Abstract: A pressure sensitive adhesive composition comprising the solids deposited from a mixture of solvents, synthetic rubber and tackifiers and also including a polysiloxane additive in about 6 to 10 percent of the resultant composition, which composition has reduced edge ooze or flow when on sheets subjected to a cutting action.

Abstract: An inorganic pigment exhibiting improved gloss and distribution in lacquer binders, carrying a coating comprising a polyhydrogen siloxane and an alkanolamine. Advantageously the alkanolamine comprises at least one of triethanolamine, triisopropanolamine, diethanolamine, diisopropanolamine and 2-amino-2-methyl-propanol-1, the polyhydrogen siloxane is a polymethylhydrogen siloxane having more than 5 Si atoms, and the pigment comprises TiO.sub.2 or a titanate carrying an inorganic coating, the polyhydrogen siloxane plus alkanolamine ranging from about 0.3 to 1% by weight of the pigment and the ratio by weight of the polyhydrogen siloxane to alkanolamine ranging from about 1:2 to 1:5.

Abstract: An inorganic pigment exhibiting improved gloss and distribution in lacquer binders, carrying a coating comprising a SiOH-containing organosilicon compound and an alkanolamine. Advantageously the alkanolamine comprises at least one of triethanolamine, triisopropanolamine, diethanolamine, diisopropanolamine and 2-amino-2-methyl-propanol-1, the organosilicon compound is of the formula ##STR1## wherein n>3, R and R.sup.1 each independently is alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, alkenyl or a group of the formula ##STR2## wherein m>1, the organosilicon compound having an OH:Si ratio within the range of about 1:1 to 1:20, and the pigment comprises TiO.sub.2 or a titanate carrying an inorganic coating, the organosilicon compound plus alkanolamine ranging from about 0.3 to 1% by weight of the organosilicon compound to alkanolamine ranging from about 1:2 to 1:5.
