Definitions
- the present invention relates to heat-sealable marking labels for producing permanent decorative or informative markings on textile or other flexible articles and is an improvement in or development of the invention described in US. Pat. No. 3,359,127 which refers to the marking of textile products by means of heat transfers. Further resin systems for use with such mark ing labels are also described inlater patents standing in the name of the proprietors of this invention.
- the aforesaid patent includes "a construction in which a temporary support receives printed matter, utilising a printing medium containing a soluble linear polyamide which is capable of being cured by the action of heat and pressure during bonding the printed matter to a textile or other surface to form. an inert and insoluble permanent marking in situ onthe article.
- the printed matter consists of separate and distinct elements without any continuous layer associated with them, thus contrasting with the construction describedwith reference to FIGS. 3 to where the printed matter is associated with a continuous layer.
- a release coated paper such as a paper laminated to polyester film
- display or information matter is printed on tothis temporary support or on a clear layer provided on said support, using inks and clear lacquers made from heat curable resins which, under the influence of heat and pressure fuse into a textile substrate and under acid conditions link to form a decorative or informative marking on the textile, which marking is substantially inert to laundering and cleaning operations to which the textile bearing the marking will subsequently be subjected.
- the minimum thickness of the resin plus ink present should be in the region of micrometres (dry thickness) which thickness can be achieved in the case of individual printed characters either by using a comparatively coarse screen mesh or by building up the thickness in several layers.
- a coarse screen mesh is not always desirable as the quality of the design printing may surface in some cases.
- the printing ink used When the transfer consists of individual printed characters the printing ink used must contain sufficient pigment to give a bright and clear marking when transcannot in practice be evaded by applying successive layers of printing ink because although this may give added thickness it is not always easy tjo ensure that correct register of successive printings is' obtained and there is still the difficulty of producing clear andsharp 0 ness, and ensure that the printed characters are clera and distinct and of good appearance.
- There are however certain disadvantages associated with the use of continuous layers in particular in the case of a relatively thin textile article the continuous layers tend to give a certain measure of stiffness over the label area.
- the present invention is concerned with the application of distinct informative characters by means of a heat transfer process, the said characters being textual or of a decorative character; they may include for example Trade Mark of makers name labels for textile articles or care labels containing information as to the cleaning or laundering treatments to which the article should be subjected, and all such forms of label markings are hereinafter comprehended within the expression printed characters.
- the object of the present invention is to provide methods of marking textile or other articles which comprise the advantages of distinct printed characters but without the need for continuous layers, and in its broadest aspect the present invention comprises a method of producing permanent markings on flexible articles comprising applying to the article under heat and pressure a marking element or transfer consisting of distinct characters incorporating a heat curable resin system and a pigment, the heat and pressure serving to bond the characters to the surface of the article to be marked and to effect curing of the resin, in which the characters are each covered individually with a layer of a clear heat curable resin system to provide additional substance'and body for each character without providing a continuous layer over the whole area of the permanent markings.
- the fabric remains very flexible as there is no continuous layerof resin applied to it
- Heat transfers according to the present invention can be prepared according to the following examples which serve to illustrate, not to limit, the invention.
- Formulation 2 A lacquer is prepared using:
- Formulation 3 Formulation 4 A clear lacquer is prepared from:
- cross-linking agent (melamine precondensate containing methoxy methyl groups also obtainable from Rhodiaceta),
- Formulation 5 A blue-colour printing ink is prepared from:
- a clear lacquer is prepared from:
- a screen having 50 threads per linear centimetre has a stencil bearing a repetitive design applied to it by the method common to the screen printing industry.
- inks of formulations 3 or 5 the design is printed on to a temporary support such as a laminate of polyester film and paper, printing machine conditions being adjusted to give an average design thickness of 10 micrometres, after drying.
- the transfers may be heat sealed to textile fabrics such as cotton shirting (easy-care resin finished), warpknit nylon, or rayon satin, using a heat and pressure sealing machine set at 200C, 8 seconds and 2 Kg/cm After removal of the temporary support the labelled fabrics were highly flexible and the transferred print had a sharp appearance, considerably more legible than a woven or printed fabric label.
- textile fabrics such as cotton shirting (easy-care resin finished), warpknit nylon, or rayon satin
- the applied labels showed good resistance to repeated laundering, dry cleaning, ironing and pressing.
