The aim of the invention is to provide polyester/primer/metallic coating composite films having good adherence of the metallic coating in dry and humid conditions. Said films also form a good gas barrier: oxygen permeability less than or equal to 0.8 cc/m2/d; water vapour permeability less than or equal to 0.3 g/m2/d. To this end, the invention concerns a composite film comprising a polyester substrate, at least one coating adhering on at least one of the faces of the substrate and at least one layer of primer for cross-linked adhesion between the substrate and the coating. Said primer comprises at least one acrylic and/or methacrylic polymer P1, at least one acrylic and/or methacrylic polymer P2 different from P1, at least one cross-linking agent, and, preferably, at least one polyester that is soluble or dispersible in water: —P1 having a gel content TG1>70% by dry weight with respect to P1; —P2 having a gel content TG2≤TG1 and ≤20% by dry weight, with respect to P2; —P1 having a surface-grafted free weak acid content≥0.8 in meq/g of polymer; —[P2]≤60% by weight on dry by weight in respect to P1+P2. The method for producing said film, the adhering primer, and the articles obtained using said film, also form part of the present invention.

A laminate comprising a substrate layer; a contact adhesive layer comprising a contact adhesive agent having at least one of chloroprene rubber or acrylic copolymers, as well as microspheres having an average particle size of 0.5 μm or greater in the contact adhesive layer, wherein the contact adhesive layer contains from 5 parts by mass to 500 parts by mass of the microspheres per 100 parts by mass of the contact adhesive agent, and the contact adhesive layer has a plurality of protruding portions because of the the microspheres.

The present disclosure relates to transparent flame-retardant coating compositions and labels including layers comprising the same. The coating composition comprises a high-hydroxyl value polymer, a crosslinker, and a flame-retardant additive comprising a phosphinate compound. The coating composition may be coated on a substrate such as a label. The coating composition forms a layer that advantageously has flame-retardant properties and is optically clear.

A primer is useful for adhering cured silicones to low energy plastic substrates. The primer is prepared from starting materials including a) an organoboron compound capable of forming a free radical generating species, and at least one of b) an organosilicon compound having, per molecule, at least one free radical reactive group and at least one other reactive group, and/or c) an organoborane liberating compound capable of reacting with starting material a) to liberate the free radical generating species. The method for forming the primer may further include use of d) an organic solvent, and e) a free radical polymerizable monomer, oligomer, macromonomer, or polymer.
