A connector-equipped electrical wire has a coated electrical wire, a terminal metal fitting, a connector housing, and an adhesive. The coated electrical wire has a conductor and a coating material that is made of a cross-linked polyethylene resin and with which the conductor is coated. The terminal metal fitting is connected to an end portion of the coated electrical wire. The connector housing in which the end portion is embedded is integrally formed with the coated electrical wire and the terminal metal fitting. The adhesive is disposed in a portion of a gap located between the coating material of the end portion and the connector housing, and seals the gap.

A multi-phasic polymer blend for energy activated edge banding adhesion to a substrate is described. While the blend may be used for adhering edge banding to straight substrates, the blend is preferred for adhering edge banding to contoured substrates. The outer, hard, structural layer of the edge banding is formed from a polypropylene component. The polypropylene component at least includes polypropylene and an optional energy adsorber. The inner adhesion layer of the edge banding is formed from a multi-phasic polymer blend that bonds the outer layer of the edge banding to the substrate. The multi-phasic polymer blend at least includes a polyamide component, a polyolefin component, and a modified polypropylene component. Both the outer and inner layers forming the edge banding may be tinted to conform or contrast with the color of the finished substrate.

The present disclosure relates to a resin composition for an adhesive layer. The resin composition contains: a polyphenylene sulfide-based resin (A); a polyamide resin (B); a first thermoplastic resin (C) containing at least one type of functional group selected from the group consisting of an epoxy group, an acid anhydride group, a carboxyl group, a carboxylic acid salt, and a carboxylic acid ester; and a second thermoplastic resin (D) that is free of epoxy groups, acid anhydride groups, carboxyl groups, carboxylic acid salts, and carboxylic acid esters. The resin composition contains, with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyphenylene sulfide-based resin (A), from 80 to 300 parts by weight of the polyamide resin (B), from 20 to 200 parts by weight of the first thermoplastic resin (C), and from 10 to 100 parts by weight of the second thermoplastic resin (D), and a terminal amino group concentration of the polyamide resin (B) is from 48 to 120 mmol/kg.
