Definitions
- the label includes a wax-like heat-release layer, a primer and protective coating, a design print which may be of several individual layers, and an overprint adhesive layer. After transfer, a permanent label is obtained which is resistant to scraping, abrasion, weathering, and the action of solvents and detergents.
- the present invention relates to a heat transfer decalcomania and, more particularly, to a heat transfer label and its method of application to a plastic container.
- the labels of the prior art have proven to be not en tirely satisfactory in that they often fail to pass the simple cellophane-tape test for adhesion (where conventional cellophane adhesive tape such as Scotch tape is placed against the transferred layer and then pulled off; if the cellophane tape partially delaminates the transferred layer from its substrate, the coating or laminate has failed the test). These labels have also failed to provide adequate chemical protection against such items as common household liquid detergents.
- an essentially five layer heat-transfer decalcomania label having a temporary backing or carrier; a heat release layer disposed along the upper surface of the temporary backing; a primer and protective coating disposed upon the upper surface of the heat release layer; a design print which may include a number of layers disposed upon the upper surface of the primer layer; and an overprint adhesive layer.
- the heat transfer decalcomania will thus be stratified as shown in Chart I.
- the label in accordance with the present invention provides lasting adhesion to the surface to which it is applied along with improved chemical and scuff resistance, as opposed to the heat transfer labels of the prior art which often fail to pass the simple cellophane-tape adhesion test and also fail to provide chemical protection against such items as common household liquid detergents.
- the temporary backing or carrier for the present label may comprise any suitable material such as plastic film or metal foil.
- paper may be common natural kraft paper or any other type of paper.
- the paper carrier requires no special sizing or coating although coated or sized paper may be used if desired.
- the heat release layer must be a wax-like material which is capable of softening or melting substantially during heat transfer so as to permit the temporary backing to separate from the remainder of the label.
- such material whether it be a blend or a homogenous material, must be capable of receiving the primer coat without having such primer sink into or be absorbed by the heat transfer material and without causing any migration, puddling or crawling of the primer on the heat release material.
- the low molecular weight partially oxidized polyethylene preferably has a molecular weight of between 1000 and 1800, a softening point of about -120 C., a penetration hardness of about 2.5- 5.5, an acid number of about 10-20 and a viscosity at C. of about -210 centipoises.
- the heat release layer is preferably coated on the backing paper at the rate of about 57 lbs. per ream of 3 paper.
- the carrier paper consists of 30 lb. supercalendered natural kraft paper having a thickness of about 1.7 mils
- the thickness of the heat release layer will be about 0.4 mil or about A of the thickness of the paper backing.
- the release layer coated backing paper is then print coated with the primer and protective coating.
- This coating is preferably a wax-free vinyl acrylic lacquer or varnish. Such a material is easily printed over the polyethylene release layer and in addition forms a good base for the rinting of the ink design.
- the primer and protective coating may be applied to the release layer by the gravure process and is preferably applied in such a manner so that its printed area is larger than that of the print to follow.
- This layer serves two functions in that it provides a primer and foundation for the design print and prevents the inks in the design from migrating or striking into the release layer during the label formation; in addition, it provides chemical and scuif resistance for the label after it has been transferred.
- the design. print is coated directly on the primer coating in a manner dependent upon the exact nature of the design.
- the inks utilized in the design print may vary from one to six colors depending upon the label and these separate inks are generally coated or printed in separate steps.
- the inks used are the conventional chlorinated rubber resin type inks.
- an overprint adhesive layer is applied on top of the design print.
- the adhesive layer comprises a polyamide and is preferably applied as a lacquer solution.
- the adhesive layer is applied in such a manner that its printed area is larger than that of the design print.
- the purpose of the adhesive layer is to provide adhesion for the label when it is transferred to the labeling surface.
- the heat transfer label is utilized by bringing the overprint adhesive layer in contact with the surface to be labeled, e.g. a plastic container. While the label and the container are in contact, transfer is accomplished by applying heat and pressure, preferably to the back of the temporary carrier.
- Apparatus for carrying out the transfer may vary considerably from the use of a simple electric iron to the apparatus described in the Von Hofe Pat. No. 2,667,003 or to the apparatus described in the copending Bliss application Ser. No. 473,290, filed July 20, 1965, now Pat. No. 3,434,902. If desired, it is an advantage to carry out the labeling procedure described in the copending Peppler application Ser. No. 519,964 filed Jan. 11, 1966, now abandoned.
- the heat release layer will melt or soften and the adhesive overprint will bond to the labeling surface of the container.
- the paper backing is then removed leaving the adhesive overprint, the design print, the protective coating, and a portion of the heat release layer strongly attached to the plastic container in a manner shown in Chart II.
- the permanent label comprises four layers as seen by Chart II.
- the adhesive coat previously the uppermost layer in Chart I, now becomes the bottom layer through which the label is bonded to the labeling surface, e.g. the plastic surface of the container.
- the decorative print layer Immediately above the adhesive is the decorative print layer.
- the protective layer Above the print layer and aifording chemical and scuif resistance thereto is the protective layer, previously the primer. A portion of the release coating becomes the uppermost layer and this serves to provide added chemical and scuff protection.
- the coating on the backing paper is applied at the rate of 10 lbs. per ream.
- the coated backing paper is then print coated with a protective layer using regular varnish etch cylinder 32 micronsline screen1520 wall with a wax-free vinyl acrylic lacquer (RO120.2, Frederick H. Levey Co., Inc.).
- the design print is then printed over the vinyl acrylic layer using red and blue Parlon ink (Hercules Powder Company), a chlorinated rubber resin ink.
- an adhesive layer comprising a solution of thermoplastic polyamide resin in lacquer form.
- a decalcomania, formed as above, is then passed in face-to-face contact with a polyethylene bottle, the surface of which has been treated to render it more print receptive in a conventional manner, such as by flame contact or corona discharge.
- Heat and pressure are applied to the temporary backing to eifect pressing of adhesion layer against the polyethylene.
- the polyethylene layer softens sufficiently to permit removal of the temporary backing.
- the adhesive overprint bonds to the polyethylene surface of the bottle.
- the temporary backing is stripped from the label with about half of the release layer remaining with the temporary backing and about half'remaining with the label.
- the bottles so coated are tested to determine the adherence of the label thereto.
- the label is found to adhere tenaciously and to be abrasive resistant and also highly resistant to chemical action.
- Example II The procedure of Example I is carried out with the following distinctions.
- the carrier paper is 30# supercalendered natural kraft.
- the partially oxidized, low molecular weight polyethylene of the release layer has a molecular weight of about 1400, a ring and ball softening point of about 102 C., a penetration hardness of about 4.4, an acid number of about 14 and a viscosity at 125 C. of about centipoises.
- the print layer comprises six distinct colors applied as separate layers.
- Decalcomanias of the above type are. found to print and to transfer in a 'highly satisfactory manner. The resultant products are found to be tenaciously adhered and to be highly resistant to both abrasion and chemicals.
- said heat release layer comprising a wax-like material of a low molecular weight polyethylene having a softening point of about 80120 C. and adapted to melt during transfer, a penetration hardness of about 1.5 to and which is capable of receiving thereon a wax-free vinyl acrylic varnish without migration, puddling or crawling;
- a permanent primer and protective coating disposed on the upper surface of said heat release layer, said primer and protective coating comprising a waxfree vinyl acrylic varnish;
- a permanent design print disposed on the upper surface of said primer coating, said design comprising at least one layer of decorative ink and having an area less than the area of said primer and protective layer;
- a permanent overprint polyamide adhesive layer disposed upon said design print and extending over an area larger than said design print, said adhesive layer comprising a polyamide resin.
- said heat release layer comprises partially oxidized polyethyl- 6 ene having a M.W. of about 1000-1800, a penetration hardness of about 2.5-5.5, an acid number of about 10 20, and a viscosity at 125 C. of about 170-210 centipoises.
- a label in accordance with claim 4 wherein said polyethylene heat release layer has a M.W. of about 1400, a softening point of about C., an acid number of about 14 and a viscosity at C. of about 190.
- thermoplastic wall a thermoplastic wall
- the overprint adhesive of claim 1 adhesively bonded to the outside of said thermoplastic wall;
