Embodiments provide methods of assembling an apparel product. The methods include applying a composition to a portion of a major component of the apparel product or a portion of a minor component of the apparel product. The methods include coupling the portion of the minor component with the portion of the major component via the composition. The major component forms a base portion of the apparel product and is configured to be supported and worn at least partially over a portion of a wearer. The minor component forms a secondary portion that is configured to be coupled to the major component with an adhesive. The composition is cured to form the adhesive and the apparel product. The adhesive includes a polymer having a cyclodextrin moiety bonded to an azobenzene moiety.

A swelling tape including a base layer and an adhesive swelling is provided. The adhesive swelling layer contains a water-based self-healing binder. An electrode assembly in which the swelling tape is attached to an outer circumferential surface thereof, and a secondary battery including the electrode assembly are also provided.

A method and a mineral wool product include a multiple of lamellae, such as a sandwich panel core. The product includes a plurality of lamellae cut from a mineral wool web, and bonded together by applying an adhesive on the surfaces of two adjacent lamellae to form a web-like product, wherein the adhesive comprises at least one hydrocolloid.

A ply-bonding agent or adhesive composition characterized by a viscosity and a surface tension for the manufacture of paper tissue and paper towel, includes: (a) water; (b) nanofibrillated cellulose; and (c) one or more modifiers effective to modify either or both of (i) the viscosity of the composition or (ii) the surface tension of the composition, wherein the one or more additional modifiers are selected from the group consisting of components (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii), wherein: (iii) is PVOH and a viscosity modifier; (iv) is a viscosity modifier; (v) is a viscosity modifier and a surface tension modifier other than PVOH; (vi) is a water-soluble cellulose derivative; (vii) is a water soluble polyol; and (viii) is a surface tension modifier other than PVOH. The compositions are particularly useful for ply-bonding multi-ply absorbent sheet when the plies are treated with debonder.

An adhesive for heat press molding contains a reaction product obtained by heat treatment on a mixture containing a polycarboxylic acid and a saccharide.

A label which is attachable to object surfaces includes a pressure sensitive adhesive layer having a coat weight equal to or higher than 10 g/m.sup.2. The adhesive layer has a composition which is free of alkylphenol ethoxylate and has been selected to comprise emulsion polymerized, water-dispersible acrylate polymer and non-ionic copolymer based on polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol such that when the adhesive layer is subjected to paper recycling process conditions, the adhesive layer resists disintegration into small fragments.

The present invention relates to an aqueous dispersion of polymer particles and its preparation process, to an adhesive composition comprising the aqueous dispersion and to the use of the adhesive composition for adhering a label on a bottle.

A rolling paper includes a hydrophobic substrate region comprising hydrophobic groups covalently bonded to the rolling paper, and a moisture-activated adhesive adjacent to the hydrophobic substrate region and longitudinal edge of the rolling paper.

To provide a method for protecting a Low-E glass plate, the method being capable of preventing or inhibiting alteration of Low-E layers. Provided is a Low-E glass plate protection method. The protection method includes a step of applying a protective sheet to a surface of a Low-E glass plate having a Low-E layer comprising a zinc component. Here, the protective sheet has a PSA layer. The Low-E layer comprises a zinc component. The PSA layer includes an adsorbent capable of adsorbing ammonia.

A method and a mineral wool product include a multiple of lamellae, such as a sandwich panel core. The product includes a plurality of lamellae cut from a mineral wool web, and bonded together by applying an adhesive on the surfaces of two adjacent lamellae to form a web-like product, wherein the adhesive comprises at least one hydrocolloid.
