Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pressure-sensitive transfer tape provided with a transfer layer in which a opaque colored layer and an adhesive layer are sequentially laminated on a tape-shaped substrate. More specifically, the present invention relates to a pressure-sensitive transfer tape useful for writing with a writing instrument in which the surface of a transfer layer is filled with highly opaque ink after the transfer layer is transferred to a transfer object by pressure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in the field of writing instruments, in addition to the conventional dye-based or ultrafinely dispersed pigment-based ballpoint pens and felt-tip pens, various coloring agents have been used based on highly opaque white pigments and fine metal powders. Many writing instruments such as ball-point pens and felt-tip pens filled with colored ink having excellent concealing properties (hereinafter referred to as concealing writing instruments) have come to exceed the market. In particular, it was extremely popular as a trending product for the younger buyers. As described above, since the inks of these opaque writing instruments are colored by using various colorants based on a white pigment having high opacity, the hue is based on pastel whitish ink or metal fine powder. It was an ink with a metallic hue.

[0003] Therefore, when writing with these concealable writing instruments, the difference in contrast between the written characters or drawings and the ground color of the paper is high on ordinary white paper such as notebooks and memo paper, or on colored paper with high brightness. Because of the small size, the written characters and the drawing itself were hardly conspicuous, and the use had to be considerably limited.

Therefore, in order to expand applications, various paper products dedicated to writing instruments such as notebooks, stationery, memo paper, and the like have been successively commercialized using dark colored paper.

However, with these dedicated paper products, any effective use of the above concealable writing instrument in paper products using ordinary high-whiteness paper or high-brightness colored paper has been difficult and could not be realized. Also, as a device on the user side,
There is also a method of using a commercially available dark-colored marker to apply a dark color in advance to an arbitrary place to be written, and then using the above-mentioned writing instrument. However, the complexity, bleeding or strike-through of the marker ink on the paper, and application width are also available. However, there were various problems such as unevenness and slow drying.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an effective and wide-ranging use of a concealable writing instrument in notebooks and memo papers using ordinary high whiteness paper or high brightness color paper. is there.

[0007]

According to the present invention, there is provided a pressure-sensitive transfer tape having a transfer layer in which a concealing colored layer and an adhesive layer are sequentially laminated on a tape-like substrate. Focusing on the usefulness of this transfer layer, this transfer layer is previously transferred to normal high-whiteness paper or high-brightness colored paper, and then written on the transfer layer surface using a concealable writing instrument. It has been found that, among the three attributes of colors used in the color management of the above, by setting the lightness index L to 60 or less, an effective use excellent in contrast to the opaque writing implement ink can be realized.

Further, the use of the pressure-sensitive transfer tape can solve all of the drawbacks such as complications when using the above-mentioned marker, bleeding or strike-through on paper, uneven coating width, and slow drying. is there.

The present invention is characterized in that the lightness index L of the transfer layer is 60 or less, but preferably the lightness index L is 45 or less.

When the lightness index L exceeds 60, the contrast between the opaque writing implement ink and the ground color of the transfer layer is poor.
Effective use cannot be realized.

The pressure-sensitive transfer tape of the present invention basically has a two-layer structure in which a concealing colored layer is provided on a base material and an adhesive layer is further provided thereon. The transfer layer including the coloring and the adhesive layer transfers to the transfer target. As the thickness of each layer, the thickness of the opaque colored layer is about 10 to 40 μm, and preferably 15 to 25 μm.

The thickness of the adhesive layer is about 0.3 to 10 μm, preferably 0.5 to 5 μm. As a material used for these pressure-sensitive transfer type tapes, a
One or both surfaces of a plastic film such as a polyester film or an acetate film having a thickness of about 0 μm, which is subjected to release processing with a silicone resin or the like, or 30 to 60 g /
A sheet obtained by releasing both sides of thin paper such as glassine paper of about m ² is used.

The basic composition of the opaque colored layer is composed of a colorant, a concealing agent, and a resin, and may optionally contain a surfactant, a resin coating modifier, an antioxidant, and the like. The colorant is not particularly limited from organic and inorganic dyes and pigments.The concealing agent is a white concealing pigment such as titanium oxide, a colored concealing pigment such as iron oxide, and further, aluminum. Typical examples thereof include metal fine powders such as powders, but are not particularly limited. Further, a material having both performances of a coloring agent and a hiding agent may be used. The resin is not particularly limited, such as urethane-based, acrylic-based, vinyl-based, olefin-based, and rubber-based resins, and each component may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

The degree of concealment of the opaque colored layer referred to here means that the hue of the transfer layer is hardly affected by the ground color of the transfer object when the transfer layer is transferred to the transfer object, It is sufficient if the characters or the like printed or written on the transfer member are not legible or hardly legible.

The basic composition of the adhesive layer is not particularly limited as long as it is a resin having pressure-sensitive adhesive properties such as an acrylic, rubber or vinyl ether resin. May be added according to In addition, it is also possible to set so that the transfer layer can be peeled off by rubbing with an eraser, a fingertip, or the like when the transfer layer is no longer needed after being transferred to the transfer target body by adjusting the adhesive force of the resin.

The pressure-sensitive transfer tape of the present invention may be applied with any method for transferring the transfer layer to the object by applying pressure from the back side of the transfer layer. A transfer tape for correcting typographical errors, an adhesive transfer tape, and the like, including a transfer section that presses and transfers a transfer section, a transfer layer of a transfer tape, and a transfer target body, and a winding section that winds up the transferred transfer tape base material.
