Latest Patents
Gleim holds a patent for an ink jet printable heat transfer paper. This patent describes a unique heat transfer material that features cold release properties. The invention consists of multiple layers of coatings applied to a suitable substrate, typically paper. The first optional layer coating consists of a pigmented coating bound together with a synthetic or natural binder, applied in sufficient quantity to level and densify the surface of the substrate. The second coating, a silicone coating with controlled surface energy, allows for good wetting and adhesion of subsequent aqueous coatings while ensuring easy removal from the heat transfer after cooling. A third wash layer is applied over the silicone release layer, which must easily wet and adhere to the silicone to prevent detachment during handling. The wash layer includes thermoplastic polymers, waxes, and dispersions of non-water soluble plasticizers and antioxidants. Finally, an ink receptive layer consists of a low binder thermoplastic organic pigmented coating that aids in dye retention and reduces wet bleed and wash out.
