Abstract: A composition comprising a hot melt adhesive; and a coating for the adhesive comprising cellulose acetate butyrate, wherein the cellulose acetate butyrate is coated on the hot melt adhesive, and a method to prevent blocking of hot melt adhesives comprising coating cellulose acetate butyrate on at least a portion of the surface of a hot melt adhesive.

Abstract: A yellow, hot melt alkyd traffic marking composition is described. The yellow, hot melt alkyd traffic marking composition contains 10-25 percent by weight of a hot melt alkyd binder, 5-10 percent by weight of a thermally stable 1,5- or 1,8-substituted anthraquinone colorant selected from a 1,5- or 1,8-substituted anthraquinone aromatic thioether and a 1,5- or 1,8-substituted anthraquinone aromatic thioether polyester, and 65-85 weight percent of a filler. The yellow, hot melt alkyd traffic marking composition of the invention may also contain other components used in traffic marking compositions, such as a reflectivity aid, a plasticizer, or an impact modifier. Other optional components are discussed below. The yellow, hot melt alkyd traffic marking compositions may be applied to any paved surface.

Abstract: A pressure-sensitive adhesive meeting Underwriter Laboratories, Inc. 181A requirements and specifications for foil tapes for use with rapid fiberglass air ducts consisting essentially of:(1) 100 phr of a block copolymer consisting of from 75 to about 100 parts be weight of a styrene-isoprene-styrene triblock copolymer and from 0-25 parts by weight of a member selected from the group consisting of a styrene-isoprene diblock copolymer, a styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer and a mixture of styrene-isoprene diblock copolymer and styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer;(2) from about 60 to about 110 phr of rubber phase associating resin;(3) from about 5 to about 30 phr of a polyestyrene phase associating resin;(4) an effective amount of flame retardant;(5) an effective amount of antioxidant for the rubbery isoprene moiety; and(6) a crosslinking system for crosslinking the isoprene moiety;and foil tapes including same.

Abstract: Novel storage coating for metal objects such as pipes comprising: a di- and/or triblock copolymer thermoplastic rubber consisting of polystyrene blocks and rubbery polymer blocks; a saturated hydrocarbon tackifying resin; and a hydrocarbon solvent. Preferably, the coating also contains an ultraviolet light absorber.
