Abstract: A hot melt adhesive composition can be used to laminate substrates together in construction industry and industrial maintenance and assembly applications. The hot melt adhesive composition is sprayable to form a thin layer (1 to 200 microns in thickness) on a substrate. The hot melt adhesive can cure by exposure to moisture or harden by cooling, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A solution of resinous organosilicon polymer dissolved in an inert solvent is moved downstream as a film through a heated, film-forming zone having an inert atmosphere and a temperature above the polymer's melting point. The solvent is vaporized from the film and withdrawn from the film-forming zone. Molten resinous organosilicon polymer in the solvent-depleted film is withdrawn from the zone. The molten polymer is then directly melt spun into filaments which are gathered into a fiber. Various processing parameters are controlled.
