Glue compositions and methods for their manufacture are provided. A glue composition contains a metallocene-catalyzed polyolefin wax present in an amount of at least 25 percent, by weight, and a tackifier present in an amount of at least 20 percent, by weight. The glue composition is solid at room temperature and is configured to provide an adhesive layer onto a substrate upon abrasion thereagainst.

The present disclosure generally relates to silicone gels cured via a condensation cure chemistry and their use in encapsulating, sealing or filling of electrical and/or electronic parts, which, compared to conventional known silicone gels, exhibit good bonding to the electrical or electronic parts even when used under high-temperature conditions.

There is provided an elastomer composition which can be molded like a thermoplastic resin by using a conventional plastics processing equipment, and has a very small compression set like a vulcanized rubber. The elastomer composition comprises: 100 parts by mass of an ethylene/-olefin copolymer (A); 10 to 150 parts by mass of a propylene-based resin (B); and 5 to 150 parts by mass of a non-aromatic softener for rubber (C); 0.03 to 1 parts by mass of an organic peroxide (D); 0.5 to 7 parts by mass of a silane coupling agent (E); 0 to 2 parts by mass of a crosslinking aid (F); and 0 to 100 parts by mass of an inorganic filler (G).

An organosiloxane composition and the use of such compositions is provided. The organosiloxane composition comprises (a) 20-55 wt. % of at least one polymerization-effective polymer bearing two or more silicon atoms; (b) 24-60 wt. % of a first filler of average particle size from 0.1 m to 10 m; (c) optionally a second filler; (d) a crosslinking agent; and (e) a catalyst. The use of the first filler having that size range and present in this amount provides improved dirt pick up resistance to films and coatings formed from the compositions.

There is disclosed a layered article that can be used in indirect printing, in analog or digital processes. The layered article, when configured as a transfer member, may serve to receive an ink in any form, allow the ink to be treated so as to form an ink image, and permit the application of the ink image on a substrate. The transfer member comprises a support layer and an imaging layer, which may be formed of a silicon matrix including dispersed carbon black particles. Methods for preparing the same are also disclosed.
