The present invention relates to a transfer polyester film. More particularly, the present invention relates to a transfer polyester film and a method for manufacturing the same, wherein the transfer polyester film has a coating layer with an excellent releasing property so that at the time of forming a hard coating layer in order to impart a surface gloss to an interior product, the transfer polyester film may be attached to a surface of the hard coating layer so as to allow the surface of the hard coating layer to be smoothly formed in a step of coating and curing a hard coating solution and may be removed after completely curing the hard coating layer.

A label having a silicone-free (water-based) release coating and compatible adhesive patch is provided. The label includes a thermally coated substrate having a silicone-free substrate overlaid thereon of a first surface. A second surface includes a microsphere adhesive layer.

A self-laminating rotating cable marker label is constructed of a transparent film having a first adhesive area, an adhesive-free smooth area, and a second adhesive area. A print-on area forms one side of the transparent film, the print-on area adapted to receive indicia identifying the cable about which the marker label is applied. A perforation extends across the transparent film providing a line of separation of the transparent film. When wrapped around a cable, the second adhesive area overlies the print-on area such that the cable identifying indicia is visible through the transparent second adhesive area. As the transparent film is wrapped around the cable, the first adhesive area adheres to the cable. The remainder of the transparent film is rotated, breaking the perforation, whereby the smooth area of the film in contact with the cable provides smooth rotation of the label around the cable.

Process for producing a pressure-sensitive adhesive comprising expanded microballoons, wherein the constituents for forming the adhesive are mixed in a first mixing assembly, the mixed adhesive is transferred into a second mixing assembly into which, at the same time, unexpanded microballoons are fed, the microballoons are expanded in the second mixing assembly or on exit from the second mixing assembly, the adhesive mixture with the expanded microballoons is shaped to a layer in a shaping assembly in which expanded microballoons which have broken through the surface are pressed into the layer surface and the layer of adhesive mixture together with the expanded microballoons are optionally applied to a weblike backing material.

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.

The present application is directed to an adhesive article comprising a pressure sensitive adhesive layer and a release layer in contact with the pressure sensitive adhesive layer. The release layer comprises a polyolefin block copolymer. Generally, the polyolefin block copolymer has a density of no greater than 0.9 g/cc.

A vehicle is wrapped by an adhesive film which is then slit by applying first tape to the vehicle having a longitudinally extending filament carried by the tape at a position spaced from the side edges. A second tape is applied over the film at the first tape body so as to bridge to each side of the filament and pulling the filament so as to tear through the film and the first ad second tapes body with the second tape applying a force to the film acting to reduce tendency of the film to pull away from the object during the cutting by the filament as the filament is pulled.
