Definitions

  • This invention relates to adhesive transfers (decalcomanias) and more particularly to a form of transfer material in which an image, design or printed matter (hereinafter generally referred to as indicia) may be transferred from a carrier sheet to a further support.
  • the invention includes transfer materials, their production and the processes of their use.
  • Transfer materials consisting of a carrier sheet carrying an indicia which can be transferred bodily from the carrier sheet to a further support are very well known indeed and a. great deal of effort has been directed to the production of such materials which will permit transfer, in close register, of any indicia with ease, speed and reliability and which will give consistently good results.
  • Absolute accuracy of register is diicult to achieve so that such methods have usually only been employed where the indicia are of very simple form, e.g. straightforward geometrical designs.
  • dry transfer materials of the type just discussed have usually used a paper carrier support, sometimes a laminar product of a fair degree of complication, which has had a very limited transparency or transluceney (if indeed it was not opaque) so that accurate positioning of the transfer material, when the transfer is being effected, is the more difficult.
  • carrier sheets based on paper have often suffered from the disadvantage of dimensional variation with atmospheric conditions, and have often had a serious tendency to curl.
  • a transfer material comprising a light transmitting extensible base sheet printed with indicia on one face and said indicia supercoated with an adhesive, the adhesive being of a character which will not adhere to another surface under light linger pressure but which will adhere to another surface when a substantial pressure is applied to the reverse side of the base sheet, whereby when the base sheet is subsequently lifted away the indicia remains, stuck by the adhesive, on said other surface.
  • a transfer material comprising a carrier sheet consisting of a sheet of transparent or translucent iilm of high dimensional stability under normally varying conditions of temperature and humidity but which is readily capable of stretching on application of tension thereto, indicia in printing ink carried by said carrier sheet, said printing ink being based essentially on a polymeric material and containing a plasticiser therefor, and a thin layer of a pressure sensitive adhesive in register with said indicia or extending over the Whole of the printed area of the carrier sheet on the printed side, the adhesion between the said indicia and the carrier sheet being reducible by local stretching of the carrier sheet in the region thereof, and the pressure sensitive adhesive being substantially non-bonding at pressures less than 50 lbs. per square inch.
  • Transfer materials according to the present invention are easy to handle since the pressure sensitive adhesive will not bond to anything with which it comes into contact unless a substantial pressure is applied. It is accordingly not necessary to provide a protective sheet semi-permanently stuck to the adhesive surface. It is desirable in practice to interleave the transfer materials with, for example, silicone-treated interleaving paper but this paper does not stick tightly to the adhesive layer and will usually separate under its own weight.
  • the transparency or translucency of the support sheet enables the transfer material to be accurately positioned for use since the ind-icia can be seen through the back of the sheet.
  • the whole product is stable under normal storage conditions and when required for use it is only necessary to apply it to the surface on to which the transfer is to be made, and apply a pressure in excess of 50 lbs. per square inch to the back of the carrier.
  • the indicia then release from the support sheet and become adherent to the said surface.
  • the adhesive is applied as a thin layer over the whole surface of the printed side of the carrier it is found that, provided it has a lower tensile strength than that of the printing ink and good adhesion to the non-printed areas of the carrier, it will shear round the elements of the printed indicia so that only the adhesive coated on the printed indicia will transfer.
  • the preferred material for use is polyethylene film made of polyethylene of density 0.96 g./ml., melt index 0.2 (method of BS 1972); softening point 122 C. for 30 deflection (BS 1493); tensile strength 4200 p.s.i. (BS 2571); elongation at break 100-500%; Young modulus 2.0 105 p.s.i.; and water absorption less than .01% after 30 days immersion.
  • the above polymer has a different molecular structure to conventional polyethylene, having linear and more regular polymer chains with very little side chain branching, which impart a high degree of crystallinity of about 93%. This structure provides the physical and chemical properties required for use in the present invention namely, stiffness, strength and elongation in very thin film form, and resistance to temperature, Water and solvents.
  • the film support may be, for example, of thickness 0.001 to 0.008 inch and may have a glossy, matt or semi-matt surface and the transferred indicia will have a corresponding surface.
  • a matt surface to the transferred indicia is sometimes of value where the transferred image is to ce used for photographic reproduction.
  • the indicia are applied to the carrier support sheet by a printing operation.
  • the ink consists essentially of a high polymer and a plasticiser therefor. Generally it is found desirable to select a high polymer which, if used alone, would release spontaneously from the support and then to add to it suflcient of a plasticiser as to achieve the desired level of adhesion to the support.
  • a clear ink medium may be prepared from a high polymer of cellulose nitrate of extra low, low or medium viscosity type, being an ester soluble grade, of nitrogen content of 11.8-12.3%, or a spirit soluble grade of nitrogen content 10.5% to 11.2%.
  • the cellulose nitrate may be employed damped in butanol, or the like, with 65 to 70% polymer solids.
  • the cellulose nitrate is dissolvedin a solvent suitable in volatility for the particular printing process, and which does not dissolve, curl or distort the carrier sheet.
  • Aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon solvents are undesirable, but esters, ether-esters, ketones, alcohols, ether-alcohols, ketonealcohols are suitable on the polyethylene carrier support referred to above.
  • a high polymer solution as thus formulated provides the necessary tensile strength of the dry ink film, but used without the inclusion of plasticiser would give indicia which would spontaneously release from the carrier sheet.
