Definitions

  • dry transfer is used to mean'a transfer which does not require the assistance of water or any other liquid to effect or facilitate the transfer.
  • Dry transfer materials consist essentially of a carrier sheet, indicia (which it is desired to transfer) carried by the said sheet and adhesive applied at least over the area of the indicia by means of which the indicia may be caused to adhere to a receiving surface and released from the carrier sheet, thus effecting the required transfer.
  • the new material, as described later herein has manifold uses rendering it a product of considerable versatility.
  • FIG. 1 is an edge-wise view of a preferred form of the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic view showing the sheet of the invention applied to a receiving surface and with a scriber in operative relation to the sheet;
  • FIG. 3 shows a plan view of a sheet according to the invention, positioned over an outline of an area to be transferred;
  • FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of a sheet according to the invention, on a receiving surface and after scribing, the carrier being partially peeled away; and I FIG. 5 shows an elevation cross-sectional view as in FIG. 4.
  • a transfer sheet which comprises essentially a carrier sheet A, a thin transferable film layer B carried by said carrier sheet and being substantially or completely coextensive in area with the carrier sheet, an adhesive layer C carried by said film layer and a separble protective covering sheet D applied on said adhesive layer.
  • the assembly of layers A, B, and C is such that a line scribed on the face of the carrier sheet A remote from the film layer B, as illustrated in FIG. 2, will cause the fracture of the layer B in register with that line even though the sheet A is not itself out through by such scribing action.
  • the preferred products are referred to herein, for convenience, as scribable products. Specific methods whereby the said result may be achieved are described later herein.
  • the transfer sheet of the present invention is not one which relies on the presence of pre-formed indicia; except in specific cases where indicia may additionally be present, the transfer sheets of the invention embody as the transferable element a film layer which extends substantially over the area of the carrier sheet, usually as a wholly uniform layer. It may be exactly coextensive with the carrier sheet or it may in practice be convenient, for ease of handling, to leave a margin of the carrier sheet not covered by the transferable film layer.
  • a desired shape from a dry transfer sheet according to the present invention remove the protective sheet (if it has not already been removed prior to cutting) apply the adhesive layer surface to the receiving surface, apply pressure and pull away the carrier sheet.
  • This is termed a cut-out process of transfer.
  • the scribable dry transfer sheets according to the invention may be used without cutting through the carrier sheet and are thus frequently more convenient in practice.
  • the protective sheet is removed, and the transfer material is placed, adhesive side down, onto the receiving surface to cover, for example, a.,closed outline of a design to which the transfer is to be precisely applied, as shown in FIG. 3. At this stage the transfer may be lifted up and placed on another position without premature transfer occurring.
  • a sharp instrument such as a needle stylus or knife or scribing tool which produces a high and very localised pressure
  • a sharp instrument is then scribed around the outline of the design (as shown in FIG. 2) using firm pressure suflicient temporarily or permanently to score, i.e. groove, the carrier sheet but not to cut it, so that when the carrier sheet is lifted away, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the film will become free from the carrier sheet and adhere precisely to the area within the outline, leaving the carrier sheet intact.
  • additional pressure is applied to the area within the scored outline prior to lifting away the carrier sheet, by means of a number of strokes of a ball point pen or an instrument such as a radiused rod of metal, wood or plastic.
  • the sheets and layers are preferably selected so that the peel bond of the carrier sheet to the transferable film is higher than the peel bond between the transferable film and the protective sheet in storage and transport, and is also higher than the peel bond between transferable film and the receiving surface under light finger pressure.
  • the action of applying scoring pressure to the carrier sheet provides a peel bond between the thus cut transfer film and the receiving surface which is higher than the peel bond between the carrier sheet and transferable film.
  • the peel bond of the adhesive to the receiving surface under light finger pressure /2 p.s.i. or less) is insufiicient to transfer the film, but the adhesive peel bond increases under high pressure and is sufficient to peel the transferable film off the carrier sheet provided also that the transferable film has a cut edge from which peeling can be commenced.
  • the adhesive used must have different levels of adhesive power at lower and higher applied pressures. Moreover the property is exhibited towards a wide variety of possible receiving surfaces, e.g., paper, paper-board, plastics, glass, wood or metals. However it must not exhibit more than slight adhesion even under high pressures to the protective sheet which, as noted above is essentially a removable sheet serving only to protect the adhesive layer.
  • a suitable such protective sheet is a silicone-coated paper, the intrinsic characteristics of which are known to be such that adhesives will not readily adhere to it.
  • a further and useful method of employing the transfer sheet of the invention is made possible, and is termed pre-scoring.
