Abstract
A hydraulic transfer film includes: a water-soluble substrate, a pattern-forming layer formed on the water-soluble substrate and having a water-soluble region and an oil-soluble region, an oil-soluble pattern layer formed on the pattern-forming layer, an oil-soluble base layer formed on the oil-soluble pattern layer, and an activating layer including a curable activating agent that permeates into the oil-soluble region, the oil-soluble pattern layer, and the oil-soluble base layer such that the oil-soluble region, the oil-soluble pattern layer, and the oil-soluble base layer are partly soluble in the curable activating agent. A method of forming the hydraulic transfer film and a pattern film are also disclosed.
Claims17
A hydraulic transfer film, comprising:
- a water-soluble substrate;
- a pattern-forming layer formed on said water-soluble substrate, and having at least one water-soluble region and at least one oil-soluble region;
- an oil-soluble pattern layer formed on said pattern-forming layer;
- an oil-soluble base layer formed on said oil-soluble pattern layer;
- and
- an activating layer formed on said oil-soluble base layer and including a curable activating agent that permeates into said oil-soluble region, said oil-soluble pattern layer, and said oil-soluble base layer such that said oil-soluble region, said oil-soluble pattern layer, and said oil-soluble base layer are partly soluble in said curable activating agent during a hydraulic transfer process.
A pattern film comprising:
- an activating layer including a cured activating agent;
- an oil-soluble base layer formed on said activating layer;
- an oil-soluble first pattern layer;
- and
- an oil-soluble second pattern layer that is formed between said oil-soluble first pattern layer and said oil-soluble base layer, said oil-soluble first pattern layer being protruding from and partially covering said oil-soluble second pattern layer so as to define a three-dimensional pattern;
- wherein said oil-soluble base layer, said oil-soluble second pattern layer, and said oil-soluble first pattern layer are admixed with said cured activating agent permeating from said activating layer.
A method of forming a hydraulic transfer film, comprising:
- (a) forming a pattern-forming layer on a water-soluble substrate, the pattern-forming layer having at least one water-soluble region and at least one oil-soluble region;
- (b) forming an oil-soluble pattern layer on the pattern-forming layer;
- (c) forming an oil-soluble base layer on the oil-soluble pattern layer;
- and
- (d) forming an activating layer on the oil-soluble base layer, the activating layer including a curable activating agent that permeates into the oil-soluble base layer, the oil-soluble pattern layer, and the oil-soluble region, such that the oil-soluble base layer, the oil-soluble pattern layer, and the oil-soluble region are partly soluble in the curable activating agent during a hydraulic transfer process.
