Abstract: A pressure sensitive adhesive label for a hard disk drive includes a substrate, an information indicator formed on one side of the substrate, and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer formed on the other side of the substrate. By applying onto the outer surface of a housing of a hard disk drive, the pressure sensitive adhesive label can reduce noise caused by operation of the hard disk drive.

Abstract: A pressure-sensitive adhesive composition with a pressure-sensitive adhesive property and heat resistance comprises a polyester having a polylactone structure as the main chain. A pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet with a releasing property of a peelable liner and containing no silicone can be obtained by using the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition in combination with a polyolefin film without being subjected to a silicone treatment as a peelable liner. When the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet comprises a base material having formed thereon the layer of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition and the back side of the base material has a surface composed of a polyolefin, neither a peelable liner nor a silicone treatment is required. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is suitably used for computer instruments etc., because it contains no silicone.

Abstract: A photopolymerized acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive having excellent heat-resistance, an adhesive sheet using the adhesive, and methods for producing the adhesive and the adhesive sheet, are disclosed. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet having excellent heat resistance comprising a photopolymerization product of a composition comprising;a) 100 parts by weight of monomers comprising from 70 to 100% by weight of a (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester having from 2 to 14 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety, and from 30 to 0% by weight of a monoethylenically unsaturated monomer copolymerizable with the (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester,b) from 0.02 to 20 parts by weight of a radical chain inhibitor,c) up to 5 parts by weight of a polyfunctional (meth)acrylate as a crosslinking agent, andd) from 0.01 to 5 parts by weight of a photopolymerization initiator.

Abstract: A lead-free frit glaze consisting of, by mole %, 61% or greater SiO.sub.2, 8-10% Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, 0.1-3% CaO, 0.1-2% MgO, 2-5% Li.sub.2 O, 1-4% K.sub.2 O, 2-6% Na.sub.2 O, and 10-15% B.sub.2 O.sub.3.

Abstract: This invention concerns treatment of the heat-fusible materials by use of a fusing agent, according to which a fusing agent capable of producing red hot "embers" by combustion is applied to the surface of a worked object such as a sign formed from a heat-fusible material and worked at a construction site or to the area to be newly worked, and then said fusing agent is ignited and burned so that the combustion heat of the resultantly produced "embers" is directly conducted to the material to be worked to thereby remove the fused material from the worked area or fuse and affix the material to the working area.
