Abstract:
A method of making extensible web laminates comprising a multilayer film and at least one web layer and the use of such extensible web laminates in personal care articles. The method generally includes activating the multilayer film in a first direction by stretching at least a portion of the multilayer film past the elastic deformation limit of the skin layers and recovering the skin layers with the elastomeric core layer to produce a multilayer film that is elastic in the first direction. The activated multilayer film is subsequently stretched beyond the deformation limit of the skin layers in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. At least one web layer is applied to the multilayer film while in the stretched state. The multilayer film is then recovered to produce an extensible web laminate.
Abstract:
Protected hardenable dental article comprising a hardenable dental article comprising a base and at least one outer surface extending from the base, wherein at least the base and the at least one outer surface of the hardenable dental article comprise a hardenable dental material; and a multi-layer polymeric film in contact with at least a portion of the at least one outer surface; wherein the multi-layer polymeric film comprises at least two dissimilar polymers in separate layers; kits including the protected hardenable dental article; and methods of making hardenable dental articles are disclosed.
Abstract:
There is provided a barrier film including a barrier layer having two opposing major surfaces, a first organic layer in direct contact with one of the opposing major surfaces of the barrier layer; a second organic layer in direct contact with the other of the opposing major surfaces of the barrier layer; and a substrate in direct contact with the first organic layer or the second organic layer; wherein the barrier layer comprises buckling deformations with average spacing smaller than average spacing of the buckling deformations in the first or second organic layer.
Abstract:
There is provided a barrier film including a barrier layer having two opposing major surfaces, wherein the barrier layer comprise buckling deformations and non-buckling regions; a first organic layer in direct contact with one of the opposing major surfaces of the barrier layer; a second organic layer in direct contact with the other of the opposing major surfaces of the barrier layer; and a substrate in direct contact with the first organic layer or the second organic layer.
Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to stretch-releasable adhesive articles that are capable of attaching or adhering to a substrate and that can be removed from the substrate without causing damage to the substrate. The present disclosure also generally relates to methods of making and using such adhesive articles.
Abstract:
A peelable adhesive article capable of adhering to a substrate wherein subsequent removal of the adhesive does not damage the substrate, and methods of making and using said peelable adhesive article. The adhesive articles comprise a peelable adhesive adjacent to a major surface of a backing, wherein the backing has a modulus of elasticity and/or modulus of secant between 100 to 18,000 psi as measured by ASTM D638-14 and/or ASTM D412-06a. The backing may be a multilayer backing comprising a core layer and at least one skin layer in a ratio of 2: 1 to 100: 1.
Abstract:
The present application is directed to a method of using a hardenable dental article. The method can include providing the hardenable dental article; applying the hardenable dental article to a dental structure; customizing the shape of the hardenable dental article; and at least partially curing the hardenable dental article.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates generally to a flashing tape used in construction applications to seal out moisture, and methods of using the same. The tape constructions disclosed include a viscoelastic core layer and at least one elastomeric skin layer, and may further contain a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive to attach the flashing tape to a substrate.
