  • Patent number: 6312777
    Abstract: A method for making an improved pressure sensitive adhesive coated laminate is disclosed. The method involves coating a sheet having a release surface thereon with a pressure sensitive adhesive to form a laminate, drying or curing the pressure sensitive adhesive and marrying the laminate to the inner surface of a facing layer. A material comprising a mixture of substantially water-insoluble and adhesive incompatible polysiloxane (i) and water soluble and adhesive compatible polysiloxane (ii) is included so as to produce a low zero-minute peel value in the pressure sensitive adhesive layer and is intimately mixed with the pressure sensitive adhesive prior to the adhesive being coated on the release surface of the sheet. The resulting laminate can be easily applied to a substrate and removed and repositioned or straightened, if necessary, and provides a superior increase in peel value over a period of time to produce a more permanent installation.

  • Patent number: 6235833
    Abstract: A water-repellent solution for forming a superior water-repellent film on a glass substrate is produced by subjecting a fluoroalkyl-group contained silane compound to a hydrolysis and a condensation polymerization. With this, at least dimers and trimers of the silane compound are produced. In case wherein the fluoroalkyl-group contained silane compound is of a type having the following general formula, satisfied performance of the formed water-repellent film is expected: CF3(CF2)m(CH2)2SiX3 wherein “m” is equal to or greater than 7 (seven) and “X” represents halogen, isocyanate-group or alkoxy-group, said alkoxy-group including methoxy-group [OCH3], ethoxy-group [OC2H5] or isopropoxy-group [OC3H5]. When the “m” is equal to or greater than 9 (nine), the performance of the film is much increased.
