  • Dry erase articles can provide many advantageous benefits.

In the editing situation, a smear resistant board affords more control to erase only the desired portions. Also, due to the robust nature of the hardcoat, dry erase articles of the invention are more abrasion and scuff resistant than are many previously available alternative dry erase materials.
  • the method of using such articles comprises: (1) providing a writing member of the invention; (2) writing first written matter on the writing surface using a writing instrument; and (3) erasing at least a portion of the first written matter.

An erasable writing surface can be erased and reused rather than being discarded after a single use. As an added benefit, the invention provides a conventional writing surface with smear resistance to accidental or deliberate contact with hands.

  • articles of the invention are used as dry erase articles.
  • Acceptance of ink on writing surface 16 as written indicia without beading of the ink can be defined as the "wettability" of the dry erase writing surface. Wettability refers to a writing line that can retain its shape and continuity as the solvent dries. Dewetting of the solvent causes the line to move in or break at certain points, causing voids in the writing. Acceptable wettability (or writing without dewetting) is typically accomplished if the surface energy of the writing surface is greater than the surface tension of the solvents in the marker inks. On some matte dry erase films, dewetting of dry erase markers can be hard to detect by the naked eye. Sometimes the dewetting occurs between the peaks or high roughness areas on the film. This "microscopic" dewetting can be observed under a microscope.
  • the writing surface additionally provides a level of "erasability" which allows the user to wipe away (e.g. with a dry cloth or dry eraser) indicia written with a dry erase marker once it is no longer desired.
  • Low surface energy components may be added to the writing surface in order to improve the erasability as long as the writing surface accepts dry erase writing without macroscopic or microscopic dewetting. Reducing the surface energy is thought to prevent tenacious adhesive of the binders and other solids in the marker inks to the writing surface.
  • the present invention provides a dry erase article with reduced gloss, ability to project on the surface, resistance to smear of dry erase writing, and convenient erase on demand performance.
  • the dry erase article accepts ink from all dry erase markers and in some embodiments is erasable by standard dry erasers, a 3M SCOTCH-BRITETM High Performance Cleaning Cloth, or by the 3MTM Whiteboard Eraser. In the case of embodiments with higher Rz, it has been found that a higher performance eraser such as a 3M SCOTCH-BRITETM High Performance Cleaning Cloth or 3MTM Whiteboard Eraser should be used. Dry erase articles of the invention can also be cleaned with commercially available dry erase cleaners if desired.
  • Optional backing 14 is selected to impart desired performance, e.g., color background to the writing surface, reflective properties in the case of dry erase articles with improved projection capability, transmission properties in the case of a dry erase overlay, etc.
  • the dry erase article comprises a coating 12 on a substrate 14 with an adhesive coated on the second side of 14 and a release liner on the back of the adhesive.
  • the dry erase article is a substrate with a coating on one side and an adhesive on the other side, in which the article is laminated to a second substrate which is then framed to make a dry erase board.
  • the writing surface of articles of the invention will have an Rz value of at least 1 micron. In some embodiments it is preferable to have an Rz value of around 10 um. In other embodiments, it is preferable to have an Rz value of 15 um or greater.
  • Rz is preferably greater than about 10 microns.
  • Projection screens generally have a 60° gloss value of less than 30.
  • a projection screen has a 60° gloss value of less than 20.
  • the present invention provides for a dry erase article with a 60° gloss value of less than 20. Reduction of gloss value is desirable for reduction of so-called hot spots, improving the legibility of information written or, in the case of projection embodiments, projected on the dry erase article.
  • the dry erase article When Rz is greater than about 15 microns, the dry erase article is resistant to smear of dry erase ink by casual contact. Information can be easily lost from a conventional dry erase article when the writing is accidentally erased by contact with a hand or with clothing.
  • the present invention provides for surface structures on the dry erase article that are large enough to protect the writing from accidental erasing. With such embodiments it is typically preferred to use high performance erasing devices, e.g., a 3M SCOTCH-
