  • Patent number: 6020412
    Abstract: A reclaimable release coating composition is provided which includes a blend of an adhesion promoter and a silicone release agent which may be applied from an aqueous solution, dispersion or emulsion. The components form regions of adhesion promoting sites disrupted by regions of release sites on the surface of a release backing substrate coated with the composition. The different regions are substantially homogeneously distributed across the entirety of the release surface. When used as a release coating for a backing to protect an adhesive, a controlled release force of a predictable value may be obtained by providing a known weight ratio of adhesion promoter to silicone release agent in the coating composition.

  • Patent number: 5523344
    Abstract: Adhesive formulations are blends of aqueous polymer dispersions and a hydrophobic plasticizer. The blended dispersed polymers include at least one hard sulfonated polyester urethane, at least one soft non-sulfonated polyester urethane, and at least one polar non-polyurethane water-based polymer or copolymer. A high molecular weight elastomeric non-sulfonated polyurethane polymer and a crosslinker are optional further components in the blend. The formulations are useful as non-heat activating, one-component adhesives which generate excellent green strength, water and heat resistant bonds.

  • Patent number: 5521239
    Abstract: The invention concerns a rubber eraser made of a binder and plasticizer, as well as fillers, pigments and/or other additives, if applicable, which contains polyalkyl methacrylate (PAMA), especially polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyethyl methacrylate (PEMA), polypropyl methacrylate (PPMA), polybutyl methacrylate (PBMA) and/or copolymerizates of these as the binder. Furthermore, the invention concerns processes for manufacturing such rubber erasers, where either first, a plastisol of fine-grain polyalkyl methacrylate and plasticizer is formed, and fillers, internal lubricants, pigments and/or other additives are then mixed into this plastisol, or according to which first, the PAMA powder, the filler as well as any other dry components such as internal lubricants, pigments, etc. are intimately mixed while dry, and the liquid plasticizer is then added to this mixture and mixed or kneaded in.

  • Patent number: 5518652
    Abstract: The invention relates to copolymers made from mono-reactive liquid and/or di-reactive liquid crystals which can be photopolymerized to form copolymers and to novel reactive liquid crystal compound having a nematic phase. Preferentially the reactive liquid crystal is polymerized while in the liquid crystal phase to produce an oriented birefringent polymer film. To do this, the reactive liquid crystal, in its nematic or smectic phase is aligned (by well known techniques such as rubbed polyimide, etc.) and the thin film containing a small amount of photoinitiator, is subjected to ultraviolet light whereupon it polymerizes into a thin, aligned polymer film.

  • Patent number: 5463147
    Abstract: Mixtures of isomeric decyl alcohols prepared by hydroformylation of mixtures of butene-1 and butene-2 in two stages to give aldehyde mixtures, and condensation of the aldehyde mixtures to form an aldol mixture, followed by separation and hydrogenation. The first stage of the hydroformylation proceeds in the presence of rhodium catalysts dissolved in water, the second stage in the presence of cobalt catalysts homogeneously dissolved in the reaction medium. The mixture of isomeric decyl alcohols, when esterified with phthalic acid, yields a mixture of isomeric decyl phthalates which are useful as plasticizers.
