Abstract: Disclosed is an insulating glass assembly that limits the presence and transmission of volatile components into the airspace of an insulating glass assembly and includes a polymeric spacing structure including a first side wall, a second side wall, and a third wall at least substantially perpendicular to the first side wall and the second side wall, a first pane of glass bonded to the first side wall through a sealant composition, a second pane of glass bonded to the second side wall through a sealant composition, and a desiccant matrix composition disposed on the spacing structure, the desiccant matrix composition including adsorbent and polymer.

Abstract: Sealant composition comprising at least one of a) a moisture curable, radiation curable polyurethane prepolymer or b) a blend comprising a moisture curable polyurethane prepolymer and a radiation curable prepolymer. Also disclosed are insulating glass assemblies that use such dual-cure sealant compositions.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a radiation curable adhesive composition comprising at least one vinyl modified block copolymer having a first polyvinyl aromatic block and a second polydiene block having vinyl functionality, and at least one tackifier. Optionally, the composition may comprises at least one second block copolymer that has not been vinyl modified, at least one platicizer, and at least one wax. The invention is also directed to a double-faced label formed from the composition and the method of producing said label.

Abstract: The present invention relates to radiation curable compositions comprising at least one metallocene polyolefin. The radiation curable compositions are useful for a variety of applications, particularly as coatings and adhesives. The radiation curable composition may comprise a single metallocene polyolefin, or blend thereof. The ultraviolet curable compositions further comprise at least one photoinitiator and/or at least one photoinduced coupling agent. For pressure sensitive adhesive applications, the radiation curable composition also preferably comprises other ingredients such as a tackifying resins and plasticizers.

Abstract: The present invention discloses radiation curable pressure-sensitive adhesives comprising the reaction product of a blend of at least two hydroxy polyesters having different Tgs, and at least one prepolymer functionalized with (Meth) acrylates, isocyanates and mixtures thereof. The present invention further discloses a blend of at least two hydroxy polyesters wherein at least one of the hydroxy polyesters has a Tg of less than -35.degree. C., and at least one of the other hydroxy polyesters has a Tg of greater than about -35.degree. C.
