  • Patent number: 5225470
    Abstract: Acrylic hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive compositions having a good balance of tack, peel and creep resistance at ambient temperature combined with optical clarity and desirable melt viscosity at elevated temperatures are prepared by copolymerizing acrylic and methacrylic alkyl esters of a non-tertiary alcohol or optionally acids with polymerizable poly methacrylate based macromonomers. The resulting acrylic copolymer has a graft or comb structure in which the acrylic backbone has a low Tg and the pendant macromonomer side chains have a Tg above room temperature. Compounding those acrylic copolymers with tackifiers and plasticizers dramatically improves the balance of pressure sensitive adhesive properties while lowering melt viscosity into a desirable range. The invention provides significant property enhancements even for acrylic copolymers having poor initial peel and shear adhesive properties.

    Abstract: A vinylidene chloride resin comprising (A) 90 to 99% by weight of vinylidene chloride and 1 to 10% by weight of an acrylic or methacrylic monomer is mixed with (B) 0.5 to 5% by weight, based on the resin, of a low-molecular-weight or high-molecular-weight plasticizer and (C) 0.2 to 5% by weight, based on the resin, of a condensed phosphoric acid salt. Even if this resin composition is exposed to high temperatures, thermal decomposition of the vinyl chloride resin is prominently controlled. When this vinylidene chloride resin composition is laminated with a thermoplastic resin having a thermoforming temperature higher than the thermoforming temperature of the vinylidene chloride resin, a packaging resin laminate having an excellent gas-barrier property is obtained.

  • Patent number: 5006582
    Abstract: Acrylic hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive compositions having a good balance of tack, peel and creep resistance at ambient temperature combined with optical clarity and desirable melt viscosity at elevated temperatures are prepared by copolymerizing acrylic and methacrylic alkyl esters of a non-tertiary alcohol or optionally acids with polymerizable poly methacrylate based macromonomers. The resulting acrylic copolymer has a graft or comb structure in which the acrylic backbone has a low Tg and the pendant macromonomer side chains have a Tg above room temperature.Compounding these acrylic copolymers with tackifiers and plasticizers dramatically improves the balance of pressure sensitive adhesive properties while lowering melt viscosity into a desirable range. The invention provides significant property enhancements even for acrylic copolymers having poor initial peel and shear adhesive properties.

    Abstract: A composition and method for treating fibers is based on a mixture of an organopolysiloxane having at least one amino-substituted hydrocarbon radical directly bonded to a silicon atom and a carboxylic acid containing at least one ethylene oxide unit. The carboxylic acid reacts with the amino radicals to reduce yellowing and oxidation of the fiber treatment. The composition and method provide non-yellowing fibers and a treatment agent that does not gel during use, such as when exposed to carbon dioxide and/or used to treat carbon fibers.
