Abstract
A heat-transfer label including a novel acrylic adhesive layer. In a preferred embodiment, the label is used in decorating polyethylene-coated glass articles subjected to pasteurization conditions and includes (a) a support portion in the form of a sheet of paper overcoated with a release layer of polyethylene, (b) a skim coat of wax overcoated onto the polyethylene release layer and (c) a transfer portion, the transfer portion including a cross-linked phenoxy protective lacquer layer printed onto the skim coat, a polyester ink layer printed onto the protective lacquer layer, a first adhesive layer printed onto the ink layer, any exposed portions of the underlying protective lacquer layer and a surrounding area of the skim coat, and a second adhesive layer printed onto the first adhesive layer. The first adhesive layer is made by depositing an adhesive composition comprising a water-based all-acrylic elastomeric polymer emulsion. The second adhesive layer comprises a chlorinated polyolefin of the type present in a water-based chlorinated polyolefin dispersion and also comprises a thickener in the form of a polyurethane.
