  • Patent number: 8377508
    Abstract: A solventless laminating adhesive comprising a polyisocyanate component and a polyol component, both of which are free from polyol components exhibiting crystalline properties at ordinary temperatures. The adhesive exhibits an initial viscosity of 500 to 1000 mPa s three minutes after mixing of the polyisocyanate component with the polyol component and a viscosity increase of 100 to 350% based on the initial viscosity 20 minutes after the mixing. In a coater which is provided with a pair of opposed rolls and in which the rolls rotates in the directions contrary to each other at the opposition site, the adhesive is applied to a film passing between the rolls.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6627369
    Abstract: A carrier for an electrophotographic developer which has a flowability index F1, represented by formula (1), of 63 to 75 sec/(50·cm3) and a flowability index F2, represented by formula (2), of 30 to 100 Oe·g/cm3: F1=AD×FR  (1) F2=AD×Hc  (2) wherein AD is an apparent density (g/cm3); FR is a flow rate (sec/50 g); and Hc is a coercive force (Oe).
