Abstract: Disclosed are polyether and polyesters polyol condensations. The polyols are uniquely suited for ease of manufacture and improved adhesive characteristics particularly for low surface energy materials. The materials can be used in urethane adhesives.

Abstract: An article includes a substrate including a bonding surface area, a first adhesive disposed on the bonding surface area in a first discrete pattern, the first adhesive comprising a hot melt adhesive, and a second adhesive disposed on the bonding surface area in a second discrete pattern that is complementary to the first discrete pattern, wherein the first discrete pattern comprises about 1% to about 25% of the bonding surface area and the second discrete pattern comprises a balance of the bonding surface area.

Abstract: This document relates to adhesive application devices and methods for applying an adhesive on a shoe during manufacturing.

Abstract: A hot melt adhesive material and articles made using the hot melt adhesive to assemble structures in an article. The adhesive material typically is manufactured by blending amorphous polymer with a heterophase polymer having crystallinity into an adhesive composition.

Abstract: The reactive moisture cure hot melt adhesives of the invention have substantially improved assembly properties as a result of the unique combination of materials that provide excellent green strength. The adhesive includes at least an isocyanate compound, a polyether polyol, an aromatic tackifying composition, a thermoplastic polymer, and a block polymer having at least an A block and at least a B block, wherein the A block comprises a crystalline or semi-crystalline block and the B block comprises a rubbery or amorphous block. Such block polymers can have linear, branched, radial, or dendritic morphologies.