  • a plasticiser must be added rto the high polymer solution .to impart flexibility according to the known principles of lacquer formulation and also to control the release to precisely the required value by a most careful control of concentration.
  • Two types of plasticiser may be used; one type is the so called solvent plasticiser which may provide part of the plasticiser content and is usually a nonapolymerio material of low volatility, usually an ester, Iwhich ⁇ is compatible with the high polymer and has a softening or dissolving action on it. Examples are, dioctyl phthalate, tributylcitrate, dimethylcyclohexyl adipate, trixyleneylphosphate.
  • the second :type of plasticiser is a non-drying oil (i.e., non-oxidising) modified polyester, compatible with the high polymer.
  • the following oils, alcohols and acids may be variously employed in the production of such polyesters:
  • Oil Alcohol Acid Castor oil Ethylene glycol. Plthilif (or anhyri e Hydrogenated Glycerol. Isophthalic.
  • a particularly :advantageous plastiser is a polyglyceryl sebacate, of 72% castor oil content and having a viscosity x-y, Gardner-Holdt scale.
  • cellulose nitrate as the polymer there may be used, for parts of cellulose nitrate, 20 to parts of plasticiser, e.g. 55 to 150 parts of a castoroil modified alkyd resin or hydrogenated castor-oil modified alkyd resin.
  • the printing inks used may be clear or pigmented or dyed and it is found to be particularly advantageous to formulate them so that they may be applied by silk-screen printing methods.
  • the printed indicia which may be a clear non-pigmented ink
  • the tacky component may be, yfor example, an acrylic, methacrylic ester or acid polymer or copolymer, a vinyl ether or ester polymer or copolymer, poly isobutylene or polybutene.
  • the non-tacky component may be a saturated long chain hydrocarbon lor carboxylic acid ester or amide thereof or polymer of any of these or a long chain alcohol or a poly glycol.
  • the polymer .to total plasticiser ratio (which controls the release properties) is 100:67 in this ink.
  • this ink to include pigment is achieved by the addition of v6000 parts of rutile titanium dioxide and adjustment of the polymer to total plasticiser ratio to 100:81.
  • Such clear or pigmented ink medium is printed through a 180 stainless steel or nylon mesh screen, the design being formed by a hand cut stencil for simple designs and a photostencil for complex designs, to provide a dry ink fllm thickness ⁇ of 0.0005 i0.0002 inch, on a polyethylene film (polyethylene density 0.96 referred to above).
  • a high-pressure sensitive adhesive is formulated -as follows.
  • An aqueous emulsion - is formed of 2 parts of an ester of a polyhydric alcohol .and a fatty acid (e.g. ethylene glycol and lauric, palmitic Ior stearic acid) in 12 parts of water.
  • a fatty acid e.g. ethylene glycol and lauric, palmitic Ior stearic acid
  • This adhesive may be printed in register with the indicia, but this is unnecessary, and excellent release, bonding and shear around the perimeter of any detail is obtained with an overall coat over the whole sheet or as a number of simple panels over the individual designs.
  • a suitable wet coating weight is 1.1-2.2 grams per square foot which corresponds to a Wet thickness of .0005-.001 inch.
  • a discontinuous coating in which the coating is applied in a large number of small discreet -dots cover-ing say 70% of the sheet and with a frequency of 180 per linear 6 inch provides .ease of vrelease and excellent shearing even ⁇ at thick coats ⁇ or with adhesives of higher shear strength than that just described.
  • the transfer material is placed, adhesive side down, onto the surface which is to receive the indicia, such as a sheet of drawing paper or film.
  • the indicia is registered with the surface and then pressure is applied using a standard ball-point pen having a .040 finch diameter ball, using a light writing load of 2 ozs. constitutes an aver age pressure of 1600 p.s.i., since the pressure band is of .OlO inch width, yand causes a noticeable stretch in the carrier sheet which exceed the yield point of the film and can be seen and felt when the pressure is released.
  • the pressure is applied as a series of strokes over at least part of th perimeter of each -ink area, :when uni-directional lifting away of the ⁇ carrier film is desirable. yIf pressure is ⁇ applied over the whole of the perimeter of ink area the carrier lm may be lifted away in any direction.
  • FIGURE 1 shows a diagrammatic section of the dry transfer materials
  • FIGURE 2 shows in section the method and mechanism of transfer
  • FIGURE 3 shows the result of the transfer operation, illustrating the residual elements of the transfer material in their new location.
  • FIGURE l there is shown the carrier film 1 carrying indicia 2 (one such is shown) and adhesive 3. It Will he noted that the adhesive extends beyond the margins of the indicia to overlap onto the carrier film 1.
  • the dye transfer material is laid down with the surface of adhesive layer 3 in contact with a receiving sheet 4. Pressure is applied to the area of the carrier film 1 behind the indicia 2 by means of a ball point pen 5. The effect is to stretch the lm 1 as shown and thus release the indicia 2 from the film 1. Air thus enters between the indicia 2 and the film 1.
  • the dry transfer material is then lifted away as shown in FIGURE 3.
  • the area of adhesive 3 which overlapped onto the film 1 remains in position on the carrier lm 1 due to shearing of the adhesive around the edges of the indicia.
  • the indicia 2 however is adherent to the receiving sheet 4 by means of that part of the adhesive 3 which lay over the indicia 2.
