Antistatic composition for use in a label construction

A label construction comprising:

• a) a substrate having first and second major surfaces;
• b) a pressure sensitive adhesive on said second surface of said substrate;
• c) a release liner overlying said pressure sensitive adhesive;
• said release liner having first and second major surfaces and comprising a cellulosic substrate, said first surface of said release liner contacting said pressure sensitive adhesive;
• and
• d) an antistatic composition on said second surface of said release liner.

A continuous series of labels comprising:

• a web having a series of individual labels thereon, said web comprising first and second major surfaces;
• a pressure sensitive adhesive on said second surface of said web;
• a release liner overlying said pressure sensitive adhesive, said release liner having first and second major surfaces and comprising a cellulosic substrate, said first surface of said release liner contacting said pressure sensitive adhesive;
• and
• an antistatic composition on said second surface of said release liner.

A stack of individual labels, wherein each individual label comprises:

• a) a substrate having first and second major surfaces;
• b) a pressure sensitive adhesive on said second surface of said substrate;
• c) a release liner overlying said pressure sensitive adhesive;
• said release liner having first and second major surfaces and comprising a cellulosic substrate, said first surface of said release liner contacting said pressure sensitive adhesive;
• and
• d) an antistatic composition on said second surface of said release liner;
• wherein said antistatic composition on said release liner of one label in said stack contacts the surface of an adjacent label in said stack.

A label construction comprising:

• a) a substrate having first and second major surfaces;
• b) a pressure sensitive adhesive on said second surface of said substrate;
• c) a release liner overlying said pressure sensitive adhesive;
• said release liner having first and second major surfaces, said first surface of said release liner contacting said pressure sensitive adhesive;
• and
• d) an antistatic composition on said second surface of said release liner, said antistatic composition comprising an organic cationic polyelectrolyte, a binder, and a surfactant.
