Abstract

A printable recording media including a composite base substrate that contains, at least, two constituent material layers that are laminated together with a flame resistant adhesion layer containing an adhesive compound and up to 50% of a flame retardant agent by total weight of the flame resistant adhesion layer, wherein, at least, one of the constituent material layer is a fiber layer; and an image receiving layer that is coated on one side of the composite supporting substrate. Also disclosed are the method for making such printable recording media and the method for producing printed images on such printable recording media.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A printable recording media, comprising:
a. a composite base substrate that contains, at least, two constituent material layers that are laminated together with a flame resistant adhesion layer, containing an adhesive compound and up to 50% of a flame retardant agent by total weight of the flame resistant adhesion layer; wherein, at least, one of the constituent material layer is a fiber layer;
b. and an image receiving layer that is coated on one side of the composite supporting substrate.

2. The printable recording media of claim 1 wherein the two constituent material layers of the composite base substrate are fiber layers.

3. The printable recording media of claim 1 wherein the fiber layer of the composite base substrate contains a synthetic polymeric material as a first material and a natural fiber as a second material.

4. The printable recording media of claim 1 wherein the fiber layer of the composite base substrate contains a non-woven fiber structure that comprises synthetic polymeric materials within a range of about 5% to about 40% by weight of total fibers.

5. The printable recording media of claim 1 wherein one constituent material layer of the composite base substrate is a fabric layer.

6. The printable recording media of claim 1 wherein one constituent material layer of the composite base substrate is a fabric layer that comprises natural fibers and synthetic fibers wherein the amount of synthetic fibers represents from about 20% to about 90% of the total amount of fibers.

7. The printable recording media of claim 1 wherein the flame resistant adhesion layer forms a layer, between two constituent material layers of the composite base substrate, that has a coat weight ranging from about 30 gsm to about 60 gsm.

8. The printable recording media of claim 1 wherein, in the flame resistant adhesion layer, the ratio of the amount of adhesive compound to the amount of flame retardant agent is within the range of about 50:50 to about 80:20.

9. The printable recording media of claim 1 wherein the adhesive compound of the flame resistant adhesion layer is polymeric latex.

10. The printable recording media of claim 1 wherein the flame resistant adhesion layer further comprises a curing agent.

11. The printable recording media of claim 1 wherein the flame resistant adhesion layer comprises water-based epoxy resin as an adhesive compound and water-based polyamine as a curing agent.

12. The printable recording media of claim 1 wherein the flame retardant agent is selected from the group consisting of phosphorus-containing compounds, nitrogen-containing compounds, organophosphate compounds, alumina trihydrate and calcium carbonate.

13. The printable recording media of claim 1 that further comprises a barrier layer, including one or more types of pigment particles and polymer resin binder, which is deposited over the composite base substrate on the non-imaging side of the media.

14. A method for forming a printable recording media, comprising:
a. providing two constituent material layers wherein, at least, one of the constituent material layer is a fiber layer and a flame resistant adhesion layer containing an adhesive compound and up to 50% of a flame retardant agent by total weight of the flame resistant adhesion layer, wherein, at least, one of the constituent material layer is a fiber layer;
b. laminating the constituent material layers and the flame resistant adhesion layer to form a composite supporting base substrate;
c. and coating an image receiving layer onto a constituent material layer of the composite supporting base substrate.

15. A printing method that comprises:
a. obtaining a printable recording media comprising a composite base substrate that contains, at least, two constituent material layers that are laminated together with a flame resistant adhesion layer containing an adhesive compound and up to 50% of a flame retardant agent by total weight of the flame resistant adhesion layer, wherein, at least, one of the constituent material layer is a fiber layer; and an image receiving layer that is coated on one side of the composite supporting substrate;
b. and, then, applying an ink composition onto said printable recording media to form a printed image.
