摘要 |
A novel, layered, indicia-containing, surface-coating composite for application to a substrate F such as a floor is disclosed. The novel composite comprises a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive (16) and a layer of indicia (14, 15) having the layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive (16) on one side thereof. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (16) secures the indicia layer (14, 15) to the floor F. "Tack" properties of the pressure-sensitive adhesive (16) may range from 50 to 2000 grams per square centimeter. The novel composite further includes an alkali-soluble transparent polymeric layer (18) on the opposite side of the indicia layer (14, 15). Also disclosed is a method of applying, and then selectively removing, such an indicia-containing surfacecoating composite from the floor F.
