Abstract: Adhesive compositions comprising one or more silicone/acrylate copolymers are described. Also described are various healthcare adhesive articles in sheet form which include a carrier sheet, a release coating applied to the carrier sheet, one or more regions of pressure sensitive adhesive adjacent the release coating, a flow control layer for promoting distribution of one or more adhesive debonding agents, and a substrate or facestock sheet removably disposed on the carrier sheet. The adhesive layer includes a pressure sensitive adhesive having a minority proportion of a silicone containing agent blended with one or more acrylic polymers. After application to a surface of interest, the adhesive strips can be easily removed by application of a debonding agent.

Abstract: Various systems, methods and materials are disclosed that enable efficient delivery of an agent into an adhesively adhered article, in which the agent elicits a desired outcome, on demand. This strategy, though general in scope, is also more specifically described with regard to enabling painless or atraumatic removal of products adhering to mammalian tissues such as skin and hair by suitably exploiting the ingress of an appropriate agent or like fluid. Other techniques and articles that aid in the handling or removal of such adhesive products are also disclosed.

Abstract: This invention relates to an aqueous film-forming mixture which does not contain a vinyl halide and which can be utilized to prepare conformable films which are useful in various applications such as adhesive tapes, labels and decorative sheets. The aqueous film-forming mixtures generally comprise, based on the weight of the solids in the aqueous mixture, (A) from about 50% to about 80% by weight of an acrylic-urethane copolymer which forms a film having an elongation at break of at least about 300%, and (B) from about 5% to about 25% by weight of an acrylic polymer or copolymer having a Tg of less than about 55° C., wherein the acrylic polymer or copolymer (B) is different from the acrylic-urethane copolymer (A). The aqueous mixtures also may contain up to about 40% by weight of a pigment.

Abstract: A method for securing a pavement marking construction to the pavement includes sealing the perimeter edge of the pavement marking construction by applying a structural adhesive around the perimeter edge of the pavement marking construction. The seal is applied so that it overlaps the top surface of the pavement marking construction at the perimeter edge and extends to the pavement surface. The sealed pavement marking construction will be more durable and will resist peeling from the pavement, even when subjected to heavy traffic.
