Abstract: A release coating having improved stability under aging conditions of heat and humidity is described whose release force can be altered by varying the amount of multi-lobe emulsion polymers relative to release agent.

Abstract: A method for adhering a polyolefin roofing membrane to a roof. The method applies to the polyolefin roofing membrane an adhesive having two components. The first component is a polymer having at least 90 wt % polymerized residues of C1-C18 alkyl (meth)acrylates and C1-C18 dialkylmaleates and having a Tg no greater than ?15° C. The second component is a tackifier having an acid number no greater than 50.

Abstract: A method for preparing a pressure sensitive paper label is provided. The method is particularly useful on filled papers, especially papers filled with inorganic fillers containing multivalent cation. The pressure sensitive adhesive contains from 0.1 percent to 5 percent of a selected acid monomer, and 99.9 percent to 95 percent of at least one ethenically unsaturated monomer. Paper labels made by the method of this invention have superior age-resistance properties, and may be applied to a wide variety of substrates such as paper, metal, glass, wood, painted surfaces, corrugated board and plastic.
