The specification relates to a density adjustable label and a label laminate (8) for providing the same. Further, the specification concerns a combination of a label (1) and an item (100), as well as a method for manufacturing the label laminate (8). The label (1) comprises a face layer (2) and an adhesive layer (4). The face layer (2) comprises natural fibre based material. The adhesive layer (4) comprises pressure sensitive adhesive and at least one additive for adjusting total density of the label. The pressure sensitive adhesive comprises acrylic polymer(s). The additive comprises expandable particles, the label is detachable from a surface labelled at washing conditions having temperature in a range of 60-90° C. or above and the detached label is arranged to float on a washing liquid.

The invention concerns a linerless self-adhesive material obtained starting from a self-adhesive material with a liner, by means of a process that comprises the delamination of the liner from a self-adhesive layer, activation of the liner or self-adhesive layer, transferral of the liner over the self-adhesive layer and re-lamination of the two components so as to produce the linerless self-adhesive material. The liner or the self-adhesive layer is coated with a thermo-adhesive that allows for permanent lamination of the liner located on the self-adhesive layer.

A label which is attachable to object surfaces includes a pressure sensitive adhesive layer having a coat weight equal to or higher than 10 g/m.sup.2. The adhesive layer has a composition which is free of alkylphenol ethoxylate and has been selected to comprise emulsion polymerized, water-dispersible acrylate polymer and non-ionic copolymer based on polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol such that when the adhesive layer is subjected to paper recycling process conditions, the adhesive layer resists disintegration into small fragments.

A label and liner assembly comprises one or more labels, the label(s) including a facestock and an adhesive layer on a surface of the facestock. A support liner is releasably adhered to the adhesive layer, the support liner defining a plurality of embossings projecting from a surface of the support liner toward or away from the label. A transfer tape and a method for assembling label material are also provided.

A biodegradable pressure sensitive adhesive includes:

The present invention relates to an aqueous dispersion of polymer particles and its preparation process, to an adhesive composition comprising the aqueous dispersion and to the use of the adhesive composition for adhering a label on a bottle.

The present invention is stickers for exercise mats, such as those commonly used in yoga or pilates. These mat stickers are available in a multitude of geometric shapes and adhere to the mats via an acrylic surface. A preferred thickness for the mat stickers is approximately 1.5 mm, which provides a sufficient grip for the practitioner, but is thin enough to roll into the mat at the conclusion of the exercise.

A curable polysiloxane release coating composition comprises (A) an organopolysiloxane containing ethylenically unsaturated groups. Component (A) is selected from: (A1) a branched organopolysiloxane containing at least three (3) organopolysiloxane branch chains linked through a central core including at least two (2) organopolysiloxane branch chains each of which contain an ethylenically unsaturated group; and/or (A2) a linear organopolysiloxane containing at least 2 ethylenically unsaturated groups having at least six (6) carbon atoms. The composition further comprises (B) an organopolysiloxane containing at least 2 Si—H groups, and (C) a hydrosilylation catalyst. The composition yet further comprises (D) a hydrosilylation inhibitor comprising a maleimide of the general formula (I):

##STR00001##

In formula (I), A.sup.3 represents a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbyl or substituted hydrocarbyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, and A.sup.1 and A.sup.2 each represent a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbyl or substituted hydrocarbyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms.

A heat-sensitive label that can achieve both sufficient adhesive strength and high recyclability is provided. A heat-sensitive label comprising a substrate layer and a heat sealing layer (A) on the substrate layer, wherein the heat sealing layer (A) comprises a heat sealing resin and a carboxylic anhydride-modified polyolefin resin (h); and a product MCh of an acid value M (mgKOH/g) of the carboxylic anhydride-modified polyolefin resin (h) and a content Ch (% by mass) of the carboxylic anhydride-modified polyolefin resin (h) in the heat sealing layer (A) is 1.5 to 6.0.

An adhesive label is provided. The adhesive label includes an adhesive patch that covers at least 50% but less than 85% of a backside surface of the adhesive label and that is at least partially horizontally and vertically centered on the backside surface.
