Abstract
A scratch-off coating is provided which includes a first layer of ink comprised of a water-based ink; and a second layer of ink comprised of an ultraviolet-cured ink layered over said first layer of ink, wherein upon application of a scratching force said first layer of ink and said second layer of ink are removable from a surface on which said first layer of ink and said second layer of ink are applied.
Claims24
A scratch-off marking pad comprising:
- a first layer comprising a polymer film;
- a second layer comprising a release coating, the release coating having a low surface energy and the second layer being in direct contact with the first layer;
- a third layer comprising an opaque water-based ink, the third layer being in direct contact with the second layer;
- and
- a fourth layer comprising an opaque ultraviolet (UV) light-cured water-resistant ink, the fourth layer being in direct contact with the third layer,
- where the color of the first layer is contrasting to the combined color of the third layer and the fourth layer,
- where the third layer and the fourth layer are strongly adhered to one another, and
- where the adhesion between the first layer and the third layer is weak enough such that a scratching force applied to the fourth layer will remove a portion of the third layer and a portion of the fourth layer to expose a portion of the first layer, the exposed portion having a visible shape that follows the shape of the scratching force.

A scratch-off marking pad comprising:
- a first layer comprising an adhesive bottom surface, a silicone upper surface, and a polymer film, the polymer film positioned between the bottom surface and the upper surface;
- a second layer comprising an opaque water-based ink, the second layer being in direct contact with the upper surface of the first layer;
- and
- a third layer comprising an opaque ultraviolet (UV) light-cured water resistant ink, the third layer being in direct contact with the second layer,
- where the color of the polymer film is contrasting to the combined color of the opaque water-based ink and the UV light-cured water resistant ink,
- where the second layer and the third layer are strongly adhered to one another, and
- where the adhesion between the polymer film and the third layer is weak enough such that a scratching force applied to the third layer will remove a portion of the second layer and a portion of the third layer to expose a portion of the polymer film, the exposed portion having a visible shape that follows the shape of the scratching force.