  • the scoring of the carrier sheet is carried out without removing the protective sheet. Then, because the cut area of transferable film does not adhere to the protective sheet the protective film can be removed, and the adhesive surface then applied to the desired receiving surface; strong finger pressure or a few strokes with a radiused instrument will then cause the pre-cut area to transfer and adhere to the receiving surface and the carrier sheet can be lifted away.
  • This method is of course of advantage where the receiving surface is of such delicacy that the transmission of pressure to it by the scoring operation is to be avoided.
  • the necessary functional properties of the transfer materials are obtained by selecting the four components, namely carrier sheet, transferable film, adhesive layer and protective sheet according to physical specifications, since the four components must provide a working combination which operates when specified physical forces are applied.
  • the most important physical specifications needed for a preferred form of dry transfer sheet according to the invention are:
  • Light transmitting properties is desirable, but not essential, that the carrier sheet, adhesive layer and protective sheet are sufficiently transparent so that receiving surface is visible when the transfer sheet, complete with protective sheet is placed on it, provided of course that the particular transferable layer is also light transmitting.
  • the elongation limits for carrier sheets as determined by ASTM Test Method D-638, and transferable films and specific examples of pairs of materials taken from the examples which follow later herein are as follows:
  • Transferable film 5-100 Examples 1 and 2 provide a very large elongation differential which operates very satisfactorily in the differential cutting process under a very wide range of cutting forces i.e. a very wide range of cutting pressures and stylus sharpness values.
  • Thickness of carrier sheet is of significance in the cutting operation. If the sheet is too thick it will require excessive stylus pressure to cut the transferable film.
  • the lower limit of the thickness range is partly set by the practical dilficulty of handling very thin and flimsy transfer sheets. Generally a thickness in the range of .005.008 inch is desirable and a thickness of. .002.003 is most satisfactory.
  • Tensile strength The transferable film should exhibit sufiicient strength so that it may be peeled from the carrier sheet in the transfer operation without breaking. A secondary consideration is that it may be removed from the receiving surface to carry out corrections and alterations without breaking.
  • the main functional requirement is met if the tensile strength of the transferable film is adequate and also that there is suflicient flexibility. The latter is equivalent to elongation, which is specified in the cutting requirements above.
  • the tensile strength is measured by the force necessary to break a one inch wide strip of the detached film and the lower limit must exceed the peel bond adhesion value to the carrier sheet to permit ease of transfer.
  • the upper limit is generally set only by practical difiiculties in providing strong, thin films, and tensile strength values as in Examples 1-4 provide useable films.
  • Adhesion relationships are the most important physical properties in the transfer materials and all the three transfer processes referred to above.
  • Adhesion Value 1 carrier sheet to transferable film.
  • Adhesion Value 2 transferable film to adhesive layer.
  • Adhesion Value 3 adhesive layer to receiving surface at /z p.s.i.
  • Adhesion Value 4 adhesive layer to receiving surface at p.s.i.
  • the adhesion values are conveniently measured by a peel bond test under standard conditions in which the pressure is applied by a pad of rubber to provide uniform pressure using a hydraulic press, for example for a duration of 10 seconds at 20 C., a standard receiving surface consisting of matt polyester drawing film being used. Peeling is carried out at right angles at a rate of 1 foot per minute.
  • the desirable peel bond ranges for each of the above adhesion values and the values in the specific examples which follow, are as follows, in grams:
  • adhesion value 2 should preferably always exceed adhesion value 1 and 4 so that the transferable layer never parts from the adhesive layer.
  • Relationship B adhesion 1 should be greater than adhesion 5 so that premature transfer onto the protective sheet cannot occur.
  • adhesion 4 should be greater than adhesive value 1 at over 50 p.s.i. (normally tested at 100 p.s.i.).
  • the carrier sheet may be selected to have either a high gloss, matt or embossed finish on the side to which the transferable film is applied to provide a transferred film with a replica of the carrier sheet surface.
  • a matt surface finish provides a substantially lower peel bond value than a gloss finish and an embossed film shows higher elongation values than a smooth film. Matt and semi-gloss films are of particular value.
  • CARRIER SHEETS Carrier sheets may consist of individual sheets which may be flat or reeled, of a self-supporting film of a polymer or copolymer or of a material such as paper or regenerated cellulose or other film or foil, having a surface of such polymer or copolymer.
