Abstract: To obtain an adhesive having both a high initial adhesive capacity and high heat resistance, a fusible adhesive which can be cross-linked by radiation and a low tendency to creep is provided. The adhesive contains 0 to 40 weight percent of at least one elastomer which cannot be cross-linked by radiation, 15 to 40 weight percent of at least one compound containing at least two olefinic double bonds, and 20 to 85 weight percent of at least one tackifier. The adhesive is especially suitable for use on high speed labeling machines.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition, comprising at least water, a porous particulate polymer, or a mixture of two or more such polymers and at least one water-soluble or water-dispersible hydrophilic compound with a molecular weight of less than 1000, or a mixture of two or more thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to fragrance- or odorant-laden polymer capsules and processes for producing the same.

Abstract: An adhesive useful in forming composites includes components A and B. Component A includes at least one polyester with a molecular weight (Mn) of at least 8000 and has a total enthalpy of fusion of at most 20 mJ/mg. Component B includes at least one polyester with a molecular weight (Mn) of less than 8000 and a glass transition temperature of at most 60° C. The adhesive preferably has a melt viscosity of 500 to 25,000 mPas (Brookfield RVT DVII, 140° C., spindle 27) and a softening point of 70 to 100° C. (ASTM E28).

Abstract: Adhesive systems are useful for bonding wrap-around labels using an overlap adhesive in their application to blown plastic containers, more particularly plastic bottles. The adhesive system includes reactive contact adhesives based on multifunctional macromonomer compounds curable in steps by different reaction mechanisms, which may also be present mixed with one-stage reactive mixture components.

Abstract: The invention relates to a reactive batch of thermoplastic polymer particles on the basis of poly-&agr;-olefins, elastomeric block copolymers and/or polyisobutylenes. Said batch is useful for producing insulating glass units consisting of two or several glass panes, casting resin panes, solar collectors or facade elements for edifices. The reactive batch contains a portion of batch particles which contain polymers with reactive groups selected from hydroxyl groups, amino groups, carboxyl groups, carboxylic acid anhydride groups. mercapto groups, hydrosilicon groups and/or hydrosilyl groups. Another portion of the batch particles contains polymers with reactive groups that are complementary thereto and are selected from isocyanate groups, epoxide groups, active olefinically unsaturated double bonds and/or water-producing substances. Said batch of reactive particles is homogenised only directly before the last use and, immediately afterwards, is applied to the substrate surfaces to be connected.

Abstract: The invention relates to an adhesive containing two components A and B, whereby component A comprises both a functional group which can be polymerized by means of irradiation with UV beams as well as at least one functional group which is able to react with a compound having at least one acidic hydrogen atom and component B comprises at least two functional groups which can be polymerized by means of irradiation with UV beams or with electron beams. The adhesive is suitable for the production of composite materials and exhibits a high flexibility with a good initial bonding.

Abstract: An adhesive useful in making composites includes two components A and B. Component A includes at least one polymer having a molecular weight (Mn) of at least 800 that has at least one functional group polymerizable by irradiation with UV light or with electron beams and has at least one functional group capable of reacting with a compound having at least one acidic hydrogen atom. Component B includes at least one compound having a molecular weight (Mn) of from about 100 to about 8000 which has at least two functional groups polymerizable by irradiation with UV light or with electron beams.

Abstract: The proposed process for bonding together two substrates with an anhydrous or low-water-content partially crystalline adhesive which is solid at room temperature is characterized in that the adhesive is first activated by internal and/or external friction. The substrates are then joined together with the adhesive between them. When allowed to stand, the structure attains its final strength after a period of between a few seconds to a few days. The friction destroys the crystalline structure and causes the adhesive to become gluey, and re-crystallization gives it its final strength and eliminates the gluey quality. The adhesive is based preferably on polyester or polyurethane and used preferably in the form of a gum stick without impermeable packaging. It is especially suitable for bonding paper, since it does not cause corrugation.
