Abstract
The invention provides a method for fastening a polymeric label to a glass, plastic or metal container or surface by means of a water based adhesive composition by the following steps: (a) applying a layer of a hydrophilic solid material to a polymeric label to form a hydrophilic layer; (b) applying water or a water based adhesive to the hydrophilic layer to form a fastenable polymeric label; (c) fastening the fastenable polymeric label to a glass, plastic or metal container or surface; and (d) allowing said the polymeric label to dry on the glass, plastic or metal container or surface.
Claims45
A process for fastening a polymeric label made from a polymer film to a glass, plastic or metal container or a glass, plastic or metal surface by means of a water based adhesive composition, said method comprising:
- (a) applying a layer of a hydrophilic solid material which contains a crosslinking agent to said polymeric label to form a hydrophilic layer on said polymeric label;
- (b) applying a water based adhesive to said hydrophilic layer to form a fastenable polymeric label which will adhere to said glass, plastic or metal container or surface with sufficient tack to permit post labeling handling and processing without movement of said polymeric label;
- (c) fastening said fastenable polymeric label to a glass, plastic or metal container or surface;
- and
- allowing said fastenable polymeric label to dry on said glass, plastic or metal container or on said glass, plastic or metal surface.
A method for fastening a polymeric label made from a polymer film to a glass, plastic or metal container or a glass, plastic or metal surface by means of a water based adhesive composition, said method comprising:
- (a) applying a layer of a hydrophilic solid material which contains a crosslinking agent to said polymeric label to form a hydrophilic layer on said polymeric label;
- (b) applying a water based adhesive to said hydrophilic layer to form a fastenable polymeric label which will adhere to said glass, plastic or metal container or surface with sufficient tack to permit post labeling handling and processing without movement of said polymeric label and will cause said polymeric label to resist moisture in a 24 hour water soak test;
- (c) fastening said fastenable polymeric label to a glass, plastic or metal container or surface;
- and
- allowing said fastenable polymeric label to dry on said glass, plastic or metal container or said glass, plastic or metal surface.
