Suggested is a transparent adhesive material provided with an outermost surface layer containing an acrylic polymer (B) and a photocrosslinking initiator, and an intermediate layer containing an olefinic polymer (A), a crosslinking agent, and a photocrosslinking initiator, in which the intermediate layer contains a (meth)acrylate monomer as the crosslinking agent.

A method for adhering together rubbers to be adhered including a rubber composition containing an ethylene-α-olefin copolymer, an organic peroxide (X1), and carbon black (Y1), using a rubber for adhesion including a rubber composition containing an ethylene-α-olefin copolymer, an organic peroxide (X2), and carbon black (Y2) at an adhesive interface, wherein contents of the organic peroxide (X1) in the rubber to be adhered and the organic peroxide (X2) in the rubber for adhesion are predetermined contents, and a content ratio (X2/X1) of the organic peroxide (X2) to the organic peroxide (X1) is from 1.20 to 2.00.

The present invention comprises a single-component binder for heat-sealing applications which can be used for the sealing of polyester foils, in particular of polyethylene terephthalate foils (PET foils) with respect to containers made of polystyrene, of PVC, and of polyester. These polyesters can in particular be polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polylactic acid (PLA). The binders here feature not only good seal seam strengths but also in particular good transparency and excellent application properties. A substantive aspect of the invention is that the sealing can be achieved without addition of adhesion promoters, in particular without addition of adhesion promoters based on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or on polyester, and that barrier properties and sealing properties achieved in respect of containers made of PS and of PET are nevertheless at least comparable with, and sometimes better than, those achieved with heat-sealing systems already marketed.