  • Suitable polymers and copolymers are polysiloxanes, fatty acid chromium complexes supported on paper or regenerated cellulose film; polystyrene; substituted polystyrenes; copolymers or graft polymers of styrene, substituted styrenes and styrene homologues, butadiene and acrylonitrile; polyvinyl-halides, -esters and -acetals; cellulose esters and ethers; polyesters such as polyethyleneglycol terephthalate; polycarbonates and polycarbonateurethane complexes; rubber hydrochloride; polyolefins, including polyethylene of high and low density and polypropylene; and polyamides.
  • any of the above polymer films may contain plasticisers to provide the correct elongation properties and stabilisers and fillers.
  • Preferred carrier sheet polymers are unsupported, unplasticised, unfilled films of polyethylene of all the available density values, and polypropylene, both prepared by, for example, blown tubular film methods or chill, roll casting methods, and extruded, calendered or cast polystyrene, or copolymer containing a major proportion of polystyrene, all these films preferably having a matt surface finish.
  • the dry transferable film preferably consists of an organic polymer which may also contain plasticisers, dyes, pigments, stabilisers and fillers.
  • Suitable polymers are cellulose nitrate; cellulose acetate; celuose acetobutyrate; ethyl cellulose; ethylhydroxyethyl cellulose; alkyds and alkyds modified or copolymerised with a drying oil, styrene, urethane, vinyl, silicone and acrylic resins; polyvinylhalides, -esters and -acetals; polyurethanes; epoxy polymers and copolymers; urea, melamineand benzoguanamine-formaldehyde polymers; chlorinated and isomerised rubber; polystyrene and polyvinyl toluene; polysiloxanes and silicone containing polymers; polyacrylates polymethacrylates and'thermosetting acrylic resins; polyvinyl alcohol; polyethylene
  • the above polymers are applied to the carrier sheet preferably in the form of a layer of viscous; liquid such as a lacquer, i.e. a solution in organic solvents, or an aqueous emulsion, hot melt, plastisol, organosol or as a liquid monomer or liquid polymer containing catalyst.
  • a lacquer i.e. a solution in organic solvents, or an aqueous emulsion, hot melt, plastisol, organosol or as a liquid monomer or liquid polymer containing catalyst.
  • Various coating process which ma be used are roller, knife, metering bar, wire rod, spray or extrusion, or a printing process may be used to give a uniform layer, such as screen process, flexographic or gravure printing.
  • the layer is then dried or set. If the lacquer contains a solvent this should not sufficiently dissolve or attack the carrier film under the particular drying conditions and coating thickness, to damage it mechanically or to prevent the desired elongation values or to increase the
  • the transferable layer is formulated to provide the necessary physical specifications of tensile strength, elongation and adhesion to the carrier sheet.
  • Tensile strength is mainly determined by the polymer used and to a less extent on the plasticiser concentration; elongation is also determined mainly by the polymer and the amount of plasticiser; mutual adhesion between carrier sheet and transferable layer is determined by the polymers used for both the carrier sheet and transferable layer and also by the plasticiser concentration of the latter, a high plasticiser concentration giving more mutual adhesion than a low plasticiser concentration.
  • the same chemical class of polymer is preferably not used for the carrier sheet and the transferable layer since strong specific adhesion forces are usually produced. Solvents used in applying the transferable layer may increase adhesion to the carrier sheet if they etch or soften it. Solvents are avoided which mechanically damage the carrier sheet.
  • Pigments, dyes, fillers and stabilisers may be incorporated in the transferable layer. These have a moderate effect on tensile strength, elongation and adhesion which must be allowed for. The tensile strength of the transferable layer is dependent on its thickness and this is also controlled.
  • the transferable film after application to the surface of a receiving object, has adequate adhesion to withstand handling and use but may be partly or entirely removed from the receiving surface without damage, even to delicate surfaces such as paper, by scoring and lifting up an edge of the transferable film with a needle or knife and peeling it away.
  • This requires that the transferable film has adequate tensile strength and preferably has a tensile strength at break point higher than the peel bond of the adhesive to the receiving surfaces.
  • the transferable film may be formulated from ingredients which can be softened by solvents and in that case it may readily be provided that the transferable film, after application to the receiving surface, may be softened by a fixing solvent or varnish and, after evaporation of the solvent, the transfer will be adhered to the receiving surface so that it is no longer readily removable.
  • the transferable film may also be formulated with materials which are not softened and increased in ad hesion by selected paints and inks so that these paints and inks may be applied over the transfer which is therefore operating as a mask or stencil. After drying, the transfer may be removed as described above, leaving an image in paint or ink on the receiving surface.
  • the adhesive preferably comprises a two component system one component being a polymer or resin which is intrinsically tacky, such as a tacky elastomer, or has admixed therewith a resin imparting tackiness, and a second component which is a tack controlling component to reduce the tack of the adhesive layer to the desired peel bond value.
