Abstract:
A tape comprising a biaxially-oriented backing made from a polymeric film bearing on one major surface thereof a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive and on the other major surface thereof a layer of low-adhesive backsize composition. The backing and the layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive intermix so as to form a commingled layer between them. This invention also provides a process of preparing pressure-sensitive adhesive tape comprising the steps of (1) providing an extruded polymeric film backing, (2) orienting said backing in the machine direction, (3) applying a low-adhesive backsize layer to one major surface of said backing, (4) applying a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to the major surface of said backing not bearing the low-adhesion backsize layer, (5) orienting the layer-bearing backing in the transverse direction by heating and cross-stretching the layer-bearing backing, (6) winding the machine direction oriented, transverse direction oriented, layer-bearing backing onto a roll, and (7) optionally, converting the machine direction oriented, transverse direction oriented, layer-bearing backing to form a tape.

C. which is obtained by copolymerizing5 to 60% by weight of a fluorine-containing (meth)-acrylic ester, 10 to 60% by weight of a hydroxyl group-containing (meth)acrylic ester, 0.2 to 10% by weight of a vinyl monomer containing an acidic group, 15 to 70% by weight of a (meth)acrylic ester and 5 to 50% by weight of another vinyl monomer, anda polyisocyanate compound;a ratio X/Y of an equivalent (X) of the OH group present in the acrylic copolymer to an equivalent (Y) of the NCO group in the polyisocyanate compound being in the range of from 1/0.5 to 1/1.5.
Abstract:
Paint compositions which contain stretchable polymers and reflective metal flakes are used to form stretchable films for the thermoforming of protective and decorative films on various articles, including automobile panels. The use of low melting metallic flakes improves the retention of gloss when the films are stretched during thermoforming.
Abstract:
Nonporous materials are coated with a porous silicon dioxide layer by coating the nonporous material with a polymeric alkoxysiloxane and then subjecting this coating to a hydrolytic polycondensation with an aqueous basic solution. The thusobtained product is then dried.

A composite structure having a co-curable or co-cured coated epoxy-based composite material coated with a co-curable epoxy-based adhesive surfacing material layer and a polyurethane-based coating material layer, along with components and large objects including the co-curable or co-cured coated epoxy-based composite structures.
Abstract:
In some embodiments, a polymer film includes a base composition of poly(ethylene-vinyl acetate) and a surface composition comprising hydroxy groups. In some embodiments, a polymer film includes a base layer of a first composition of poly(ethylene-vinyl acetate), a surface layer at a surface of the base layer, and a coating layer of a second composition of a copolymer of glycerol and sebacic acid. The surface layer includes surface hydroxy groups converted from acetate groups of the poly(ethylene-vinyl acetate). The second composition is attached to the surface layer by ester bonds between carboxyl groups of the copolymer and the hydroxy groups. A single-use bioreactor bag includes a polymer film including a base composition of poly(ethylene-vinyl acetate) and a surface composition comprising hydroxy groups. A method of modifying a poly(ethylene-vinyl acetate) film includes converting acetate groups at a first surface of the poly(ethylene-vinyl acetate) film to hydroxy groups.
