A second side of the adhesion promoting layer disposed towards the substrate has an affinity to bond with the substrate material.

A compressible substrate coated at least in part with a waterborne coating composition comprising at least one base neutralized active hydrogen containing film-forming resin and a water dispersible carbodiimide crosslinker capable of reacting with the film-forming resin to form a crosslinked film is disclosed. An article of manufacture having at least two different flexible substrates coated at least in part with such a coating is also disclosed.

An article manufactured in a mould and which comprises a structural composite of plastics layers, the article having a wall defining an internal space for holding contents therein; wherein, the wall is formed from at least two layers of plastics materials; wherein a first of said layers comprises a thermoplastics material and at least a second layer comprises a thermosetting resin and a fibrous layer.

A curative containing two or more primary hydroxyl groups per molecule and one or more moieties derived from a secondary hydroxyl-containing polyol such as polypropylene glycol is prepared in a multistage process wherein the secondary hydroxyl-containing polyol is end-capped with an excess of a reactant such as a polybasic acid and the resulting functionalized intermediate is then reacted with a polyol such as glycerin or diethylene glycol containing primary hydroxyl groups. Such curatives may be used in combination with isocyanate-functionalized polyurethane prepolymers to provide two component adhesives useful for laminating thin films and/or foils.

A two-part adhesive includes an A side, a B side, at least one of a polyurethane prepolymer and a diisocyanate, a polyol, a catalyst, and an adhesion promoter. The polyurethane prepolymer or diisocyanate is present in the A side from about 50% to 100% by weight of the A side composition. The polyol is present in the B side from about 52% to about 98% by weight of the B side composition. The catalyst is present in the B side from about 0.5% to about 5% by weight of the B side composition. The adhesion promoter is present in at least one of the A side composition and the B side composition from about 10% to about 50% by weight of the two-part adhesive. A ratio of isocyanate groups in the A side to hydroxyl groups in the B side is greater than 1.5:1.

The present invention concerns a printing ink for a polyolefin polymer-based support, comprising at least a binder and at least a pigment, said binder being an oxidized polyolefin wax emulsified in water, said wax having a Brookfield viscosity less than 5000 mPa.Math.s at 150 C. and acidity between 28 and 32 mg KOH/g, the viscosity of said ink being less than 2000 mPa.Math.s at 25 C.