  • the second component also imparts cutting or shearing properties to the adhesive layer so that 'it will cut when the transferable film is cut or will shear as the carrier sheet is lifted away from the receiving surface. These shearing or cutting properties are achieved by a material or very low tensile strength, and of particular value in ensuring that no adhesive transfers to the receptor surface from outside the boundaries of the transferred area of transferable film.
  • the second component is preferably a readily deformable material in order to allow the adhesive layer to make adequate contact with the receiving surface, which may be rough in texture.
  • the tack controlling component may con veniently be used at a concentration of 6-65 parts per parts of the total tacky component.
  • intrinsically tacky polymers include polyacrylic or methacrylic esters and acids; polyvinvyl ethers; copolymers of vinylethers and the aforesaid acrylic compounds; polyisobutylene and polybutenes; natural rubber; synthetic polyisoprene; polyvinyl esters; polychloroprene; polybutadiene and also copolymers with styrene.
  • Tackifying resins include hydrocarbon resins; terpene resins such as poly B-pinene; rosin; rosin derivatives such as hydrogenated rosin and esters; and liquid mixtures of polymeric styrene and homologues.
  • Preferred materials are polyvinylbutylether; polyvinyl isobutylether; polyvinylethylether, polyvinylmethylether; polybutylacrylate or copolymers of butylacrylate and methacrylate.
  • the tack controlling, low tensile and deformable component may consist of a wax or wax like material having a Durometer hardness of less than 100 Durometer units (ASTMD 67649T, Shore A2 instrument).
  • suitable materials are long chain hydrocarbons containing 12 or more carbon atoms such as paraffin and microcrystalline wax polyethylene waxes i.e.
  • low molecular weight polyethylene such as Fischer Tropsch waxes, and saturated and unsaturated long chain hydrocarbon derivatives such as carboxylic acids (fatty acids) and their metal salts, esters, alcohols, amides; nitriles, amines, amine salts, quaternary ammonium derivatives, fatty acid mono or polyesters of polyols and polyethyleneglycols; fatty alcohol ethers of polyethyleneglycols; polyethyleneglycols, polypropyleneglycols and the like.
  • All the components of the adhesive may be applied as an aqueous emulsion. Alternatively they may all be applied as solutions in organic solvents or one component such as a wax may be dispersed in the solvent and the tacky component be in solution.
  • the adhesive layer may be applied by coating or printing as for the transferable film layer, and dried. The solvents used in the adhesive layer should not damage the transferable film layer.
  • Suitable protective sheets may consist of a support sheet to which is applied a release material to provide the required low adhesion values to the adhesive layer.
  • Suitable support sheets are cellulosic materials such as kraft paper, glassine paper and vegetable parchment paper.
  • Suitable release materials are fatty acid chromium complexes or siloxanes such as polymethyl-siloxanes.
  • the siloxane is preferably obtained by applying a reactive material to the support which polymerises or copolymerises with the support sheet to provide a siloXane which is insoluble, non-migratory and strongly adherent and therefore does not affect the adhesive properties of the adhesive layer by migration into the adhesive or transfer onto the adhesive.
  • suitable reactive materials are methyl hydrogenpolysiloxanes, a metal salt catalyst being useful as a catalyst to accelerate polymerisation, and the materials may be applied as fluids, solutions in organic solvents or aqueous emulsions.
  • the transferable film layer consisting of one or more continuous areas of clear or coloured transferable film on the carrier sheet may be further printed with ink indicia, which need not be film forming, either by printing the carrier sheet with such indicia before application of the transferable film, or by printing the transferable film after application of it to the carrier sheet; in both events, the ink indicia should adhere irreversibly to the transferable film and transfer with it in all subsequent operations.
  • the indicia are applied by any printing process.
  • An ink is used which has sufficient adhesion to the transferable film to adhere to it under all conditions of use of the transfer.
  • a pigmented or dyed ink containing the same polymer system as the transferable film layer gives excellent adhesion but other inks based upon drying oil varnishes and alkyds and other polymers are useful.
  • Inks having other functional properties containing for example ceramic frits or ceramic pigments, magnetic iron oxide; conductive silver oxide or graphite particles may also be used for special applications.
  • the dry transfer sheets of the present invention may be constructed with different forms of transferable film and several principal products, with an indication of their methods of use, will now be described.
  • Transfer colour sheets In these materials the transferable film layer is uniformly coloured. These materials have valuable commercial applications and advantages.
  • the transferable layer is cut and transferred by whichever of the three processes previously described is most convenient, namely the cut-out process, the differential cutting process or the prescoring process.
