Abstract
The present invention relates to articles having a printed surface as well as flexible coating and film compositions that are printable in combination with exhibiting stain resistance. The composition comprises a hard component having an elongation of less than about 150%, a soft component having an elongation of greater than about 200%, and a cross-linking agent. The hard component preferably comprises a thermoplastic polyurethane, acrylic polymer, polymeric polyol or mixture thereof. The soft component preferably comprises a thermoplastic urethane, polymeric polyol, or mixture thereof; whereas the cross-linking agent is preferably an isocyanate.
Claims21
An article comprising:
- a flexible film substrate and a layer comprising the reaction product of:
- a hard polymeric component having an elongation up to about 150%;
- a soft component having an elongation ranging from about 200% to about 800% after cross-linking;
- and a cross-linking agent;
- and
- an ink on said layer.
An article comprising:
- a flexible film substrate and a layer comprising the reaction product of:
- a hard component having an elongation up to about 150%;
- a soft component having an elongation ranging from about 200% to about 600% after cross-linking;
- and a cross-linking agent;
- wherein said layer is flexible, printable, and stain resistant.
An article comprising:
- retroreflective sheeting comprising a layer wherein the layer comprises a reaction product of:
- a hard polymeric component having an elongation up to about 150%;
- a soft component having an elongation ranging from about 200% to about 800% after cross-linking;
- and a cross-linking agent;
- and
- an ink on said layer.
