Abstract: A process for preparing titanium carbide using a pigment formulation having at least one titanium compound and a carbon compound and/or elemental carbon, the pigment formulation reacting under laser irradiation to form TiC.

Abstract: Pigment layer intended particularly for the permanent marking of glass, based on a polymer matrix which reacts predominantly with pulverization to a high-energy beam, more particularly to laser irradiation, comprising at least one titanium donor and a carbon donor which provides free carbon under energy irradiation.

Abstract: Hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesive based one or more non-thermoplastic elastomers, at least comprising 100 parts by mass of the non-thermoplastic elastomer(s), from 1 to 200 parts by mass of one or more tackifying resins, and also one or more polyfunctional isocyanates which are free from blocking agent, the hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesive comprising from 8 mmol to 5 mol of the reactive isocyanate groups of the isocyanate per kilogram of the non-thermoplastic elastomer(s) used.

Abstract: Hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesive based one or more non-thermoplastic elastomers, at least comprising 100 parts by mass of the non-thermoplastic elastomer(s), from 1 to 200 parts by mass of one or more tackifying resins, from 1 to 100 parts by mass of one or more reactive phenolic resins whose methylol content is from 1 to 20% by weight, based on the reactive phenolic resin, from 1 to 100 parts by mass of accelerator substances.

Abstract: Process for the continuous solvent-free and mastication-free production of self-adhesive compositions based on non-thermoplastic elastomers in a continuously operating apparatus having a filling section and a compounding section, comprising a) feeding the solid components of the self-adhesive composition, such as elastomers and resins, into the filling section of the apparatus, optionally feeding of fillers, colorants and/or crosslinkers, b) transferring the solid components of the self-adhesive composition from the filling section to the compounding section, c) adding the liquid components of the self-adhesive composition, such as plasticizers, crosslinkers and/or further tackifier resins to the compounding section, d) preparing a homogeneous self-adhesive composition in the compounding section, and e) discharging the self-adhesive composition.

Abstract: Process for preparing a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, characterized in that tackifiers in dispersed, melted or solid form are mixed with natural rubber latex, the water content being not more than 45% by weight.

Abstract: Process for producing an anticounterfeit label having a holographic image, and labels produced according to the process.

Abstract: Process for producing an elastomer substrate web, comprising the following process steps: a) feeding in a polymer mixture, in particular into a mixer, b) conveying the ready-prepared polymer mixture to a calender, comprising at least two rollers, c) forming the polymer mixture out in the calender into a web, d) applying an auxiliary substrate in web form by means of a pressure-exerting roller, which is in contact with the last forming calender roller, for receiving the web, and e) if appropriate, cooling, crosslinking and/or winding up the web located on the auxiliary substrate.
