Abstract

Adhesive compositions disclosed herein can be applied to substrates using flexo-printing (via, e.g., photopolymer plate); cured to a hardened, tack-free state; and readily be rendered tacky on application of heat and pressure to accurately transfer foil to the substrates. An example adhesive composition includes a monomer component, an oligomer/resin component including one or more oligomers and one or more inert thermoplastic resins that are soluble in the monomers, and, where required, one or more free radical polymerization initiators.
