Abstract:
Layered articles for applying color on a surface including a sheet of visually-perceivable color effects, a bonding agent capable of bonding the sheet to the surface, and a releasable liner removably attached to the sheet. The article further includes a substance, agent or barrier that prevents or, at the least, reduces the transfer of an extraneous agent from the surface to a location in the layered article that would affect the visually-perceivable color effect conveyed by the sheet.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition containing an acrylic polymer and a tackifier obtained by acid modification of a tackifier resin inherently free of an acid component; a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape including a substrate made of a film comprising an olefin polymer or a thermoplastic resin containing a carbonyl oxygen atom in the molecular skeleton, and the acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition on at least one surface of the substrate, and the like. The invention provides an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition having high adhesive strength (particularly initial adhesive strength) to an adherend having lower polarity, such as an olefin polymer heretofore been considered poorly adhesive, wherein degradation of the adhesive strength after heating and preservation has been suppressed, as well as a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape comprising the composition. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of the present invention is also useful for binding.

The polymer comprises the polymerization reaction product of a polymerizable aqueous emulsion comprising: (i) a hydrophobic monomer mixture of at least one alkyl acrylate or alkyl methacrylate ester of an alcohol wherein the alkyl portion of the alcohol is linear or branched and contains at least 4 carbon atoms, and at least one styrenic monomer, wherein the styrenic monomer is up to about 30 wt. % of the total hydrophobic monomer mixture, (ii) at least about 1 wt. % of at least one hydrophilic monomer, (iii) at least about 5 wt. % of at least one partially hydrophilic monomer selected from alkyl acrylate or alkyl methacrylate esters of an alcohol wherein the alkyl portion of the alcohol has 1 to 2 carbon atoms, N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone, or mixtures thererof, and (iv) a water-soluble or water-dispersible polymerizable surfactant selected from compounds having a terminal allyl amine moiety, polyoxyalkylene-1-(allyloxymethyl)alkyl ether sulfate salts, or mixtures thereof, and the average particle size of the polymer is less than or equal to 200 nm. Also disclosed are processes for preparing same.
Abstract:
A low stress to seal, unitary gasket tape is provided that is particularly suited for use in form-in-place gaskets. The gasket tape preferably comprises at least two joined porous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) tapes aligned along tape side surfaces and a substantially air impermeable layer there between. The plane of expansion of the ePTFE is substantially parallel to the flange surface providing longitudinal and transverse strength. The substantially air impermeable layer prevents fluid from permeating through the gasket in the radial direction.

A pressure-sensitive adhesive polymer comprising a reaction product of a C1 to C20 alkyl (meth)acrylate, an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid, a C2 to C8 hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate, a vinyl aromatic, optionally a ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing sulfonic acid, and optionally a vinyl ester of a carboxylic acid. The pressure-sensitive adhesive polymer can provide adhesion and cohesion in a temperature range from −30° C. to 50° C. for the All-temperature pressure-sensitive adhesive market.

The present invention relates to a pressure sensitive adhesive composition comprising a copolymer comprising pyrrolidonoethyl acrylate or pyrrolidonoethyl methacrylate. This composition may be used as part of a transdermal drug delivery device.
Abstract:
A removable pressure-sensitive adhesive which, even when applied to metal sheets or to metallic members which have undergone a coating treatment, is inhibited from increasing in adhesive force with the lapse of time and can be easily removed therefrom and which has satisfactory weatherability and satisfactory pot life contains 100 parts by weight on a solid basis of an aqueous dispersion type acrylic copolymer obtained by polymerizing a monomer mixture in an aqueous medium in the presence of a nonionic surfactant and/or an anionic surfactant each having an ethylenic double bond and 0.1 to 3 parts by weight of a hindered-amine light stabilizer having a piperidine ring in which the nitrogen atom has a tertiary amine structure; and an adhesive sheet is produced with the adhesive.
Abstract:
A self-wound decorative dry paint transfer laminate includes a layer of dry paint, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on one side of the dry paint layer, and a release liner in releasable contact with the dry paint layer on a side opposite from the pressure-sensitive adhesive. The release liner has a matte release coat layer that contacts the dry paint layer. The matte release coat releasably adheres to the dry paint layer to provide a protective function but also to transfer a decorative matte finish to the dry paint layer when the release liner is removed from the dry paint layer. The opposite side of the release liner has an adhesive release coat that contacts the pressure-sensitive adhesive when the laminate is in a self-wound form. The release liner preferentially releases from the pressure-sensitive adhesive when the laminate is unwound while maintaining adhesion to the matte release coat, and then after unwinding and application to a substrate surface, the release liner releases from the dry paint layer.
