摘要:
The invention provides a photographic article having a protected image which comprisesa) a colored image disposed on a substrate; andb) a thin, transparent, colorless, thermoplastic adhesive composition directly on the surface of the image, wherein said adhesive is substantially non-tacky at room temperature, and comprises one or more thermoplastic polymers of copolymers capable of forming a flexible film, said adhesive being capable of being transferred directly to the image when the adhesive is first disposed on the release surface of a temporary support and said image and adhesive are laminated together under pressure at temperatures of between about 60.degree. C. and about 90.degree. C. and said temporary support is peeled away; andc) a non-self supporting antiblocking layer directly on said adhesive said antiblocking layer being transparent, colorless and comprises one or more organic polymers or copolymers, which coating does not cohesively block at about 50.degree. C. or less.
摘要:
The invention provides a method for protecting an image which comprises providing a colored image on a substrate and either:A. Applying an antiblocking layer to a release surface of a temporary support; bonding a thermoplastic adhesive layer to said antiblocking layer; laminating said applied support to said colored image via said adhesive; and peeling away said temporary support from said antiblocking layer; orB. applying a thermoplastic adhesive layer to a release surface of a first temporary support; applying an antiblocking layer onto a release surface of a second temporary support, laminating said adhesive onto said colored image and peeling away said first temporary support; and laminating said antiblocking layer onto said adhesive layer and peeling away said second temporary support;wherein said adhesive layer is substantially nontacky at room temperature, is laminated at temperatures between about 60.degree. C. and 90.degree. C., and comprises one or more thermoplastic polymers or copolymers; andwherein said antiblocking layer comprises one or more organic polymers or copolymers, which layer does not cohesively block at about 50.degree. C. or less.
