The present invention comprises a single-component binder for heat-sealing applications which can be used for the sealing of polyester foils, in particular of polyethylene terephthalate foils (PET foils) with respect to containers made of polystyrene, of PVC, and of polyester. These polyesters can in particular be polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polylactic acid (PLA). The binders here feature not only good seal seam strengths but also in particular good transparency and excellent application properties. A substantive aspect of the invention is that the sealing can be achieved without addition of adhesion promoters, in particular without addition of adhesion promoters based on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or on polyester, and that barrier properties and sealing properties achieved in respect of containers made of PS and of PET are nevertheless at least comparable with, and sometimes better than, those achieved with heat-sealing systems already marketed.

Modified thermoplastic hydrocarbon thermoplastic resins are provided, as well as methods of their manufacture and uses thereof in rubber compositions. The modified thermoplastic resins are modified by decreasing the relative quantity of the dimer, trimer, tetramer, and pentamer oligomers as compared to the corresponding unmodified thermoplastic resin polymers, resulting in a product that exhibits a greater shift in the glass transition temperature of the elastomer(s) used in tire formulations. This translates to better viscoelastic predictors of tire tread performance, such as wet grip and rolling resistance. The modified thermoplastic resins impart remarkable properties on various rubber compositions, such as tires, belts, hoses, brakes, and the like. Automobile tires incorporating the modified thermoplastic resins are shown to possess excellent results in balancing the properties of rolling resistance, tire wear, snow performance, and wet braking performance.

A method for manufacturing a pressure-sensitive self-adhering adhesive is based on an alkoxylated silane-containing polymer, to which is added at least one tackifying resin compatible with the alkoxylated, silane-containing polymer, and at least one catalyst (K). To overcome various disadvantages of the prior art, such as a too-slow or excessively violent reaction of the alkoxyl groups, and the need for an additional supplying of water, the alkoxylated silane-containing polymer is crosslinked using a catalyst (K) that comprises a Lewis acid-base adduct, wherein the Lewis acid (LS) is a reaction-inhibited cation at least in the temperature range below 60° C., and the Lewis base (LB) is an anion of a very strong acid. In a preferred embodiment the Lewis acid (LS) is an organyl-group-containing (AG) halogen-onium cation, and the Lewis base (LB) is the anion of a superacid.

Adhesive compositions that replace gaskets and liners in sealing applications for packages that are detachable with hand force are described. The adhesive compositions are particularly useful in preventing leaks and spillage during storage and transport of its packaged contents.
