An adhesive composition and use thereof for providing adhered roof systems, the adhesive composition including at least one elastomer, at least one organic solvent, at least one powdered superabsorber polymer, and at least one color pigment. The method includes preparing an adhered roof system, an adhered roof system, and the use of color pigments in an anhydrous adhesive composition for enabling leak detection in adhered roof systems by visual inspection.

The present invention relates to a permanently attached UHF band RFID tire tag and a manufacturing method thereof, and more specifically, the present invention relates to a permanently attached UHF band RFID tire tag and a manufacturing method thereof, which is attached to a tire surface during the manufacturing process of a tire in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment, enabling the management of tire manufacturing history from the beginning of the production to product shipment, and thereafter, the durability is maintained even in the flexing motion of a tire that occurs while the tire is installed and operated in a vehicle such that chip damage of a tag and tag detachment from the tire do not occur, and therefore, it enables RFID communication to be performed without obstacles until the end of a tire life.
