Title:
PREPARATION OF NOVEL PHYSICAL TRANSFER ELEMENTS SUCH AS HOT STAMPING FOIL AND METHODS FOR USING THE SAME IN PRODUCING CHEMICALLY RESISTANT BONDS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004068240
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A technique is disclosed for transferring information from a hot stamping foil (6) to a substrate (3) wherein the adhesive used to attach the information to the substrate (3) is a solid, radiation-curable resin which is cured by radiation to for a tenaciously adhered bond between the substrate (3) and the information transferred. The radiation used for curing the resin is ultraviolet or electron beam radiation. The resulting bond is resistant to solvents, chemicals, detergents, heat and mechanical stresses likely to be encountered in the use of the substrates. The invention is capable of use with various substrates including polyvinylchloride, polyesters and/of paper-based products such as heavy cardboard. The information to be transferred to the substrate (2) by use of the hot stamping foil (6) may take the form of colors, metallic films, high refractive index materials, clear coats, adhesive coats, holographic images, lettering, pictures, artwork and the like.
