20080280037MULTI-LAYER ASSEMBLY, MULTI-LAYER STRETCH RELEASING PRESSURE-SENSITIVE ADHESIVE ASSEMBLY, AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME - A method of making a pressure-sensitive adhesive assembly, the method including coating a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition that includes a silicone polymer on a first major surface of a first release liner to form a first layer, coating a composition on the first layer to form a second layer, the composition of the second layer including an elastomer, at least one of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of the first layer and the composition of the second layer being in an uncured state during the coating of the second layer, and curing at least one of the first layer and the second layer, the first pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of the multi-layer assembly exhibiting a release force to the release liner of no greater than 100 gram per 0.5 inch width after the multi-layer assembly has been stored for 46 days at 120° F.11-13-2008
20080280086MULTI-LAYER ASSEMBLY, MULTI-LAYER STRETCH RELEASING PRESSURE-SENSITIVE ADHESIVE ASSEMBLY, AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME - A multi-layer assembly that includes a release liner, a first layer disposed on the release liner, the first layer including a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition that includes a silicone polymer that includes silicone polyurea block copolymers, polydiorganosiloxane polymers, or combinations thereof, a second layer disposed on the first layer, the second layer including a composition that includes an elastomer, the composition of the second layer being different from the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of the first layer, the first layer of the multi-layer assembly exhibiting a release force to the release liner of no greater than 100 gram per 0.5 inch width after the multi-layer assembly has been stored for 46 days at 120° F.11-13-2008
20090229732STRETCH RELEASABLE ADHESIVE - A stretch releasable adhesive article includes first and second opposed major surfaces and a pull tab, and at least a portion of at least one of the first and second major surfaces is adhesive. The adhesive article has a cross-sectional area—as measured normal to the axis defined by a stretch release force applied to the pull tab during the stretch release process—that has a defined width to thickness ratio, and the adhesive article may have a visible light transmission of at least about 90%, and a haze of no greater than 5%.09-17-2009
20110126968STRETCH RELEASABLE ADHESIVE TAPE - An adhesive tape that is stretch releasable, articles that contain the adhesive tape, and uses of the adhesive tape are disclosed. The adhesive tapes include a backing layer that is adjacent to at least one pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The backing layer typically is optically clear and includes a poly(alkylene)copolymer. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is a silicone-based adhesive composition. In many embodiments, the adhesive tape is optically clear.06-02-2011

20080241435NON-TRANSPARENT MICROVOIDED BIAXIALLY STRETCHED FILM, ITS USE IN SYNTHETIC PAPER AND AN IMAGE RECORDING ELEMENT COMPRISING SAME - A non-transparent microvoided biaxially stretched self-supporting non-laminated polymeric film, the film comprising linear polyester as a continuous phase and dispersed uniformly therein an amorphous high polymer comprising at least one chain-polymerized block with a higher glass transition temperature than the glass transition temperature of the continuous phase and isotactic poly(4-methyl-1-pentene), wherein the linear polyester consists essentially of aromatic dicarboxylate and aliphatic dimethylene monomer units, wherein the combined concentration of the uniformly dispersed amorphous high polymer and isotactic poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) in the film is 5 to 35% by weight; the use of the above-described non-transparent microvoided biaxially stretched film in synthetic paper; an image recording element comprising the above-described non-transparent microvoided biaxially stretched film; and a process for producing a transparent pattern comprising the step of: image-wise application of heat optionally supplemented by the application of pressure to the above-described non-transparent microvoided biaxially stretched film.10-02-2008
20080241769NON-TRANSPARENT MICROVOIDED AXIALLY STRETCHED FILM, PRODUCTION PROCESS THEREFOR AND PROCESS FOR OBTAINING A TRANSPARENT PATTERN THEREWITH - A film consisting essentially of a continuous phase linear polyester matrix having dispersed therein a non-crosslinked random SAN-polymer and dispersed or dissolved therein at least one ingredient from the group of ingredients consisting of inorganic opacifying pigments, whitening agents, colorants, UV-absorbers, light stabilizers, antioxidants and flame retardants, wherein the film is white, microvoided, non-transparent and axially stretched; the linear polyester matrix has monomer units consisting essentially of at least one aromatic dicarboxylic acid, at least one aliphatic diol and optionally at least one aliphatic dicarboxylic acid; and the weight ratio of the linear polyester to the non-crosslinked SAN-polymer is in the range of 2.0:1 to 19.0:1, wherein one of the said at least one aliphatic dimethylene monomer units is selected from the group consisting of neopentylene and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethylene in a concentration of 30 mole % or less of all aliphatic dimethylene monomer units; the use of the film as or in synthetic paper; an image recording element comprising the film; a process for the preparing of the non-transparent microvoided axially stretched film; and a process for obtaining a transparent pattern therewith.10-02-2008
