Abstract:
A superstrong adhesive tape that in a strongly viscous structure simultaneously having an adhesive function and an adsorptive function, realizes an enhanced bonding strength. There is provided a super-strong adhesive tape comprising plastic foam material (2) having holes (20) opening on its adhesion-object side; and adhesive agent layer (3) fitted on the adhesion-object side of the plastic foam material (2) so as to form depressed portions (30) at positions corresponding to the holes (20). The depressed portions (30) are deformed into a nearly planar configuration in conformity with any compressive deformation of the plastic foam material (2), and exert an adsorptive function in accordance with the elastic recovery of the plastic foam material (2).
Abstract:
Use of an adhesive sheet having a carrier film provided with an adhesive on one side for covering microtitre plates, the adhesive being formed from at least one acid- or acid anhydride-modified vinylaromatic block copolymer, at least one tackifier resin and at least one metal chelate.
Abstract:
An adhesive bonding system joins flat webs when changing rolls of such webs. The adhesive bonding system comprises two adhesive tape boundary edges, and further comprises a top carrier layer and a bottom carrier layer, a flat connecting element that connects the two carrier layers to one another and is suitable for opening the connection under the conditions of a static or flying roll change. At least one of the boundary edges of the connecting element does not extend in a straight line, and a straight-line emphasis line is defined in relation to this boundary edge, the emphasis line of this boundary edge extends along a preferential direction, and this boundary edge has a multiplicity of regions lying on one side of its emphasis line and also a multiplicity of regions lying on the other side of its emphasis line.
Abstract:
A floor marking tape has a structure that retains the adhesive under the tape to prevent the adhesive from being squeezed out from under the tape when the tape is in use on a floor. In one embodiment, the structure is a shoulder that defines a recess that holds the bulk of the adhesive. The shoulder prevents the adhesive from flowing out to the outer edge of the tape. The tape may have beveled edges that limit the unintentional lifting and delamination of the tape from the floor. The upper surface of the tape may be curved from edge-to-edge to limit dirt retention on the tape as well as allowing objects to slide over the tape.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for permanently obturating holes, especially in metal sheets or plastic parts of automobile bodies. The inventive method is characterized by using a punched article which is at least partially provided on one side with an adhesive material and includes an especially textile support whose surface is greater than the surface of the hole to be obturated and which is especially provided with a non-expanded expandable body in the center of the adhesive side. The punched article is fixed on the hole together with the support in such a manner that the hole is completely covered by the punched article and the expandable body comes to rest inside the hole. The punched article and the expandable body are heated to such an extent that the expandable body expands, heat is supplied until the expanded expandable body completely fills and/or covers the hole, and the expanded expandable body cools off and cures.
Abstract:
A sealing material is presented which can be applied to surfaces and/or surfaces having seams, cracks, crevices and the like to hinder growth and colonization of bacteria while maintaining adhesion over a wide range of service, or use, conditions. The sealing material includes a fluoropolymer layer and a rubber based adhesive layer which is capable of adhering the sealing material to the surface or surfaces to be sealed. The invention combines the inherent anti-stick and hydrophobic properties of fluoropolymers with excellent adhesive characteristics of the rubber based adhesive.
Abstract:
Process for UV-initiated thermal crosslinking within a hotmelt process for the preparation of polyacrylate hotmelt adhesives, in which a polymer is produced from an acrylate-based comonomer mixture that includes monomers which carry at least one functional group capable of reacting with a photochemically generated base, with or without the addition of a catalyst, and then coating this polymer onto a backing, irradiating within the coating process or thereafter, and finally subjecting the polymer to thermal treatment, with crosslinking occurring between the polymer and the photochemically generated base. Structural crosslinking of the sheetlike pressure-sensitive adhesive can be produced if irradiation takes place through a mask.
Abstract:
Self-adhesive article for the transit protection of painted car components such as, in particular, bumpers, which are subject to high mechanical stress, having a woven as backing material which is provided on one side in particular with a polyethylene-vinyl acetate self-adhesive composition.
Abstract:
A hot-melt adhesive composition comprises a blend of at least one acidic polymer and at least one basic polymer. At least one of the polymers is a hot-melt adhesive. Thermally reversible crosslinks are formed between each of the two polymers. These crosslinks impart cohesive strength to the applied adhesive, without sacrificing ease of processing.
Abstract:
In a continuous two-stage process for preparing solvent-free polyacrylate hotmelt pressure sensitive adhesives which is gentle on the polymer and redeploys the solvent used in the process the following steps are carried out: polymerizing a self-adhesive pressure sensitive adhesive in solution, the solvent having a low vapor pressure; continuously mixing the polymer solution with antioxidants and preheating the mixture under superatmospheric pressure without boiling it; concentrating the polymer solution to a residual solvent content of less than 0.1% by weight in a concentrating extruder under the effect of reduced pressure and elevated temperatures; condensing, collecting, and re-using the solvent stripped off in the extruder; compounding the abovementioned solvent-freed hotmelt pressure sensitive adhesive with tackifying resins, fillers, stabilizers, crosslinkers or other additives in a second extruder at a moderate melt temperature; transferring the blended solvent-free self-adhesive pressure sensitive adhesive to a downstream coating unit.
