increased protection from the elements, low friction surface, resistance to chemicals and abrasion.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2011Publication date: March 15, 2012Applicant: TEE GROUP FILMS, INC.Inventors: Scott W. Wollack, Thomas H. Malpass

Publication number: 20120021662Abstract: The present invention relates to a laminated material and a method for making the same. The laminated material includes a main layer, a surface layer and an adhesion layer. The main layer at least includes a first polymer resin. The surface layer is disposed on the main layer, the material of the surface layer is a second polymer resin, and the solid content of the second polymer resin is less than that of the first polymer resin. The adhesion layer is disposed under the main layer, and the material of the adhesion layer is thermoplastic resin which is adhesive when being heated, so that the laminated material can be directly attached to another element, thereby simplifying the process and reducing cost.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2011Publication date: January 26, 2012Applicant: SAN FANG CHEMICAL INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventors: CHUNG-CHIH FENG, YUNG-YU FU, KUN-LIN CHIANG, JUNG-CHING CHANG, CHIH-CHENH LIN, CHUN-WEI WU, PEI-HUO HUANG, I-PENG YAO
