A hot melt adhesive film, and a preparation method, use, and an organosilicon polymer thereof are provided. The hot melt adhesive film includes: an inner layer, which is a polyolefin elastomer (POE); outer layers, which are an ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer on two surfaces of the inner layer; and intermediate layers, which are an organosilicon polymer between the inner layer and the outer layers. As intermediate layers, the organosilicon polymer plays the role of connection and transition, improves a bonding force between EVA and POE layers, and improves the stability of the hot melt adhesive film during long-term use. The hot melt adhesive film can be used as a packaging material for solar panels, touch screens, and the like.

This hard coat layer (δ) may comprise an active energy ray-curable resin composition that contains (A) 100 parts by mass of a polyfunctional (meth)acrylate; (B) 0.2-4 parts by mass of a compound having an alkoxysilyl group and a (meth)acryloyl group; (C) 0.05-3 parts by mass of organic titanium; and (D) 5-100 parts by mass of fine particles having an average particle diameter of 1-300 nm. This active energy ray-curable resin composition may further contain (E) 0.01-7 parts by mass of a water-repelling agent.

The present invention relates to a foam tape for a sound-absorbing tire, the foam tape including a release film; a tacky adhesive layer formed underneath the release film; a base film formed underneath the tacky adhesive layer; an adhesive layer formed underneath the base film; and a sound-absorbing material layer having a porous structure and formed underneath the adhesive layer, and the foam tape having enhanced adhesive force to a tire, and the present invention also relates to a sound-absorbing tire including the foam tape for a sound-absorbing tire.

A sanitary covering is retrofit over an existing handle or railing, particularly a shopping cart handle A stability-enhancing element in the form of compression foam is adhesively secured to an existing handle. A metal cover, such as of anodized aluminum, with a pathogen-eliminating outer surface (such as a biocidal or antimicrobial coating), jackets the compression foam. The cover may be in two parts having elements interlocking them together so as to be securely attached together and securely engage the compression foam. A method of retrofitting a sanitary covering over an existing handle or rail is also provided utilizing a stability-enhancing element and a metal cover with a biocidal or antimicrobial outer coating.

The present invention provides switchable adhesives comprising a mixture, in proportions by weight, of 20% to 98% of an adhesive, 2% to 80% of curable molecules and 0.05% to 10% of photoinitiator in which the weight proportion of the adhesive is calculated on the basis of its dry weight and wherein the adhesive includes an internal cross-linker for cross-linking the adhesive during drying to provide a cohesive strength of between 5 and 100 N/12.7×12.7 mm measured according to FINAT test method No. 18. Preferably, the adhesive and curable molecules are mutually soluble when dry, or the curable molecules and adhesive may be uniformly dispersed in each other. Preferably the amount of adhesive in the mixture is in the range 40% to 98% by weight, more preferably 60% to 95% by weight, even more preferably 70% to 85% by weight. Preferably the proportion of curable molecules in the mixture ranges from 2% to 60% by weight, more preferably 5% to 40% by weight, even more preferably 15% to 30% by weight. Preferably, the photoinitiator is present in the mixture in the proportions 0.5% to 5% by weight, more preferably 1% to 3% by weight. Such switchable adhesives are useful in medical dressings and other removable sheet products, and may be simply prepared by stirring the adhesive, the curable molecules and the photoinitiator together at room temperature.
