Abstract:
A pressure-sensitive adhesive having an excellent tack and adhesive strength is obtained from a composition which comprises an organic solvent solution of an alkenyl group-containing silicone polymer having a gum-like consistency, a tackifying silicone resin, a curing agent for the alkenyl group-containing silicone polymer and a platinum-containing catalyst. The composition can be cured by heating at relatively low temperatures.

Abstract:
The present invention provides an improved multi-layer composite of two or more polymeric layers at least one of which is formed from a thermosetting composition. The composite includes at least a first polymeric layer formed on a substrate and a second polymeric layer over the first polymeric layer, wherein in the absence of a boron-containing compound, the first and second polymeric layers have poor interlayer adhesion. The improvement resides in the inclusion of at least one boron-containing compound in one or both of the first and second polymeric layers in an amount sufficient to improve the interlayer adhesion between the first and second polymeric layers. Also provided is an improved curable coating composition used to form a multi-layer composite coating of two or more cured coating layers, at least one of which is formed from the thermosetting composition. Related methods and coated substrates are also provided.

Abstract:
Silicone pressure sensitive adhesive compositions which cure in the presence of moisture comprise an adhesive component which bears alkoxy radical-containing curing radicals and, optionally, a catalyst to accelerate the reaction of moisture with the alkoxy radicals to form siloxane bonds. Curing provides adhesives ranging from pressure sensitive adhesives having improved properties to permanent adhesives. The adhesives are useful for adhering an object to a surface and thereafter improving the bond between the object and the surface by exposure to moisture.
