The present invention provides a sheet having an elastomer layer having a Shore A hardness of less than 40, wherein the elastomer layer has an adhesion force to stainless steel of not more than 11 oz/in at 90 degree peel strength.

A direct thermal printable construct, such as a ticket, game piece, coupon, collection piece, label, security card, or voucher includes a thermally printable medium and a metallized layer bonded directly or indirectly to the thermally printable medium. A thermosensitive imaging layer of the thermally printable medium is printable by exposing the metallized layer to localized heat of a thermal printer for inducing local changes in the color of the thermosensitive imaging layer that are obscured from view through both the metallized layer and a base substrate of the thermally printable medium. One or more areas of the metallized layer are arranged to be removable by a scratching action using a fingernail or coin for revealing the underlying local changes in the color of the thermosensitive imaging layer.

The invention refers to closures or covers 20 of containers for facial tissues, wipes and in particular wet wipes, diapers and in general items that require to remain within a container 50, with no direct contact with the environment. The cover 20 includes an inner layer 22 and an outer layer 24, both having an inner face and an outer face, whereby the inner faces of the both layers 22, 24 comprise means to adhere to each other. The outer face of the inner layer 22 is at least partially coated with reclosable adhesive to adhere, to a container 50. The inner layer 22 has a detachable segment 35b, which adheres to the outer layer 24 and which has an outer face that is part of the outer face of the inner layer 22 and that it is at least partially covered with reclosable adhesive. The inner layer 22 and/or the outer layer 24 comprises means 34, 36 to allow separation and subsequent withdrawal of the detachable segment 35b from the cover 20. Further, the invention suggests a method for producing a roll with covers 20.

A polarizing plate laminate according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a polarizing plate; a first adhesive layer and a first separate film which are provided on one surface of the polarizing plate; and a second adhesive layer and a second separate film which are provided on the other surface of the polarizing plate, in which the second separate film has a total thickness of more than 75 μm and 150 μm or less.

In a preferred embodiment, a composite panel with a smooth outer surface, ready for painting with or without addition of primer, may be created by constructing a panel layup assembly upon a mold, the panel layup assembly including a composite panel having a core and a resin formulation, and a release film between the mold and the composite panel, where a smooth release surface of the release film is in contact with the composite panel upon construction; initiating curing of the composite panel at a first temperature within a lowermost ten percent of a curing temperature range of the resin formulation; continuing curing of the composite panel at a second temperature above the lowermost ten percent of the curing temperature range; and completing curing of the composite panel at a third temperature below the second temperature.

A display panel manufacturing method for solving the phenomenon of Newton's rings on a display screen is provided, including: conducting a roughening treatment to a bonding surface of a frame of a backlight module in order to improve a securing force of the frame to an adhesive layer and a film thereon; reducing a release force of a protective film from the film above the backlight module in order to reduce a pulling force to the film below the protective film and the adhesive layer below the film when peeling off the protective film from the film; and bonding the film to the frame of the backlight module with an extended bonding time in a bonding process in order to increase adhering strength between the film and the bonding surface of the frame of the backlight module.

A retroreflective article including a binder layer and a plurality of retroreflective elements. Each retroreflective element includes a transparent microsphere partially embedded in the binder layer. At least some of the retroreflective elements include a reflective layer that is a locally-laminated reflective layer that is embedded between the transparent microsphere and the binder layer. At least some of the locally-laminated reflective layers may be localized reflective layers.

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards methods and apparatus for molding-in gaskets that serve as light blockers, within the grooves of a moving planar work material. The gaskets comprise of a hot melt adhesive material that is in a molten state above a particular temperature and gets solidified below a particular temperature. Another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is directed towards a planar work material having grooves that are filled with molded-in gaskets, wherein the gaskets are made up of a hot melt adhesive material. The gaskets made of the hot melt adhesive material bond securely with the panels because of inherent adhesive properties, and provide structural stability to the light panels. Another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is directed towards the use of a hot melt adhesive material as the molding material for molding-in gaskets within the grooves of a planar work material.

A method for manufacturing a thermal transfer from a high-loft substrate such as velvet. The method begins with a high-loft material sheet. The sheet is registered in a vacuum press, and a vacuum is applied to one side. A sublimation graphic is printed onto an opposing side of the high-loft material sheet. Next, an adhesive layer is laminated onto the opposing side of the printed sheet. The sheet is optionally laser-etched on the printed side, and is laser-cut into a desired shape. A protective release sheet is applied over the printed graphic. The method makes it possible to sublimation-print the transfer onto high-loft fabric such as velvet and yet still retain fine graphical registration and detail.
