Abstract: A hot melt process for producing a release coating. The process involves first forming a mixture of a release agent and a thermoplastic polymer in the absence of a solvent. The release agent is not completely compatible with the thermoplastic polymer. The mixture has a softening temperature ranging from about 120.degree. to about 350.degree. F. The mixture is heated to a temperature at or above its softening temperature and then coated onto at least a portion of a substrate. The coated substrate is cooled for a time and at a temperature sufficient to cause the mixture to solidify.

Abstract: An adhesive composition, useful for making a repositionable sheet, which is made up of a mixture of: (a) a polymer prepared by aqueous suspension polymerization of at least one monomer selected from an acrylate, a methacrylate and acrylic acid, the polymer having a geometric mean particle size ranging from about 30 to about 100 microns; and (b) a polymer prepared by aqueous suspension polymerization of at least one monomer selected from an acrylate, a methacrylate and acrylic acid, the polymer having a geometric mean particle size ranging from about 4.1 microns up to about 30 microns.
