Heat-resistant label

A sheet material, comprising:

• a heat-resistant base layer;
• a heat-decomposable ink-receptive layer over a surface of the base layer;
• a heat-decomposable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer over another surface of the base layer;
• and
• a heat-resistant marking on a surface of the ink-receptive layer.

A printing sheet, comprising:

• a heat-resistant base layer comprising a reinforcing material, inorganic particles, and a silicone resin;
• a heat-decomposable ink-receptive layer over a surface of the base layer, the ink-receptive layer comprising an acrylic-based polymer;
• a heat-decomposable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer over another surface of the base layer, the adhesive layer comprising an acrylic-based polymer;
• and
• a heat-resistant marking on a surface of the ink-receptive layer.

A printing sheet, comprising:

• a non-heat decomposable base layer of an inorganic material;
• a heat-decomposable ink-receptive layer of an organic material, over a surface of the base layer;
• and
• a heat-decomposable adhesive layer of an organic material, over another surface of the base layer.

A printing sheet, comprising:

• a base layer of a non-heat decomposable inorganic material;
• an ink-receptive layer of a heat-decomposable organic material, over a surface of the base layer;
• and
• a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of a heat-decomposable organic material, over another surface of the base layer.

A method of producing a pattern on a substrate, comprising the steps of:

• (a) adhering a sheet material to the substrate via a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on the sheet material, the sheet material comprising:
• a heat-resistant base layer;
• a heat-decomposable ink-receptive layer over a surface of the base layer;
• and
• the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer over another surface of the base layer, the adhesive layer being heat-decomposable;
• and
• a heat-resistant marking on a surface of the ink-receptive layer;
• (b) heating the sheet material and the substrate such that the ink-receptive layer and the adhesive layer decompose and the marking is adhered to the substrate.

A method of fabricating a sheet material for a label, comprising the steps:

• applying a heat-decomposable ink-receptive layer onto a surface of a base layer comprising a reinforcing material layer, a silicone resin, and inorganic particles;
• applying a heat-decomposable adhesive layer to an opposing surface of the base layer;
• and
• applying a heat-resistant marking onto a surface of the ink-receptive layer.
