Provided herein is a solvent-based pressure sensitive adhesive comprising a polymer comprising a vinyl acetate monomer, an acrylic ester monomer, and a monomer having hydroxyl or amine functionality. The adhesive also comprise a crosslinker. The coated and dried adhesive has outgassing of less than 2000 ng/cm.sup.2, even when applied to an electronic device that is operated at elevated temperature.

Described herein is an absorbent article. The absorbent article includes an assembly of components and an adhesive composition joining at least two of the assembly of components together. The adhesive composition includes from about 50 wt. % to about 80 wt. % of one or more copolymers and a blend of one or more heterophase copolymers. The one or more copolymers include from about 30 mole % to about 70 mole % of monomer units selected from ethylene. 1-butene, and mixtures thereof. The one or more copolymers also include from about 30 mole % to about 70 mole % of propene monomer units. The adhesive composition is free of polyisobutylene and has a viscosity of from about 2,000 mPa.Math.s to about 11,500 mPa.Math.s at 150° C.

An adhesive composition comprising a cyanoacrylate and a solidifying polymer. The composition may further comprise a hydrophilic material, e.g. silica particles, and/or one or more polymerisation inhibitors. The adhesive composition may be disposed on a surgical mesh. The surgical mesh carrying the adhesive composition may be used for hernia repair.

Non-sensitizing pressure sensitive adhesives which are useful in medical applications and other uses where an adhesive is in contact with skin are obtained by energy-curing compositions containing one or more acrylate-functionalized compounds and possibly other components which are selected such that the cured adhesive passes an in vitro cytotoxicity test in accordance with ISO 10993-5 (2009).
