Abstract: Provided is a pressure sensitive adhesive article comprising (a) a substrate (Sa), (b) in contact with said substrate (Sa), a layer (Lb) of a tackifier-free composition (Cb) that comprises one or more acrylic polymer (POLb) having Tg of ?10° C. or lower, and (c) in contact with said layer (Lb), a layer (Lc) of a tackifier-containing composition (Cc) that comprises one or more tackifier and one or more hydrocarbon polymer (POLc) having Tg of ?10° C. Also provided is a bonded article made by a process comprising contacting a substrate (Sd) with such a pressure sensitive adhesive article, wherein said substrate (Sd) is in contact with said layer (Lc).

Abstract: A composition having three components. The first component is from 20 to 80 wt % of a styrene-diene block copolymer having from 10-30 wt % polymerized units of styrene, wherein the block copolymer is present as a dispersion of copolymer in water, and the dispersion contains less than 5 wt % organic solvent based on total dispersion weight. The second component is from 0.5 to 20 wt % of a plasticizer. The third component is from 20 to 80 wt % of a tackifier.

Abstract: This invention relates to a primerless removable or repositionable pressure sensitive tape or label comprises a porous substrate material, and a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) composition comprising (i) 10 to 90 wt. %, based on the combined weight of parts (i) and (ii), of one or more aqueous adhesive (co)polymer, and (ii) 90 to 10 wt. %, based on the combined weight of parts (i) and (ii), of one of more water-dispersed thermoplastic material, wherein the water-dispersed thermoplastic material is incompatible with the aqueous adhesive (co)polymer.

Abstract: A polyvinyl chloride(“PVC”) structure including from 5% to 40% by weight, based on the weight of PVC, DINCH (1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid di-isononyl ester) plasticizer coated with a certain crosslinked polymeric coating and, disposed on the crosslinked coating, a substantially uncrosslinked pressure sensitive adhesive and a method for forming the structure is provided.

Abstract: A release coating having improved stability under aging conditions of heat and humidity is described whose release force can be altered by varying the amount of multi-lobe emulsion polymers relative to release agent.

Abstract: A method for adhering a polyolefin roofing membrane to a roof. The method applies to the polyolefin roofing membrane an adhesive having two components. The first component is a polymer having at least 90 wt % polymerized residues of C1-C18 alkyl (meth)acrylates and C1-C18 dialkylmaleates and having a Tg no greater than ?15° C. The second component is a tackifier having an acid number no greater than 50.

Abstract: A low noise adhesive product and a process for making such is disclosed. This adhesive product is useful as packaging tape.
