  • the present invention provides a process for the production of a flexible laminate, which process comprises applying to a surface of a flexible substrate a curable composition in fluid form and comprising a plastics material as a pattern which can provide a desired image or imaging effect, positioning a metal foil bearing a holographic image and having a layer of

  • the process of the invention uses a composition which comprises a plastics material suspended in a plasticiser. More preferably, in such compositions the plastics material is PVC and the plasticiser is a plastisol ink.
  • a plastics material is PVC and the plasticiser is a plastisol ink.
  • a plastisol ink is sold as Metatran.
  • the metal foil bearing a holographic image may be any flexible metal foil, but preferably, is an aluminium foil.
  • Such foils are commercially available as hot stamping foils bearing a holographic pattern which are produced to provide a foil to be applied to a rigid substrate, typically a rigid plastics material.
  • the rigid substrate provides a support for the foil so that the holographic effect may be stabilized.
  • the size of a commercial foil is a PVC (polyvinyl chloride) , which is preferred for the foils used in the invention, but other plastics size layers may be employed in the present invention provided they can be adhered to a compatible plastics material in a composition as described above.
  • the foil used in the process of the invention preferably includes a release layer on that surface of the metal foil which does not carry the layer of plastics size. That release layer can serve to provide additional protection for the holographic pattern and is removed after treatment in the process of the invention and before the holographic effect is required.
  • a typical release layer may comprise a polymeric material, for example, a polyester.

Furthermore, the construction and arrangement of the station may be varied to suit continuous or batch operation. Thus, in one preferred aspect of the invention the laminating station may comprise at least two rollers between which the foil and substrate may be fed to be pressed together and heated.

Finally, the foil was carefully peeled away to remove excess (unstuck) foil to leave a tee- shirt finely decorated with a holographic pattern in the image of the pattern of adhesive laid down with the silk screen.
  • the tee-shirt with the holographic image was machine washable at 40°C and could be tumble dried without destruction of the image or the holographic effect.

Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à un procédé de production d'un stratifié souple. Le procédé consiste à appliquer sur la surface d'un substrat souple une composition, fluide, durcissable se composant de matières plastiques représentant un motif permettant d'obtenir une image souhaitée ou un effet d'image. Une feuille de métal supportant une image holographique et comportant une couche d'encollage plastique est positionnée de sorte que la couche d'encollage soit superposée au motif tandis que la composition reste fluide. On applique ensuite à ladite composition de la chaleur et de la pression à un niveau et pour une durée tels que l'on puisse faire adhérer la feuille au substrat par l'intermédiaire de matières plastiques tout en maintenant l'effet holographique. Par la suite, on enlève l'excédent de feuille qui n'avait pas adhéré au substrat afin d'exposer l'image souhaitée ou l'effet d'image. On obtient un stratifié souple, lavable en machine, comportant une image holographique souple.
