  • Patent number: 9199503
    Abstract: The invention describes a composition and method of providing an improved thermally responsive record material useful for linerless labels. The record material comprises a support having provided thereon on one surface an adhesive material, and on at least one other surface, a heat sensitive imaging coating. The method comprises applying to a first surface a first layer of a coating of a heat sensitive color-forming composition comprising a binder material and a substantially colorless dye precursor and an acidic developer material in substantially contiguous relationship. Over the first layer is applied a release coat overcoating the first layer. The release coat comprises a water soluble or water dispersible polymeric material, a polysiloxane release agent and excess platinum catalyst in excess of 150 ppm based on weight of the second coating. The release coat is cured at a temperature of from at or below 160° C., or even from 70° to 120° C.

  • Publication number: 20150144259
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for securing to and removing adhesive tapes from substrates, e.g., delicate substrates such as skin, are described. The methods include providing an adhesive tape comprising an adhesive layer and a support layer in contact with the adhesive layer. A first adhesion level between the adhesive layer and the support layer is, or can be controlled to be, less than a second adhesion level between the adhesive layer and the substrate. The methods further include applying the adhesive tape to the substrate by contacting the adhesive layer to the substrate while the support layer remains in contact with the adhesive layer; and removing the support layer from the substrate by separating the support layer from the adhesive layer.

  • Patent number: 9034449
    Abstract: The adhesive film includes a film-like adhesive layer, a light release separator and a heavy release separator that are laminated on either side of the adhesive layer, and a carrier film further laminated on the heavy release separator. The outer edges of the light release separator and the carrier film forming the outer layer extend outward beyond the outer edge of the adhesive layer and the heavy release separator forming the inner layer. The outer edge sections of the adhesive layer are thereby protected. The outer edge section of the carrier film is gripped and released first, after which the outer edge section of the light release separator is gripped and released, and finally the heavy release separator is released, thereby allowing each separator and the carrier film to be reliably and easily released in the prescribed order.
