Abstract
Abstract A pressure sensitive product with a decorative appearance is disclosed which comprises: (a) a substantially transparent plastic film; (b) a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive attached to the film, said layer containing non-leafing metallic flakes; and, (c) optionally, a release liner attached to the adhesive. Such a product is easily repositioned when first applied without substantial pressure to a desired substrate. After application of such pressure, the product exhibits superior adhesion as compared to a control product not containing the metallic flakes.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
87 words
In combination, a pressure sensitive adhesive with non-leafing metallic flakes having a predominant particle size of from 200 to 60 mesh homogeneously dispersed throughout said adhesive in an amount of from at least about 5% to about a maximum of about 20%, by weight of adhesive, to render a plastic film laminate containing a layer of said adhesive initially repositionable when applied to a substrate and to confer increased adhesion for said laminate after sufficient pressure is applied to the laminate to bond it to the substrate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
87 words
In combination, a pressure sensitive adhesive with non-leafing metallic flakes having a predominant particle size of from 200 to 60 mesh homogeneously dispersed throughout said adhesive in an amount of from at least about 5% to about a maximum of about 20%, by weight of adhesive, to render a plastic film laminate containing a layer of said adhesive initially repositionable when applied to a substrate and to confer increased adhesion for said laminate after sufficient pressure is applied to the laminate to bond it to the substrate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
12 words
The combination of claim 1 wherein the metallic flakes are aluminum flakes.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
The combination of claim 2 wherein the metallic flakes are present at from about 10 weight percent to about 15 weight percent of the adhesive.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
