  • Publication number: 20240343944
    Abstract: Curable precursor compositions for adhesives (e.g., pressure sensitive adhesives) and related articles, assemblies, and methods. The provided compositions contain a mixture comprising 50 to 100 parts by weight of a first polymerizable component, 0 to 50 parts by weight of a second polymerizable component, a transition metal complex soluble in the mixture, and an effective amount of a polymerization initiator, thereby allowing for the formation of high molecular weight polymer with essentially no gel content that can be easily processed via established hot melt techniques (i.e., a hot melt processable adhesive), even in the absence of chain transfer agents or crosslinking agents.

  • Publication number: 20190194500
    Abstract: Ionizing radiation crosslinkable pressure sensitive adhesive precursors containing hydrocarbon tackifiers and having an acid content of no more than 3% by weight. The precursors can be exposed to a source of ionizing radiation, for example, one or both of an electron beam or gamma radiation, for an exposure time sufficient to receive an energy dose sufficient to at least partially crosslink the adhesive precursor, thereby forming a pressure sensitive adhesive. Methods of using ionizing radiation to crosslink a crosslinkable pressure sensitive adhesive precursor are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9737900
    Abstract: An in-situ applicator for applying a composition in a pipe comprises a flow diverter configured to receive a composition and eject the composition from at least one outlet. The applicator also comprises a hollow conical body having a narrow end, a broad end, and an interior surface configured to receive the composition ejected from the flow diverter. The conical body also has a plurality of holes forming a band that wraps circumferentially around the conical body which defines a flow region on the interior surface between the band and the narrow end. The band includes first holes adjacent to the flow region where each of the first holes has a first average diameter and second holes disposed between the first holes and the broad end, each of the second holes having an average diameter greater than the first diameter.
