Abstract: A retroreflective adhesive material has a retroreflective composition including retroreflective elements protruding from a first surface of a binder layer. A carrier web is secured to a second surface of the binder layer. The retroreflective adhesive material also includes a pressure sensitive adhesive layer. In certain preferred embodiments, a removable release liner covers the pressure sensitive adhesive. Retroreflective pattern elements are formed by the retroreflective composition, and the retroreflective material is clean-edge hand tearable. In certain embodiments, the carrier web is formed of fabric.

Abstract: A tape wrap system adapted for protecting metal tubular articles, particularly pipes, from corrosion comprising in order, a primer coating covering the surface of the article, an innerwrap over the primer coating and an outerwrap placed over the innerwrap, the innerwrap comprising a polyolefin layer carrying an adhesive layer on its inner surface and a layer comprising a heat fusible material on its outer surface, or a single layer comprising a blend of a polyolefin and a heat fusible moiety carrying an adhesive layer on its inner surface, the outerwrap comprising an impact-resistant polyolefin layer having a heat fusible layer on both surfaces or the inner surface thereof, or a single layer comprising a blend of an impact resistant polyolefin and a heat fusible material; the tape wrap system fusing the innerwrap and outerwrap together when heated and thereafter cooled to form a uniform, continuous and completely closed protective coating which fully protects the article against corrosion and other external d

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.
