Abstract

Abstract The present invention relates to the manufacturing of adhesive tapes having a backing consisting of a polypropylene or other olefinic polymer or copolymer film, one side of which is coated by elastomeric or plastomeric adhesive systems (as applied from solutions, emulsions, in a molted condition, etc., according to the technologies known in the art), the other side being coated with or without corona or flame treatment, with antiadhesive systems which facilitate the unwinding operation of the tape either in the processing and in the application, but at the same time may receive printing inks of the flexo-roto-silk-screen type inks suitable for the printing of polyolefinic films. The application of antiadhesive systems which are ink compatible can be carried out either on line, namely during the tape coating process, and on tapes already coated by means of the duly modified printing machine. In some cases there is foreseen the application, immediately after the printing process, of an additional antiadhesive layer to facilitate the unwinding operation and application of the printed tapes.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 91 words
A process for making printable adhesive tape, said process comprising the steps of: providing a backing of polypropylene or other olefinic copolymers, said backing having an adhesive side and a back side; treating said backing to increase its surface tension; coating said adhesive side with a priming layer and an adhesive layer; coating said back side with a release lacquer, said release lacquer not requiring primer, and being compatible with printing inks, said release lacquer being selected from the group consisting of chlorinated polyolefins, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and acrylonitrile-stearyl acetate copolymer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 91 words
A process for making printable adhesive tape, said process comprising the steps of: providing a backing of polypropylene or other olefinic copolymers, said backing having an adhesive side and a back side; treating said backing to increase its surface tension; coating said adhesive side with a priming layer and an adhesive layer; coating said back side with a release lacquer, said release lacquer not requiring primer, and being compatible with printing inks, said release lacquer being selected from the group consisting of chlorinated polyolefins, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and acrylonitrile-stearyl acetate copolymer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 21 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein said back side of said backing layer is treated to increase the surface tension.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 32 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein said release lacquer is applied to said backing immediately before printing, with or without said back side being treated for increasing the surface tension thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 40 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein said back side, after being printed, is further coated with an antiadhesive compound selected from vinyl esters of long chain fatty alcohols, polyvinyl carbamates, and hemiamides or hemiesters of long chain aliphatic compounds.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 29 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein said antiadhesive compound is in the form of a solution in an organic solvent or in the form of an aqueous dispersion.