  • a transfer sheet having a single transferable layer of continuous and uniform colour is of value for example to artists, draughtsmen, architects, cartographers, for applying colour to artwork, drawings, maps, prototypes, models and displays to replace liquid paint, ink, crayon and coloured tape.
  • the transferred colour has the advantages of uniform and exact colour, exact positioning, requires no drying, is fast to apply and requires little skill.
  • the transferred colour may be so thin that it exactly simulates direct printing or painting; corrections and alterations are easily made and yet the transferred colour is strongly adhering and if necessary may be irreversibly fixed.
  • the colour may be transferred by freehand cutting with a needle stylus or alternatively the stylus may be used with a guide such as straight edge, curve, or template, compass or pantograph.
  • a guide such as straight edge, curve, or template, compass or pantograph.
  • the transfer colour sheets are provided as transparent colours
  • two or more colours may be superimposed or overlapped to give intermediate colours and by employing a relatively limited range of bright colours in a graduated series of densities, in particular a trichromatic or four-colour series of yellow, cyan, magenta and grey, intermediate colours may be produced by superimposing on subtractive colour principles to provide a medium of considerable value to the process engraver and graphic artist.
  • Areas of colour may be applied to a wide variety of surfaces for displays and exhibitions. Precision butt joins can be made between colour areas by transferring the first colour area and then overlapping with the second transfer colour sheet and using an edge of the first colour as a guide for the needle stylus when cutting the second colour. Walls may therefore be decorated with uniform areas of transfer colour to simulate direct painting. Designs may be applied to walls as murals.
  • the transfer colour may also be applied to glass and transparent plastic surfaces for decoration effects, e.g. to simulate stained glass, or for functional applications such as the use of a semi-transparent white transfer sheet to convert a clear glass or plastic sheet into an opal or light diffusing material, or to provide an ultra-violet or other radiation filter. Colour may be transferred to slides, film and other surfaces for optical projection.
  • Photomechanical lint shects.A clear, transparent film layer may be overprinted with an adhering ink, as described, in the form of half tone dots of any frequency and size, or with line rulings, shading, cross-hatching, stipples and other designs which are useful as mechanical tints or shading media in photomechanical work, map making and drafting work. Such designs may be easily transferred in an exact position to simulate direct hand drawing or direct printed reproductions, with the advantage of a substantial saving of skilled labour and time. Drawings and artwork prepared with these photomechanical tints, particularly with the half .tone dot sheets, may be converted into printing plates, blocks or cylinders by direct photography without the need for complicated half tone dot exposure through ruled screens or contact screens.
  • the transferable film may be applied to a selected area of a photograph, or drawing. Parts of this transferred film may also be cut and removed by lifting off with a knife blade or adhesive tape. Colour may then be applied by spray, 'brush, or roller over the masked and unmasked areas and when dry the transferrable film may be lifted off with a knife tip, or rubbed off with an eraser, or lifted off with adhesive tape, to leave these protected areas free from colour.
  • Photographic mask.-A transfer sheet of a uniform transparent red colour may be used which has sufficient density to blue and blue-green light to record as black on process and orthochromatic photographic sensitive materials. Such a sheet has numerous uses as a photographic opaque material.
  • Gold efiects.-Gold and silver effects are difiicult to achieve by brush, pen or crayon particularly on paper surfaces when metallic brilliance, uniformity and nontarnishing properties are required. Dry transfer sheets with uniform areas of gold or imitation gold pigmented transferable film are of particular value.
  • Colour trim.Mass production items may be decorated with colour, including gold trim, by the use of colour transfer sheets, which has advantages over spray painting that costly masking with tape is not required.
  • Thermosetting transfers may be formulated with thermosetting inks and adhesives which may be stoved or baked after transfer to increase adhesion and hardness.
  • the transferable film layer may be overprinted with ceramic inks for applying colour and designs to ceramics and glass which are fired after transfer to burn away the transferable film layer and fuse the ceramic ink onto the surface.
  • the transferable film layer may be applied to a screen printing mesh and bonded irreversibly with a solvent.
  • the transferable film then acts as a screen printing stencil.
  • the transferable film may be applied to metal surfaces which are subsequently etched with acids and other chemicals, the transfer being resistant to the etch.
  • Example 1 A carrier sheet is employed which consists of a light transmitting film of polyethylene of density .95 g./ml. having a matt finish and a caliper of .003 inch with an elongation at breakpoint of 200% and a tensile strength of 3.5x l0 p.s.i., and which can be strongly scored with a needle stylus without being out.
