A packaged flexible film is described. The packaged flexible film includes (i) a cylindrical core having an outer surface; (ii) a supply of flexible film wound about the core with a leading edge adjacent the outer surface and forming a connection ridge along the outer surface; and (iii) a cover strip comprising a compressed compressible cover material covering said connection ridge. Also described are a packaging system for flexible film and a multilayer flexible film packaging tape.

Packaged flexible film and flexible film packaging system therefor

Optical products that include a composite coating, deposited on a substrate, provided with at least one bilayer having a first layer and a second layer, each provided with a binding group component which together form a complementary binding group pair. The at least one bilayer comprises a pigment blend that includes: a) at least two pigments that, when mixed together and formed into a bilayer, exhibit a color reflection value that is less than about 2.5; and b) one or more pigments that when mixed and formed into a bilayer selectively block visible light in a wavelength range of interest.

Selective light-blocking optical products having a neutral reflection

Optical products that comprise a composite coating having multiple bilayers of a first layer and a second layer, each provided with a binding group component which together form a complementary binding group pair, the multiple bilayers comprising: at least one bilayer a) comprised of a first pigment or pigment blend that exhibits a color reflection value that is less than about 2.5; at least one bilayer b) comprised of a pigment or pigment blend that selectively blocks visible light in a wavelength range of interest; and at least one bilayer c) comprised of a second pigment or pigment blend that exhibits a color reflection value that is less than about 2.5, wherein the optical product selectively blocks visible light in the wavelength range of interest, while exhibiting a color reflection value that is less than about 2.5.

An electromagnetic energy-absorbing optical product useful as a composite for coloring an opaque article such as a paint composite or car wrap is disclosed. The electromagnetic energy-absorbing optical product includes a polymeric substrate and a composite coating with the composite coating including first and second layers each containing a binding group component which together form a complimentary binding group pair.

Electromagnetic energy-absorbing optical product and method for making

An electromagnetic energy-absorbing optical product useful particularly for automotive and architectural window films is disclosed. The electromagnetic energy-absorbing optical product includes a polymeric substrate and a composite coating with the composite coating including first and second layers each containing a binding group component which together form a complimentary binding group pair.

An environmentally acceptable catalyst, coating system, and methods for thermal cure silicone release coatings that utilize bismuth ('Bi') catalyst to retain properties of tin ('Sn')-catalyzed systems but do not have the toxicity and environmental hazards associated therewith. The coating systems and methods also provide a laminate that shows reduced orange peel distortion over time compared with tin (&#x201c;Sn&#x201d;)-catalyzed systems and methods.

Catalysts for thermal cure silicone release coatings

A plastics film is provided which is filled with a filler, has diffuse reflective properties and is coated with a coating containing a photosensitive organic compound. The film is useful in the production of information storage devices by combining it with a perforated mask disposed on the side of the film which bears the coating.
