Abstract: A two component removable adhesive hanger is disclosed which has a hook support component with a bifurcated end folded to form a pair of hook support legs and adhesively secured to a backing sheet component, the backing sheet component having adhesive means thereon to secure the hanger assembly to the wall, or similar surface. A hook member is supported by the hook support legs to enable the hanging of an article thereon. The backing sheet component extends downwardly beyond the hook support legs so as to provide an increased adhesive area and to prevent the hook from bearing directly against the surface to which the hanger is attached. The hanger is removable by manually separating the hook support component from the backing sheet component and subsequently dissolving the backing sheet by the application of water. Both the hook support component and the backing sheet component may be made from water dissolvable paper or the hook support component may be made from metal, plastic or like material.
Abstract: Transparent-reflective metallized solar control compositions and films for application to window glass to reduce heat, glare, etc., of solar radiation.
Abstract: A seam and method for forming such seam to join pieces of synthetic turf material together are disclosed. In the disclosed method, edges of synthetic turf material, having a polymeric backing thereon, are abutted together and the abutted edges are positioned over a reinforcing tape material. The reinforcing tape material is a fabric strip that is coated with a polymeric material that is substantially the same as the polymeric material forming the backing of the synthetic turf. A volatile solvent material, capable of dissolving the polymeric material forming the backing of the synthetic turf, and the coating on the reinforcing tape is thereafter applied to at least a portion of the abutted edges and the adjacent surface of the reinforcing tape. Pressure is applied to urge the abutted edges into contact with the surface of the reinforcing tape and the volatile solvent is allowed to evaporate, thereby forming the seam, having improved structural properties.
Abstract: 2-Methyl-2-alkyl-alkanoic acid esters of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is a saturated or unsaturated, straight- or branched-chain aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are independently an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, which compounds have a wide variety of pleasing and persistent fragrances, and perfume compositions containing them.

Abstract: A composition comprising water, finely particulate gypsum and starch is coated on a paper cover sheet in a selective pattern such that the starch composition is disposed only at limited areas of the bond liner surface, and wherein substantial areas of the bond liner surface are free of the coating; the coated paper, either in the wet stage or after drying being used as paper cover sheets to form gypsum wallboard by applying an aqueous slurry of calcined gypsum, which may be free of starch, to the coated surface and setting the gypsum, resulting in a gypsum wallboard having excellent adhesion between the paper cover sheets and the gypsum core.
Abstract: A flat, water-remoistenable, adhesive-coated paper having superior resistance to curling ordinarily accompanying changes in atmospheric humidity. A powdered adhesive is mixed with a solution of triethanolamine plasticizer in toluene and methanol to form a dispersion in which outer surface portions of the adhesive particles are plasticized. When the dispersion is applied to paper and solvent evaporated, the resulting coating comprises a multiplicity of sintered adhesive particles having plasticized outer surface portions joined to one another and to the paper.
Abstract: A decorative sheet material having a decorative surface and a working surface, the working surface being provided with a coating of a water-activatable adhesive, in which the improvement is disposing a coating of a dry powdered deliquescent material on the adhesive coating.
Abstract: An inexpensive, easy-to-produce, adhesive-coated polyolefin ribbon or the like is provided which has desirable remoistenability and excellent peel strength characteristics, notwithstanding elimination of the need of physically treating the polyolefin substrate prior to adhesive coating by methods such as chemical etching or other means of surface abrading. A primer layer is applied and bonded directly to the polyolefin ribbon without any preliminary treatment thereof, and a remoistenable adhesive layer containing polyvinyl alcohol is applied over the primer layer and bonded thereto to complete the ribbon. In preferred forms, the primer layer includes respective quantities of ethylene vinyl acetate and chlorinated polyolefin material, and this has been shown to synergistically bond to both the substrate and polyvinyl alcohol remoistenable adhesive applied thereover.
Abstract: A joint tape for use in building construction utilizing dry wall panels which includes a tape body of water absorbent paper, sized and shaped for smooth joints between dry wall building panels, and a layer of water-activable polyvinyl acetate-based adhesive on one side of the tape for wetting and then adhering the tape to the surface of adjoining dry wall sheets covering the joint therebetween.
Abstract: A novel reflective light-polarizing lamination comprising a light polarizer laminated to the matte surface of aluminum foil and useful in display cells for field-effect transition liquid crystal displays.
Abstract: Improved non-flammable, rewettable pipe lagging material is formed from woven glass fabric which has been impregnated and coated with an adhesive formulation composed of Western Bentonite clay, kaolin, sodium hexametaphosphate, and water. The woven glass fabric is initially heat treated so as to thermally desize the fabric and remove initial oil and starch sizing present on the glass yarn from which fabric is made. The fabric is then contacted with the adhesive formulation and dried to form a rewettable cloth material which is white in color having a smooth surface.
Abstract: A temporary interlining composing a fabric base material and a continuous layer of a foamed adhesive provided on at least one of the surfaces thereof, which is prepared by coating said fabric base material uniformly and continuously with a foamed creamy aqueous solution of an adhesive and drying said solution, said foamed creamy aqueous solution having a viscosity of about 10,000 to about 200,000 c.p.s. at 50.degree. C. and the adhesive being soluble in water and becoming sticky on moistening. Said interlining, when heat and pressure are applied while and after being moistened, adheres to a dress material on the surface of said interlining; however, the adhesive can be washed off in a single washing operation.
Abstract: Solar control film having a water-activatable adhesive system comprising a normally tacky and pressure-sensitive adhesive coating which is covered by a thin tack-free continuous water-soluble layer. The product, which does not require a liner, can be moistened and installed on a windowpane, the water-soluble layer providing lubrication during positioning and the pressure-sensitive adhesive providing the primary bonding to the glass.
