  • Patent number: 8795418
    Abstract: The present invention provides an adsorptive member which is used in a heat exchanger such as an adsorptive heat pump or a humidity control apparatus such as a desiccant system and which is excellent in heat resistance and adhesion between adsorptive particles and a base material. The adsorptive member comprising a base material and an adsorptive material layer formed on the base material, wherein the adsorptive material layer comprises adsorptive particles and a binder as essential components, and the binder is an epoxy cured product comprising the following structural units (a) and (b): (a): a bisphenol type structural unit; and (b): a linear hydrocarbon structural unit having 4 or more carbon atoms, and/or a polyalkylene ether structural unit having 3 or more ether oxygen atoms.

  • Publication number: 20110082246
    Abstract: A pressure-sensitive adhesive containing a near infrared absorbing dye having excellent shielding function for near infrared rays and excellent in durability is provided. In a light resistance test, a layer of the pressure-sensitive adhesive having a thickness of 25±5 ?m has an absorption intensity at the maximum absorption wavelength of the near infrared absorbing dye after a light resistance test of 50% or more of the absorption intensity before the test in which light with an irradiance of 64.5 W/m2 at a wavelength of 300 to 400 nm is irradiated on the layer for 160 hours.
