Disclosed herein is an acrylic resin film that is less likely to whiten on bending when laminated on a plastic molded body or the like, has well-balanced physical properties such as high surface hardness, excellent transparency, and excellent cracking resistance, and is therefore suitable for use in decorative molding. The acrylic resin film is obtained by forming, into a film, a methacrylic resin composition (D) containing a specific methacrylate-based resin (A), a rubber-containing four-stage graft copolymer (B) containing rubber particles having an average particle size of 0.2 to 0.4 m, and a rubber-containing two-layer graft copolymer (C) containing rubber particles having an average particle size of 0.02 to 0.15 m.

Embodiments disclosed herein provide for multi-layered assemblies comprising a carrier having opposed sides; a heat sealable layer disposed on at least a portion of one of said sides of the carrier, said heat sealable layer comprising a partially salt neutralized ionomer; and a polymeric film comprising polyurethane and having opposed sides, wherein one of said sides of the polymeric film in at least in partial contact with said heat sealable layer, methods of making the same as well as other variations.

An environmentally friendly laminate structure that provides improved print properties, wherein the laminate structure comprises a print film and an overlaminate film. The print film includes a print layer and a support layer. In one embodiment the print film further comprises an adhesive layer. In another embodiment the print film even further comprises a release liner. The print layer comprises a polymeric material and a silicone additive. The overlaminate material comprises a polymeric material. The overlaminate material may further comprise a functional material.

The invention describes a double-sided, carrierless self-adhesive tape which can be used in particular for achieving very durable adhesive bonding of a variety of articles. This double-sided, carrierless self-adhesive tape is composed of a homogeneously crosslinked pressure-sensitive acrylate hotmelt composition of single-layer construction, which may have been lined with release materials such as siliconized release papers or release films. The double-sided, carrierless pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is characterized in that it is composed of a photoinitiator-free, thermally homogeneously crosslinked acrylate hotmelt which is crosslinked predominantly by way of urethane units. It is notable in particular for the fact that it is homogeneously chemically crosslinked through the layer and, in contrast to acrylate layers crosslinked by radiation (UV/EBC), does not exhibit any profile of crosslinking through the layer. It can be used in particular as an adhesive transfer tape for the permanent attachment of articles to a variety of substrates.

A primer-less coating composition for facestock comprises: a binder being a water-dispersible polymer; an ethylenically unsaturated compound which is aqueous-dispersible and miscible with or bonded to said water-dispersible polymer, wherein said ethylenically unsaturated compound is able to form a covalent bond with an ink; and a crosslinker, wherein said crosslinker is suitable for binding the coating to the facestock. The coating composition may be applied to a substrate to form a printable film. A printed film in accordance with the invention may be used in a label, for example for use on a container such as a bottle.
