Abstract
Various tags and adhesive labels are described which can be used in high temperature environments such as up to 1,000° C. The tags and labels include a substrate having one or more high temperature printable coatings. The labels can also include pressure sensitive adhesives and optional release liners.
Claims32
A printable tag for high temperature applications, the tag comprising:
- a coated substrate defining at least one print receptive face, the coated substrate having a high temperature printable coating that constitutes the print receptive face, wherein the coating comprises pigment dispersed in a binder comprising silicate/phosphate, and wherein the coating does not comprise a siloxane binder.
A printable adhesive label for high temperature applications, the label comprising:
- a substrate defining a first face and an oppositely directed second face;
- a pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on the second face of the substrate;
- a high temperature printable coating disposed on the first face of the substrate, wherein the coating comprises pigment dispersed in binder comprising silicate/phosphate, and wherein the coating does not comrprise a siloxane binder.
A method of labeling a surface having a temperature within a range of from 500° C. to 1,000° C., the method comprising:
- providing a label including (i) a substrate defining a first face and an oppositely directed second face, (ii) a pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on the second face of the substrate, and (iii) a high temperature printable coating disposed on the first face of the substrate, wherein the coating comprises pigment dispersed in a binder comprising silicate/phosphate, and wherein the coating does not comprise a siloxane binder;
- and
- applying the label to a surface having a temperature within a range of from 500° C. to 1,000° C.
A method of providing identification of a component subjected to a temperature up to 1,000° C., the method comprising:
- providing an adhesive label including (i) a substrate defining a first face and an oppositely directed second face, (ii) a pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on the second face of the substrate, and (iii) a high temperature printable coating disposed on the first face of the substrate, wherein the coating comprises pigment dispersed in a binder comprising silicate/phosphate, and wherein the coating does not comprise a siloxane binder;
- printing identification indicia on the coating;
- and
- contacting the pressure sensitive adhesive with the component.
