Abstract

See full text

An improved release agent for linerless pressure sensitive postage stamps, comprising a low adhesion backsize, preferably organo polysiloxane polyurea block copolymer, as disclosed by Tushaus, et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 5,290,615), containing therein a dispersion of calcium carbonate in the range of 2 to 7 percent by weight, and polyvinyl pyrrolidone in the range of 4 to 10 percent. The combined level of both additives to said low adhesion backsize is about 8 to 12 percent. The preferred levels of each additive are: polyvinyl pyrrolidone at 4 percent and calcium carbonate at 4 percent, to achieve a desired minimum drying time for cancellation ink imposed upon a surface of said release agent.
