A method for producing the printed linerless face laminate is also described.

The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a gel nail sticker including: forming an adhesive layer by applying an adhesive on a first film layer 10; forming a base printing layer having at least one color on the first film layer; forming a first gel layer having flexibility on the base printing layer; and forming a second gel layer by mixing a resin composition having a —NCO functional group with a coating solution containing a resin composition having an —OH functional group and a UV curable composition on the first gel layer, in which the forming of the second gel layer includes forming the second gel layer including a urethane coating film having a urethane bond by causing a urethane reaction between the resin composition having the —OH functional group and the resin composition having the —NCO functional group.

A method for manufacturing a linerless label web (100, 200, 500) comprising a direct thermal printable coating and a patterned pressure sensitive adhesive (120) is provided. The method comprises arranging a substrate comprising the direct thermal printable coating as a face stock (110, 510, 610, 710), applying water-based adhesive coating (520a, 620a, 720a) onto the face stock (110, 510, 610, 710), providing the face stock (110, 510, 610, 710) with alternating adhesion areas and adhesion-free areas in a transversal direction of the face stock, ensuring the adhesion-free areas with a pre-determined level of moisture, and thermally drying the water-based adhesive coating (520a, 620a, 720a) into the pressure sensitive adhesive (120).

The disclosure relates to a mechanically recyclable label (1) comprising a face (2) and an adhesive (4). The face (2) comprises ethylene containing polymer and the adhesive (4) comprises pressure sensitive adhesive. The pressure sensitive adhesive comprises at least 15 wt. % of a base polymer, at least 25 wt. % of a tackifier and at least 10 wt. % of a plasticizer. The base polymer, the tackifier and the plasticizer are colourless and odourless. The base polymer is a polyolefin. The mechanically recyclable label (1) is mechanically recyclable with packaging material comprising ethylene containing polymer. The disclosure further relates to a label laminate (8), a method for manufacturing a label laminate (8), a labelled item (101), as well as to use of a label (1) and of a label laminate (8). The disclosure also relates to use of a waste matrix of the label laminate for producing granulates of recycled plastic.

Crosslinkable pressure sensitive adhesive precursors containing hydrocarbon tackifiers can have content of no more than 3%, and can be crosslinked to provide pressure sensitive adhesives.

Compositions comprising complexes of 1-methylcyclopropene and α-cyclodextrin, and articles including the composition, are provided. Methods for using the compositions and articles in delaying the maturation of fruits, vegetables, and plants are also provided.

Disclosed are pre-cure RFID-enabled bead labels based on an RFID inlay construction consisting of an aluminum antenna etched on to a high temperature resistant polyimide film that is connected to an integrated memory circuit positioned on the surface of the polyimide film. This RFID inlay being further inserted into an overall label construction having a plurality of layers that include, for example, a plurality of polyester layers and a plurality of high temperature resistant adhesive layers that bond/adhere layers together, the plurality of layers further protecting and insulating the RFID inlay while the label is bonded to the external bead (or sidewall) of a tire. The compositions/devices disclosed herein can be used for electronic identification when applied on rubber-based articles (e.g., tires) prior to being subjected to stress related to the vulcanization process and normal use of this article during the manufacturing process.

The present invention provides a hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive being highly environmentally-friendly, as well having sufficient adhesion, thermal stability and coating performance, and also having an excellent hand-peeling property and alkali-peeling property. The present invention relates to a hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive for labeling comprising: (A) a polar functional group-modified conjugated diene-based polymer, (B) an aliphatic polyester-based resin, and (C) a tackifier resin.

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.
