  • Publication number: 20100055370
    Abstract: A description is given of an adhesive composition comprising, in a solvent, at least one first organic polymer and at least one different, particulate, second organic polymer. The first polymer is an adhesive polymer having a glass transition temperature of less than or equal to 0° C. which forms a film on a substrate. The second polymer is present in the composition in the form of dispersed solid nanoparticles, has an average particle size of less than or equal to 50 nm and a glass transition temperature of at least 50° C., and does not form a film on a substrate. The composition can be used to produce redetachable self-adhesive articles, more particularly paper labels, film labels or adhesive sheets.

  • Publication number: 20090137720
    Abstract: A flocculent composition and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. The flocculent composition has an excellent ability to adhere to suspended particles, does not cause an increase in the viscosity of sludge, provides good drainage during mechanical dewatering to allow a reduction in the water content of a cake, and is applicable to various types of sludge. These characteristics are obtained by utilizing advantages of a crosslinking water-soluble polymer and a linear water-soluble polymer and changing the compounding ratio of the crosslinking water-soluble polymer to the linear water-soluble polymer according to the form of the size distribution of sludge particles. The flocculent composition includes a vinyl polymer-type crosslinking water-soluble polymer (A) having a charge inclusion ratio of 20% or more and a vinyl polymer-type linear water-soluble polymer (B) having a charge inclusion ratio of 5% or more and less than 20%.
