Multilayer laminates are described which include one or more layers or regions of printed images or graphics captured under an outer adhesive layer. The laminates include two layers of a release coating applied to opposite faces of a support layer. Also described are systems and methods for applying wound rolls of the multilayer laminates to a collection of articles.

Organopolysiloxane release coatings employing a higher molecular weight organopolysiloxane crosslinker having Si—H groups on not more than 67 mol percent of all siloxy groups of the organopolysiloxane crosslinker, and a lower molecular weight aliphatically unsaturated organopolysiloxane, cured by hydrosilylation with a hydrosilylation catalyst, produce strongly anchored release coatings which are able to be cured for shorter times and/or lower temperatures, and still offer a lower level of extractables than advanced release coatings employing precrosslinked unsaturated silicones.

An anti-wear composite structure includes an anti-wear layer that has a wear surface opposite an adhesive receiving surface and a thermosetting resin applied to the adhesive receiving surface. The thermosetting resin includes a reactive adhesive configured to bond the anti-wear composite structure to a substrate at an ambient temperature band via pressure-sensitive adhesion. The thermosetting resin has an onset to cure in the ambient temperature band and has a peak cure temperature greater than the ambient temperature band to mechanically and chemically bond the anti-wear composite structure to a substrate.

Uncured aqueous composition comprising surfactant and a blend of (a) a first sulfonated polyester having a glass transition temperature not greater than 75° C. that is not sulfonated polyethylene naphthalate, (b) a second, sulfonated polyester that is a sulfonated polyethylene naphthalate, (c) melamine-formaldehyde crosslinker, and (d) an epoxy silane coupling agent; and cured composition thereof. Compositions described herein are useful, for example, for making primed film for release liners applications.

This invention relates to a method for manufacturing a direct thermal linerless label web (100), the direct thermal linerless label web (100) comprising a face (110) having a first side (111) and a second side (112), the face comprising a direct thermal printable coating, wherein the method comprises supplying the face (110), and applying modified adhesive coating (121) on to a substrate (110, 611). The modified adhesive coating comprises water-based acrylic adhesive, and emulsified silicone additive. The method further comprises thermally drying the modified adhesive coating (121) on the substrate (110, 611) into a pressure sensitive adhesive coating (120). The substrate is the face (110) or a carrier material (611, 611a, 611b). This invention further relates to a direct thermal linerless label web (100), and a use of a direct thermal linerless label (100) in on-demand printing.

Provided is a curable silicone composition for a release agent which can form a release film having a silicone adhesive with a low release force even when thin and which does not reduce the adhesive strength of the silicone adhesive to other substrates upon releasing the release film. A release film and laminate are also provided. The curable silicone composition comprises: (A) a fluorine-containing organopolysiloxane mixture obtained by mixing the following components (A1) and (A2) at a mass ratio of 1/99 to 45/55: (A1) a fluoro(poly)ether modified organopolysiloxane having at least two alkenyl groups per molecule along with a fluoro(poly)ether-containing organic group; (A2) a fluoroalkyl group-containing organopolysiloxane having at least two alkenyl groups per molecule along with a fluoroalkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms; (B) an organopolysiloxane having at least three silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule; (C) a hydrosilylation reaction catalyst; and (D) an organic solvent.

An antimicrobial metallized thin film is provided that can be quickly and easily attached to surfaces of objects. This film includes a polymer substrate onto which a metallized layer is formed. The metallized layer comprises an exposed antimicrobial metal physical contact surface. Ions from this physical contact surface destroy the viral coating and ribonucleic acid of contacting viruses rendering the viruses inactive and noninfectious. The film can be attached via an adhesive layer disposed between and in contact with the polymer substrate and the communal surface. This arrangement allows the film to economically refurbish communal surfaces with a film overlay rather than completely replacing communal surfaces with antimicrobial materials. The film mitigates the likelihood of viruses such as coronaviruses, noroviruses, rhinoviruses, and the like from spreading due to contact with the refurbished communal surfaces.
