US Patent:

6517661, Feb 11, 2003
Filed:

Jun 6, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/875222
Inventors:

Thomas C. McNutt - Newark DE
Bryan Bellafore - Newark DE
Paul D. Fussey - West Chester PA
Kenneth J. Longmoore - Newark DE
Assignee:

Applied Extrusion Technologies, Inc. - New Castle DE
International Classification:

B32B 3128
US Classification:

1562733, 1562755, 1562757, 156DIG 28
Abstract:

This invention relates to a labeling system for continuously applying a layer of a radiation curable adhesive, e. g. , a UV curable adhesive, to plastic, sheet fed, cut and stack, labels, irradiating the adhesive on the labels to render the adhesive sufficiently tacky to effectively adhere the labels to containers in a commercial labeling machine and thereafter applying the labels to discrete containers through the sufficiently tacky adhesive layer. The plastic labels can be clear, opaque (including metallized) plastic films and can be retained in a dispensing magazine prior to the application of the radiation curable adhesive to the labels.

US Patent:

7316848, Jan 8, 2008
Filed:

Jan 4, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/028834
Inventors:

Kenneth Longmoore - Newark DE, US
Assignee:

Applied Extrusion Technologies, Inc. (“AET”) - New Castle DE
International Classification:

B32B 27/08
US Classification:

428516, 428515
Abstract:

A multilayer, heat-sealable film includes at least a first outer layer and a second, heat-sealable inner layer having a first surface adhered to the outer layer and a second, opposed surface adapted to be heat sealed to and peeled from another surface. The first outer layer comprises a mixture of a polypropylene and a second polymer immiscible in the polypropylene, with the polypropylene constituting over 50% by weight of the mixture. The second layer is free of polybutylene and is formed predominantly of polymers from the group consisting of propylene-ethylene copolymers, ethylene-propylene-butene-1 terpolymers and propylene-butene-1 copolymers, wherein the propylene in the copolymers and terpolymers constitutes over 50%, by weight, of such copolymers and terpolymers. The films have a peel strength of less than 250 g/in. with peel separation taking place at the interface between the second layer and the first outer layer and/or through the first outer layer.

US Patent:

7569279, Aug 4, 2009
Filed:

Aug 4, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/462446
Inventors:

Kenneth Longmoore - Newark DE, US
Assignee:

Applied Extrusion Technologies, Inc. - New Castle DE
International Classification:

B32B 27/00
B32B 9/04
US Classification:

428447, 428500
Abstract:

A cold seal release film including a cold seal release layer employing a silicone oil slip agent therein. The release layer is oxidatively treated to a level to reduce the cold seal release force by at least 25%, as compared to the cold seal release force without oxidative treatment of the release layer. A method of forming the cold seal release film with an improved cold seal release layer as described above also forms a part of the present invention.
