A display apparatus includes a display, a housing including a peripheral portion having a first side to which the display is attached, a back plate attached to s second side of the peripheral portion of the housing, and a plurality of double-sided adhesive tapes attached to the peripheral portion. Each of the plurality of double-sided adhesive tapes includes an end portion having an opening. The peripheral portion includes an adhesive-applied region applied with adhesive and a region not applied with the adhesive, and the adhesive-applied region extends from the opening in one of the plurality of double-sided adhesive tapes to the opening in the adjacent one of the plurality of double-sided adhesive tapes.

The present invention is an assembly layer for a flexible device. Within a temperature range of between about −30° C. to about 90° C., the assembly layer has a shear storage modulus at a frequency of 1 Hz that does not exceed about 2 MPa, a shear creep compliance (J) of at least about 6×10.sup.−6 1/Pa measured at 5 seconds with an applied shear stress between about 50 kPa and about 500 kPa, and a strain recovery of at least about 50% at at least one point of applied shear stress within the range of about 5 kPa to about 500 kPa within about 1 minute after removing the applied shear stress. The assembly layer includes at least one of a polyisoprene, a polybutadiene, an olefin block copolymer, a polyisobutylene, and high alkyl polyolefin.

A skin-adhesive item is described that can include a substrate F coated continuously or discontinuously on at least one of the two faces thereof by a pressure-sensitive silicone adhesive Z that has been previously sterilized by means of gamma radiation and demonstrates good tack on the skin even after sterilization.

Provided is an adhesive member including: a base material having an uneven shape on at least one surface; and a surface layer covering at least a portion of the surface having the uneven shape on the base material.

A water-based adhesive which comprises a dispersed polymer and an emulsified silicone resin polymer. The adhesive is postcrosslinkable via reactive groups.

Provided is a silicone adhesive composition having (A) a condensation product of a linear or branched diorganopolysiloxane having a silicon atom-bonded hydroxy group and/or a silicon atom-bonded alkoxy group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms at a terminal and having no alkenyl group, a linear or branched diorganopolysiloxane having at least two alkenyl groups, and an organopolysiloxane comprising an R.sup.1.sub.3SiO.sub.0.5 unit and an SiO.sub.2 unit and having a silicon atom-bonded hydroxy group and/or a silicon atom-bonded alkoxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, (B) an organohydrogenpolysiloxane having at least three SiH groups and an average polymerization degree of 80 or less in an amount of 0.1 to 5 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of component (A), and (C) a platinum group metal catalyst in a catalytic amount.

A cleaning agent composition for use in removal of a polysiloxane adhesive remaining on a substrate, the composition containing a tetrahydrocarbylammonium fluoride and an organic solvent, wherein the organic solvent contains an alkylene glycol dialkyl ether and a lactam compound represented by formula (1).

(in formula (1), R.sup.101 represents a C1 to C6 alkyl group, and R.sup.102 represents a C1 to C6 alkylene group.)

A compressible seal (400A) includes a compressible body (406) having a first surface (410) and a second surface. A pattern of discontinuous adhesive regions (412) is formed of an adhesive connected with at least one of the first surface (410) or the second surface of the compressible body (406). The compressible body (406) is operable to conform around the pattern of adhesive regions (412) to prevent fluid ingress when the compressible body (406) is compressed.

This disclosure describes inflatable articles such as airbags for inflatable safety devices for a vehicle passenger-protecting system, a process for manufacturing said inflatable articles, hydrosilylation curable silicone elastomer compositions and their uses in assembling said inflatable safety devices. The composition used comprised an organopolysiloxane based additive which comprises at least one, alternatively at least two Si—H groups per molecule and at least one, alternatively at least two functional groups per molecule, selected from anhydride groups and epoxy groups.

Disclosed herein is a silicone gel having a surface treated with an additive. The additive comprises a synthetic, micronized hydrocarbon wax selected from a polyethylene, a polytetrafluoroethylene, a polypropylene, an amide wax, and any combination thereof. Alternatively, the additive comprises a micronized metallic stearate. The additive has a melting point of at least 90° C., or from about 90° C. to about 160° C.
