Abstract: A graphic assembly, such as a floor or road surface sign for vehicle traffic and/or pedestrian traveled areas, is provided. The graphic assembly can include a polymeric substrate layer fixed to a fabric layer that is positioned between the polymeric substrate layer and an adhesive layer. Further, the graphic assembly can comprise a top surface that includes a plurality of surface enhancement particles embedded within a particle receptive layer that is adjacent to the polymeric substrate layer. The plurality of surface enhancement particles include reflective particles and anti-skid particles.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an industrial marking tape. In one or more embodiments, the industrial tape can comprise a plastic substrate layer comprising a polycarbonate material, a polyethylene material, or a combination thereof. Additionally, the industrial tape can comprise a paint layer positioned adjacent to the plastic substrate layer. Further, the industrial tape can comprise an adhesive layer positioned adjacent to the plastic substrate layer or the paint layer.

Abstract: The invention describes both a method for bonding at least two elastomeric substrates together, wherein one of the substrates is a tire casing and another substrate is a tire tread, and an aqueous color changeable adhesive for effecting the bonding. The method includes the steps of buffing at least one surface of at least one of the substrates to an RMA 2 or RMA 3, applying the color changeable aqueous adhesive to the at least one surface, drying the adhesive for at least a period of time to permit an initial light grey color of the adhesive as applied to change to a flat black, and contacting the substrates under pressure to bond the substrates together. The color changeable aqueous adhesive includes at least a rubber latex emulsion, a tackifier, a pH adjustment agent, and a carbon black emulsion, wherein the carbon black functions both as a reinforcing agent and a visible color indicia means for evaluating the degree of dryness of the adhesive, which correlates to the degree of tack of the adhesive.
