Dry transfer decal

Claim 2

A dry transfer decal comprising, in combination: a flexible carrier layer as a substrate; a high adhesion characteristic lacquer printed in a desired pattern as a first layer on the carrier layer, the high adhesion characteristic lacquer comprising the following mixture: (a) 10-25% by weight of a solvent soluble flexible urethane resin; (b) 0-2% by weight nitrocellulose; (c) 0-5% by weight of a plasticiser; (d) 30-60% by weight of a solvent, said mixture having extensibility as a dry film of between 50 and 500%; at least one subsequent printed pattern layer on the first layer; and a high tack adhesive layer on said printed pattern layer, said high tack adhesive comprising the following mixture: (a) 10-30% by weight high molecular weight polyvinyl ether; (b) 5-20% by weight tackifying resins; (c) 5-20% by weight plasticising resin; (d) 20-30% by weight solvent; and (e) 2-8% by weight highly dispersed silica, said high adhesion characteristic lacquer defining means to retain the printed layer and the high tack adhesive layer on the substrate until the high tack adhesive layer is subjected to localize release pressure, said high adhesion characteristic lacquer having flexibility greater than that of the flexible carrier substrate.

Claim 3

The decal of claim 1 wherein said carrier layer is from the group consisting of polystyrene, modified polystyrene, polyester, rigid vinyl and cellulose acetate film.

Claim 4

The decal of claim 1 including a sequence of printed ink layers on the first layer to provide a multicolored decal.

Claim 5

The decal of claim 1 including an additional clear film over the printed layers.

Claim 6

The decal of claim 1 wherein the printed layers comprise one or more of the following formulations (A-E) printed sequentially on the first layer: ______________________________________ A B C D E ______________________________________ Chinaclay 10.0 10.0 10.0 10.0 3.0 Titanium dioxide 20.0 -- -- -- -- Carbon black -- 10.0 -- -- -- Ultramarine Blue -- -- 20.0 -- -- Naphthanil Red -- -- -- 10.0 -- Nitro cellulose 18.8 21.6 18.8 21.6 24.1 Polymeric Plasticizer 11.2 13.3 11.2 13.3 16.6 Cellosolve acetate 29.3 33.8 29.3 33.8 53.7 Di-octyl phthalate 10.7 11.3 10.7 11.3 2.6 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% ______________________________________

Claim 7

A dry transfer decal comprising in combination: a flexible carrier layer as a substrate;

Claim 8

A dry transfer decal comprising in combination: a flexible carrier layer as a substrate;

Claim 9

a high adhesion characteristic lacquer printed in a desired pattern as a first layer on the carrier layer, the high adhesion characteristic lacquer consisting essentially of (a) 21.60% urethane resin; (b) 0.27% nitrocellulose; (c) 0.16% polyester resin plasticizer; (d) 0.01% dioctyl phthalate; (e) 44.56% cellose acetate; and (f) 33.40% butyl cellosolve said mixture having extensibility as a dry film of between 50 and 500%; at least one subsequent printed pattern layer on the first layer; and a high tack adhesive layer on the printed layer, said high tack adhesive layer comprising the following mixture: (a) 10-30% by weight, high molecular weight polyvinyl ether; (b) 5-20% by weight tactifying resins; (c) 5-20% by weight plasticizing resin; (d) 23% by weight solvent; and (e) 2-8% by weight high dispersed silica, said high adhesion characteristic lacquer defining means to retain the printed layer and the high tack adhesive layer on the substrate until the high tack adhesive layer is subjected to localized release pressure.

Claim 10

a high adhesion characteristic lacquer printed in a desired pattern as a first layer on the carrier layer, the high adhesion characteristic lacquer consisting essentially of (a) 21.60% urethane resin; (b) 0.27% nitrocellulose; (c) 0.16% polyester resin plasticizer; (d) 0.01% dioctyl phthalate; (e) 44.56% cellose acetate; and (f) 33.40% butyl cellosolve said mixture having extensibility as a dry film of between 50 and 500%; at least one subsequent printed pattern layer on the first layer; and a high tack adhesive layer on the printed layer, said high tack adhesive layer comprising the following mixture: (a) 10-30% by weight, high molecular weight polyvinyl ether; (b) 5-20% by weight tactifying resins; (c) 5-20% by weight plasticizing resin; (d) 23% by weight solvent; and (e) 2-8% by weight high dispersed silica, said high adhesion characteristic lacquer defining means to retain the printed layer and the high tack adhesive layer on the substrate until the high tack adhesive layer is subjected to localized release pressure.
