A member for use in undersea applications comprising a plurality of conduits assembled into a bundle; the bundle being wrapped with a pressure-sensitive tape comprising a backing, a layer of corrosion-resistant yarns on one surface of the backing, and pressure-sensitive adhesive layer that coats the corrosion-resistant yarns and binds them to the backing.

The invention relates to a method for peeling a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape including: a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape has a thickness greater than 150 μm and smaller than 1,500 μm, an elongation at break of 600% to 3,000%, and a stress at break of 2.5 to 80.0 MPa. According to the invention, the conformity and the adhesion with respect to an adherend, particularly, a hard adherend, are excellent, and excellent re-peeling properties are obtained, so that the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape can be stretched and peeled off in a horizontal direction, without necessity for embrittling the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape by heating or by using an organic solvent or the like or without remaining of the pressure-sensitive adhesive on the adherend, in a case of peeling the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape.

Also to use the acoustic damping material for damping of vibrations and noise in transportation vehicles and white goods, to a vibration and noise damping element including a damping layer composed of the acoustic damping material, to a method for applying a vibration and noise damping element to a noise emitting surface of a substrate, and to a vibration damped system including a substrate and the vibration and noise damping element bonded to a noise emitting surface of the substrate.

Provided herein are butyl rubber based pressure sensitive adhesive compositions comprising low molecular weight polyisobutylene oligomers and a multifunctional crosslinker. These adhesive compositions can exhibit high adhesion and shear resistance without requiring curing at high temperature to provide the compositions with these advantageous performance properties. Also provided are adhesive tapes and methods using the disclosed adhesive compositions.

There is provided an adhesive agent exhibiting high adhesive strength to polyolefin. An adhesive agent contains a chloroprene copolymer latex containing a chloroprene copolymer (A) and a metal oxide (B). The chloroprene copolymer (A) is a copolymer of a monomer group containing chloroprene (A-1), α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid (A-2), and 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene (A-3). The chloroprene copolymer (A) has a tetrahydrofuran-soluble component soluble in tetrahydrofuran and the weight average molecular weight of the tetrahydrofuran-soluble component is 80000 or more and 140000 or less. When the amount of the metal oxide (B) based on 100 parts by mass of the chloroprene copolymer (A) is defined as Y part(s) by mass and the weight average molecular weight of the tetrahydrofuran-soluble component is defined as X, the content of the metal oxide (B) satisfies Formula: −1.2×X/100000+1.6<Y<−4.2×X/100000+5.7.
