Microporous structures in face films are described for improving printability of the films. Also described are laminates and pressure sensitive adhesive laminates including the microporous structured face films. Various related methods are additionally described.

Face films and pressure sensitive laminates for printing

Printing layers and films for printing are disclosed. Methods for preparing such films also are disclosed.

Films for printing

The present invention is directed to a printed substrate including a multilayer film having the following layered configuration: a print layer having a thickness of at least about 0.6 mils, which is receptive to eco-solvent inks, mild-solvent inks, latex inks, UV inks, or combinations thereof, and where the print layer includes one or more of eco-solvent inks, mild-solvent inks, latex inks, UV inks, or combinations thereof; a tie layer; a core layer; and an adhesive layer.

Multilayer film for multi-purpose inkjet systems

The present invention relates to reactive purge compound for cleaning polymer processing equipment wherein the reactive purge compound that includes

Reactive purge compound for polymer purging

The present invention generally relates to optical films useful in the manufacture of polarizer plates, an improved method for producing polarizing plates, and a Liquid Crystal Display employing the same. More particularly, the invention relates to an optical film composite comprising a temporary carrier substrate having a center area and an edge area, said substrate having coated thereon an optical film wherein the adhesive strength between the optical film and the substrate is greater at the edge area than at the center area of the substrate.

Optical film composite having spatially controlled adhesive strength

The invention relates to a validation device comprising at least one specular reflective layer, indicia on said reflective layer, a polymer protective layer overlaying said indicia, and a polymer protective layer on the side of the reflective layer opposite to said indicia wherein said indicia are formed by thermal dye transfer.

Security device with specular reflective layer

The invention relates to an indicator comprising a light-guiding layer, a cladding layer on one surface of said light-guiding layer, and a patterning layer on the other surface.

Wave-guided optical indicator

The invention relates to a material to form an indicator element comprising a base material and at least one photosensitive silver halide layer, wherein the base material comprises at least one specular reflective layer between two polymer layers wherein the polymer layer between the at least one specular reflective layer and the silver halide layer is substantially transparent.

High contrast indicator element

A method for controlling the width of a polyester film support comprising, in order, the steps of: (a) extruding a polyester resin using one or more extruders; (b) casting the resin on a casting wheel to form a polyester sheet; (c) stretching the polyester sheet along the machine direction by ratios of 3 to 5 times at temperatures ranging from above the glass transition temperature to below the thermal crystallization temperature, wherein the machine contains extended edge rollers ( ) in the drafter at the point where stretching occurs; (d) stretching the polyester sheet along the transverse direction by ratios of 3 to 5 times at temperatures ranging from above the glass transition temperature to below the thermal crystallization temperature; and (e) heat setting the polyester sheet at temperatures ranging from 180 to 250&deg; C.

Method of controlling width of polyester film support

A radiographic storage panel includes a storage phosphor layer disposed on a unique support that comprises two or more separate flexible substrates that are laminated or adhered together.

Image storage phosphor panels having flexible supports

A highly useful photographic film base containing a miscible blend of is polyester containing at least 30 weight percent cyclohexylene dimethanol, CHDM/EG-PE, and a polycarbonate containing bisphenols, BP-PC, in specified proportions. Photographic elements prepared with this film base have a lesser tendency to take core-set and post process curl than do elements prepared with polyester containing cyclohexylene dimethanol, CHDM/EG-PE, film base.

Photographic film base and photographic elements

The present invention is a photographic support including a core layer of a transparent non-crystalline polymer having a glass transition temperature Tg. The core layer has a first surface and a second surface. A first outer layer of a transparent crystalline polymer having a first stretch temperature Ts.sub.1 greater than the Tg is superposed on the first surface of said core layer. A second outer layer of a transparent crystalline polymer having a second stretch temperature Ts.sub.2 greater than the Tg is superposed on the second surface of said core layer.
