There is provided an article that includes a polymeric layer disposed on and covering a first major surface of an porous layer, an adhesive layer disposed on a second major surface of the elastic layer opposite the polymeric layer; and a liner disposed on a major surface of the polymeric layer opposite the first major surface of the elastic layer. The polymeric layer and the porous layer together form an air and water barrier that is water vapor permeable. The liner is water vapor impermeable. In a preferred embodiment the polymeric layer comprises a polyoxyalkylene polymer having at least one end group derived from an alkoxy silane. A method of applying the article to a surface of a building component is also provided.

An adhesive tape product incorporating foam that is stitch-bonded with a stitching yarn to provide substantial dimensional stability in the machine direction without sacrificing the sound dampening and insulation properties of the foam. A pressure sensitive adhesive is disposed in overlying relation to at least one face of the foam. One or more fibrous layers may be positioned between the foam and the adhesive.

Provided are adhesive articles that include a silicone adhesive and a substrate, with a primer layer interposed between the silicone adhesive and the substrate. The primer layer includes a polymer having a polyorganosiloxane pendant group P represented by the formula (I) where each R.sup.1 is independently an alkyl, haloalkyl, arylalkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or aryl substituted with an alkyl, alkoxy, or halo; R2 is an alkyl or an alkenyl group; R3 is an alkylene or an arylalkylene group; and n is an integer in the range of 1 to 20. The primer layer typically improves the adhesion between the silicone adhesive and a wide variety of substrates.

The present invention relates to a cosmetic article (10A; 10B), intended to be applied on a body area (12) of a user, comprising a decorative layer (18) and an adhesive layer (20).

The decorative layer (18) has through openings (24) and being formed of a textile material.

The adhesive layer (20) is formed by a biocompatible adhesive, the adhesive layer (20) being applied on one side of the decorative layer (18) and having through openings (26), at least some of the through openings (26) of the adhesive layer (20) respectively facing the through openings (24) of the decorative layer (18).

The decorative layer (18) comprises a number of through openings (24, 26) per dm.sup.2 between 500 and 10000, and has an opening rate between 20% and 95%.

The present invention relates to a threadlike adhesive body including a threadlike core material and an adhesive layer covering a surface of the core material in a longitudinal direction, in which the core material is a multifilament yarn including two or more filaments obtained by intertwining or twisting a filament containing a recycled resin and a filament not containing a recycled resin.

A support tape extends longitudinally along an elongated object, is wrapped around the object, and has a pair of opposite longitudinal edges, an inner face engaging the object, and an outer face turned outward away from the object. The support tape is of single-layer design and having a class D abrasion resistance according to LV 312-1. One closure strip of an adhesive compound extends along one of the faces at one of the edges, and another closure strip of an adhesive compound extends parallel to the edges, along the other face, and transversely offset on the other face from the one closure strip. It is adhered to the one closure strip. A fixing strip of an adhesive compound extends longitudinally on the inner face, offset thereon from the one and other closure strips, and adheres the tape to the object.

An adhesive tape comprising a porous substrate having a basis weight of 60-150 g/m.sup.2, a thickness of 200 μm or more, and a void ratio of 35 vol % or more, a resin layer provided to at least one surface of the porous substrate, and an adhesive layer provided on the resin layer, wherein the resin layer is formed from a resin composition (I) including a tackifier resin.
