Abstract: A Waterborne adhesive comprising 1 to 50 weight-% of a (meth)acrylate copolymer manufactured by polymerization of at least one ester of methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, crotonic acid and/or itaconic acid with aliphatic alcohols, substituted aliphatic alcohols, aromatic alcohols, polyether glycols, and other copolymerizable monomers, having an acid number from 0 to 150 mgKOH/g, 0 to 40 wt-% of natural polymers 0.5 to 30 wt-% of urea, 0.1 to 20 wt-% of additives, characterized in that the adhesive contains 0.05 to 20 weight-% of a super absorbent polymer.

Abstract: The invention provides an adhesive with an aqueous polymer dispersion. The aqueous polymer dispersion comprises a copolymer of a) esters of vinyl alcohol with C2 to C6 monocarboxylic acids, b) ?,?-unsaturated C3 to C9 carboxylic acids or vinyl-substituted phosphonic or sulfonic acids, c) polyunsaturated monomers, and optionally d) non-polar, copolymerizable monomers and e) copolymerizable monomers that carry polar functional groups, where the ratio of c:b ranges from 1:10 to 1:400. The adhesive has high adhesion strength, stable viscosity during high-speed automatic application process and, is optionally, remoistenable with water or becomes water-soluble. The adhesive may be advantageous used as wood adhesive, remoistenable adhesive, label adhesive, bottle adhesive, and the like.

Abstract: The invention is an adhesive system for applying wrap around labels to containers. The system comprises a hotmelt pick-up adhesive which is active at the temperature which the label is applied and loses its bonding ability after the adhesive sets and an overlap adhesive for bonding the label overlap. At its application temperature, the pick-up adhesive has significantly higher adhesiveness, measured at its application temperature than at its conventional storage temperature. In addition, the adhesive preferably has a greater affinity for the label than for the container bearing the label. Consequently, the label can be easily removed from the hollow body without leaving residues of adhesive. If, nevertheless, a residual adhesive should remain on the hollow body, it can be dissolved by an alkaline solution.

Abstract: A composition useful as an antislip for articles with plastic surfaces is provided. Said composition typically comprises from 35 to 45% by weight of a rosin or derivative thereof, preferably a water-soluble, saponified rosin, from 5 to 10% by weight of an alcohol, preferably selected from the group consisting of ethane-1,2-diol, propane-1,2-diol and propane-1,2,3-triol, from 5 to 10% by weight of a liquefying agent, preferably selected from the group consisting of alkali metal alkyl benzenesulfonates containing up to 8 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain and alkaline earth metal alkyl benzenesulfonate containing up to 8 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, optionally from 15 to 25% by weight of a propellant, e.g. dimethyl ether, optionally from 0.5 to 5% by weight of a water-soluble polymer selected from the group consisting of one or more of the following substances: starch, starch derivatives, dextrin, polyurethane, and cellulose ethers, and the balance water.

Abstract: A process for producing an anti-slip article by preparing an aqueous dispersion containing a copolymer of styrene and a diene in a ratio by weight of from 20:80 to 80:20, and applying the aqueous dispersion onto a non-water-absorbing article.
