  • Publication number: 20060188710
    Abstract: The inventive pad has a plurality of sheets stacked on top of one another. Each sheet having opposing, writeable first and second surfaces, opposing upper and lower edges, and opposing first and second side edges. A securing mechanism is disposed on the second surface and proximate to the upper edge of the sheet. The securing mechanism includes (a) first and second raised elements and (b) a pressure sensitive adhesive. Each element has an application surface and is aligned generally parallel to and spaced apart from one another. The adhesive has an exposed surface and is disposed between the first and second raised element. The height of the adhesive, as measured from its exposed surface to the second surface is shorter than the height of either raised element, as measure from its application surface to the second surface. The sheets are attached together forming the pad.

  • Publication number: 20060177652
    Abstract: A foamed pressure sensitive adhesive article is disclosed. The article includes a polymeric mixture containing a styrenic block copolymer and a polyarylene oxide polymer. Voids are formed in the polymeric mixture by expanding polymeric microspheres. The resulting foamed article contains numerous voids having substantially non-adhesive interiors that are compressible without collapsing. The invention is also directed to methods of making foamed pressure sensitive adhesive articles.

  • Patent number: 6083856
    Abstract: The present invention provides fibers and products produced therefrom, including nonwoven webs and adhesive articles. The fibers, which can be multilayer fibers, include a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition comprising an acrylate copolymer comprising copolymerized monomers comprising at least one monofunctional alkyl (meth)acrylate monomer and at least one monofunctional free-radically copolymerizable reinforcing monomer having a homopolymer glass transition temperature higher than that of the alkyl (meth)acrylate monomer.
