Abstract: The invention concerns a crosslinkable composition of functionalized polyolefin powder comprising a functionalized polyolefin (A) having an MFI of at least 20 (190° C. 2.16 kg), a product (B) having a function for crosslinking (A), the composition having a grain size distribution between 100 and 400 &mgr;m. Said composition is useful for slush moulding, for thermoforming sheets or injection on an insert.

Abstract: A hot-melt adhesive based on a copolymer of ethylene and of an alkyl (meth)acrylate.

Abstract: A thermosetting composition consists essentially of a mixture of (A) a polymer containing acid anhydride groups, (B) a molecular sieve being partially loaded with at least one amine, and (C) a filler capable of releasing water upon heating at a temperature above the processing temperature of the mixture of (A), (B) and (C). The processing temperature is chosen so as to be below the desorption temperature of the amine from the molecular sieve. The composition is particularly useful in making hot melt adhesives and sheetings of electric cables.

Abstract: The invention concerns a heat sealing composition including an adhesive framework and a framework forming constituent, the adhesive constituent being a maleic vinyl-anhydride ethylene-acetate polymer or a vinyl ethylene-acetate polymer modified to have epoxy functions and the framework forming constituent being selected from among a block polyether amide, modified or not, and a block polyether ester. The composition is useful for making closure plugs.

Abstract: The invention relates to thermoplastic master batches having at least one copolymer (A) of ethylene and of at least one unsaturated carboxylic acid ester as support and comprising vulcanization agents for rubbers. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of master batches containing vulcanization agents and having a thermoplastic ethylene copolymer as support, this process consisting in using an extruder.

Abstract: The present invention relates to crosslinkable hot-melt adhesive compositions in the form of prepolymer containing free isocyanate functional groups; the said prepolymer results from the reaction of a polyisocyanate and of a copolymer (A) of ethylene and of at least one unsaturated carboxylic acid ester and containing hydroxyl functional groups. These adhesives are crosslinked by the ambient moisture.

Abstract: The invention relates to hot-melt adhesive (HMA) compositions which are provided in the form of a polymer containing free isocyanate functional groups, the said polymer resulting from the reaction of a polyisocyanate (A), of a polydienopolyol (B) and of a copolymer (C) of ethylene containing hydroxyl functional groups. They have a low viscosity and can thus be employed from 110° C. They can be crosslinked with atmospheric moisture.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pressure-sensitive adhesive comprising:a mixture of a block copolymer (A) comprising polystyrene blocks and polybutadiene or polyisoprene blocks which are optionally hydrogenated and of a copolymer (B) of ethylene and of an alkyl (meth)acrylate,at least one tackifying resin and optionally a plasticizer,this adhesive being deposited while hot on a substrate.These products are useful for self-adhesive labels and tapes.

Abstract: The invention is a thermofusible adhesive composition comprising:a at least one essentially amorphous poly(alpha-olefin),b at least one copolymer of ethylene and an alkyl (meth)acrylate, the cloud point being below 170.degree. C.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition based on ethylene copolymers for manufacturing floor coverings and comprising: a) a copolymer having at least one epoxide functional group, b) a copolymer of ethylene and of at least one unsaturated monomer having functional groups which are reactive with the epoxide functional group of a), c) fillers, and optionally d) ethylene-vinyl acetate or ethylene-alkyl (meth)acrylate copolymers. The floor coverings obtained have an abrasion according to DIN 53516 of less than 300 mm.sup.3, a resistance to scratching which is greater than 150 g, and an oxygen index which is greater than 30.
