Embodiment

[0064] Conformable removable film based articles were prepared using direct contact (flexographic) printing. The resulting construction provides conformable removable film-based articles that provide good removability, as measured by the Peel-Extend-to-Crush test, while providing surface protection of the film through the hardcoat, as demonstrated in the Examples below Show.

[0065] These examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the appended claims. All parts, percentages, ratios, etc. in the examples, as well as in the remainder of the specification, are by weight unless otherwise indicated. Solvents and other reagents used were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Company, St. Louis, Missouri unless otherwise indicated. The following abbreviations BCM = billion cubic microns; m / min = meters per minute; mm = millimeters; cm = centimeters; um = micrometers are used herein.

example

[0082] Example preparation :

[0083] A flexographic printing plate having the patterns shown in Table 1 was mounted on a smooth roll of a flexographic printing unit using a 1060 Cushion-Mount flex plate mounting belt from 3M Company. Using conventional methods and equipment, the acrylate formulations described above were introduced into a flexographic printing unit and transferred by the anilox rolls shown in Table 1 onto the printing surface of a flexographic printing plate. The printable composition was then transferred from the anilox roll to the printable film F2, moving at a line speed of about 3 meters / minute. The coated film was then passed through a UV curing unit (available from XericWeb, Neenah, WI) in-line with the printing unit, allowing the liquid material to satisfactorily cure to form a solid film. Note that Example E4 was double printed. A first print pass was made and cured, then a second print was applied over the first print and cured (see Table 1).

Abstract

The present invention discloses a conformable removable film based article having a patterned discontinuous upper protective layer. The upper layer can be configured to facilitate enhanced removability of the film from the substrate to which it is applied, such as the exterior surface of an automobile.

Description

Background technique [0001] Pressure sensitive adhesives are often used to bond the film to the substrate. Films are typically bonded to a variety of different substrates including, for example, surfaces on automotive vehicles. Removal of such membranes is traditionally accomplished by manual pulling on the edges of such membranes, which may rupture the membrane. Contents of the invention [0002] A film having a patterned protective coating that facilitates easy removal while retaining the protective and visibility aspects of the protective coating. In one embodiment, the patterned protective coating includes island-like features that may or may not be visible to the observer with a density that affects surface protection. In some embodiments, these patterned films may be less prone to breakage upon removal, facilitating easy removal. [0003] In one embodiment, a conformable removable film based article is described, the article comprising a conformable film having a fi...
