    Abstract: Adhesives compositions having improved cutting properties described herein. Compositions comprise a normally tacky, pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive containing, as an additive to reduce edge flow, from about 2 to about 10 percent by weight dry basis, preferably from about 5 to about 8 percent by weight dry basis based on the weight of polymer solids, of a polydimethylsiloxane having a number average molecular weight of about 1300 to about 15000. Also disclosed are laminates comprising a facing layer coated on one side with the aforedescribed adhesive composition, and optionally a release liner. These adhesive laminates exhibit substantially reduced tendency of the adhesive to ooze at the edge when cut, without material decrease in other adhesive properties, when a multiplicity of laminate sheets is stacked and cut by means of a guillotine. Laminates herein are especially useful as drum and carton labels.

  • Patent number: 5145932
    Abstract: A curable organopolysiloxane composition comprising an organopolysiloxane having higher alkenyl groups, an organohydrogenpolysiloxane crosslinker, and organopolysiloxane free of alkenyl groups and silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms, a platinum group metal-containing catalyst and an inhibitor therefor provides for the formation of a cured release film. When this composition is coated on the surface of any of various types of substrates, for example, paper, synthetic resin films, fibers, etc., and then heated for 10 to 20 seconds at 80 to 90 degrees Centigrade, it forms a cured film which manifests an extremely good release performance for tacky substances, such as, for example, pressure-sensitive adhesives, and the like, while at the same time evidencing an excellent adherence to the substrate itself. The compositions can be used with synthetic resin films, such as polyolefin, which are easily deformed by heat and with poorly heat-tolerant paper.

  • Patent number: 4977308
    Abstract: A heat roller type fixing device having a fixing roller and a pressing roller and applicable to an electrophotographic copier or like image forming apparatus, and a method of producing the same. The pressing roller is produced such that the content of 3- to 15-mer, preferably 3- to 10-mer, low-molecular weight siloxanes (oligomers) which are contained in the roller is less than 300 parts per million. While the fixing device is in operation, chargers built in the image forming apparatus are prevented from being whitened by pologomers which are evaporated from the pressing roller.

  • Patent number: 4956404
    Abstract: A composition comprising a polyvinyl acetate homopolymer emulsion, glyceryl triacetate, silicon, epoxidized oil, talc, fumed silica and dextrin exhibiting remarkable molding, coloring and printing properties for used as novelty items, activity toys and molding compounds. This composition is also for use as an artist's tool, transfer and printing medium, as an exercising device and for art therapy. The molded object, after exposure to air, becomes dry and will remain flexible and permanent, including fine detail and brilliant colors. The composition may contain suitable food dyes, which allows the color to be transferred from the compound to paper, canvas, fabric and wall. The color print dries instantly. Luster and pearlescent pigments brushed on the surface of the molded objects gives the appearance of cast precious metal.