- Example 11 The printed sheets of Example 11 were printed once more using the same clear and unpigmented formulations as before, to give a total dry thickness of about 30 micrometres, and cut into individual transfers.
- the transfer machine was adjusted to 200C., 8 seconds, 4 Kglcm
- the labels were applied on to cotton drill overalls, cotton jersey, sports-wear,cotton denim, nylon overalls and showed fine print detail as well as excellent resistance to repeated, vigorous laundering.
- EXAMPLE lV Formulation 7 An aluminium pigmented ink is prepared from: 15 parts methoxymethyl nylon (Nylon resin 829 from of New York),
- Formulation 7 is printed through the 70 screen, the dry thickness achieved being about 5 micrometres.
- Formulation 2 is then printed through the 40 screen, in register so that the unpigmented print just overlaps the design in all directions.
- the total thickness is about 20 micrometres.
- solubilised polyamides soluble copolyamides and acrylic resins
- acrylic resins the latter being available in the form of aqueous emulsions but there are a number of other crosslinking resin systems which provide the required properties.
- a further example is a terpolymer consisting of a major proportion of butyl acrylate, a smaller proportion of acrylonitrile and a very small proportion of acrylic acid, a typical resin comprising for example 55% butyl acrylate, 44% acrylonitrile and 1% acrylic acid.
- An ink formulation using such a resin is as follows:
- Formulation 8 Acrylic latex containing 45% of a The ingredients 2, 3, 4 and 5 are thoroughly dispersed before addition to the latex.
- a similar formulation may be used as a clear lacquer, the aluminium powder being omitted.
- inks clear lacquer solutions and'dispersions may be replaced by other formulations such as are described in the specifications referred to above.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a marked textile article showing part of a marking bonded to the textile article in which the clear lacquer layer is substantially coincident with each of the symbols
- FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1 showing part of a marking bonded to the textile article in which the clear r #6 I f the portion, of the transfer correspond- "ing tothe linelIL-llhin' FIG. '2:
- a textile article 4 hasbeen prov idedi with a marking. consisting of letters, symbols, de- .Y. S,-r:t -1' supportedxi rectly on the textile article 4,. each symbol kerepresented by the sy mbols which are beihgrseparate and distinct andwithout-a continuous lacque r layer over the whole area of the marking.
- the transfer was prepared in accordance with Examples II, III or IV, and it will be seen that the clear lacquer 6 extends slightly beyond the boundaries of the symbols 5.
- FIG. 3 shows a suitable heat transfer for use in producing the result shown in FIG. 2.
- a temporary support 7 as specified in the foregoing examples incorporates the printed symbol areas 5 and printed areas 6 of clear lacquer which are superimposed on the symbol markings and are of slightly greater dimensions so as to extend over the boundaries of the symbol markings.
- a method of producing permanent markings on flexible articles comprising applying under heat and pressure a transfer consisting of a temporary support having release properties and having printed thereon a pattern or marking consisting of distinct informative characters incorporating a heat-curable resin system and a pigment, the heat and pressure serving to bond the characters to the surface of the article and to efiect curing of the resin, in which the characters of the transfer are each covered with a superimposed layer of a clear heat-curable resin system in a manner to overlap the boundary edges of the characters and which is bonded to the article to be marked with the character supported primarily by the clear resin without providing a continuous layer over the whole area of the permanent markings, said transfer being prepared by first printing the characters on the temporary support with a fine screen mesh and then printing the superimposed layer of clear resin system on the characters with a coarse screen mesh, each of said screens including a photographically produced stencil, the stencil associated with the coarse screen mesh being of increased size to increase the size of the printing area in every direction and to ensure that the clear heat-curable resin layer overlaps the
- a method of marking flexible textile articles comprising a. forming a marking element by applying a plurality of marking characters comprising a heat-curable resin ink to a temporary support having release properties, and then applying a superimposed layer of a clear heat-curable resin system overlapping the boundary edge of each of said characters but not as a continuous layer over the entire area of said plu- 7 rality of characters, said marking characters and superimposed layer being applied to said temporary support by a fine screen mesh and a coarse screen mesh respectively, each of said screens including a photographically produced stencil, the stencil associated with said'coarse screen mesh being prepared photographically by inter'posing a thick sheet of transparent film between a positive and the stencil to scatter the projected light to increase the size of the printing area in' every direc:
