Disclosed herein are an antimicrobial reinforced floor and a method for preparing the same. In the method, a substrate and an impregnated paper impregnated with an inorganic antimicrobial agent and an organic antimicrobial agent are subjected to hot press forming to produce the antimicrobial reinforced floor.

A method for adhering a label, lettering, ink, a tattoo, sketch, design or color (“indicia”) to a substrate comprising the steps of: providing an indicia-bearing backing paper; moistening the indicia-bearing backing paper to form a moistened indicia-bearing layer; providing an adhesive layer between the moistened indicia-bearing layer and the substrate; placing the moistened indicia-bearing layer on the adhesive layer; allowing the indicia to become separated from the backing paper, leaving the indicia upon the substrate; and drying on the substrate.

According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of joining objects of hydrophilic polymeric biomaterials. In the method, an ionic liquid is applied onto the surfaces of the objects; the surfaces are pressed together; and the ionic liquid is removed. The method produces a product that can consist to 100% of biomaterial, with no synthetic polymer or chemicals remaining in the product.

The invention provides a highly-tensile kraft paper adhesive tape and a manufacturing process thereof. The adhesive tape includes a kraft paper layer, a plurality of yarn layers, a kraft paper layer and glue layers, which are fixedly connected in sequence; the specific number of layers of the plurality of yarn layers can be multi-layered according to actual situations, and the two adjacent yarn layers, and each kraft paper layer and the corresponding yarn layer, are fixedly connected by adhesion layers. Yarns in the yarn layers are classified into warp yarns and weft yarns, which are distributed crosswise. The tensile strength of the adhesive tape can be effectively improved by providing the two kraft paper layers to form a matrix of the adhesive tape. A plurality of yarn layers are provided between the two kraft paper layers to improve the structural stability of the moisture-permeable and water-proof adhesive tape.

An object is to provide a water-dispersible paper that exhibits excellent dispersibility in water. As a solution, a water-dispersible paper is provided, which has: a base paper that has a bulky layer containing 10% by weight or higher of a softwood pulp with a lumen width (l) to fiber diameter (D) ratio (l/D) of 0.60 or lower on average; and a water-soluble polymer impregnated into the base paper.

There is disclosed a sheet material 100 comprising: a core 104 comprising a water soluble polymer film layer 105, preferably comprising a polyvinyl alcohol polymer; a release agent 102 disposed on a first surface of the core 104; and an adhesive layer 108 disposed on a second surface of the core 104.

The paper reinforced tapes and reinforcement elements of this invention have improved repulpability, recyclability, compostability and biodegradability. Further, these reinforcement elements and paper reinforced tapes, despite being predominately paper, unexpectedly provide excellent container reinforcement properties and further can be used as opening tapes, closing tapes, tear tapes and carrying handles.

According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of joining objects of hydrophilic polymeric biomaterials. In the method, an ionic liquid is applied onto the surfaces of the objects; the surfaces are pressed together; and the ionic liquid is removed. The method produces a product that can consist to 100% of biomaterial, with no synthetic polymer or chemicals remaining in the product.

Multilayer laminates are described which include one or more layers or regions of printed images or graphics captured under an outer adhesive layer. The laminates include two layers of a release coating applied to opposite faces of a support layer. Also described are systems and methods for applying wound rolls of the multilayer laminates to a collection of articles.

An adhesive label with a water-based release coating and methods for applying the water-based release coating to the adhesive label are provided. The water-based release coating is a non-silicon based formulation having a fluorochemical. The water-based release coating can be applied in a single-pass process or a double-pass process when manufacturing the adhesive label.
