An object of the present invention is to provide a protein adhesive containing a protein, a joined body, and a method for producing the same. The protein adhesive of the present invention contains a protein of 50 KDa or less. The joined body of one embodiment is a joined body including a first object, a second object, and an adhesive layer interposed between the first object and the second object, in which the first object and the second object are joined by the adhesive layer, and the adhesive layer is an adhesive layer formed of a protein adhesive containing a protein of 50 KDa or less.

Embodiment relates to film for bonding, and a light-transmitting laminate including the same and the like, a film for bonding comprising an embossed surface, wherein the embossed surface has an A2/A1 value of 1 or less are disclosed. A film for bonding have improved in deairing stability during formation of a light transmitting laminate, an edge sealing characteristic, and the like by controlling characteristics of a embossed surface.

A composite membrane comprising (i) a polymeric membrane panel, said panel having first and second planar surfaces; (ii) a cross-linked adhesive layer disposed on said first planar surface of said polymeric membrane panel, said cross-linked adhesive layer having first and second planar surfaces, where said first planar surface of said cross-linked adhesive layer is in contact with said first planar surface of said polymeric membrane panel; and (iii) an optional release member disposed on said second planar surface of said cross-linked adhesive layer, where said polymeric membrane panel includes a functionalized polymer at said second planar surface.

Provided is a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) sheet including a PSA layer that exhibits improved water resistance. The PSA sheet provided by the present invention includes a PSA layer formed from a water-dispersed PSA composition containing an acrylic polymer as a base polymer, a water-dispersed tackifier resin, and at least any one type of Na ions and K ions. The total amount of Na ions and K ions in the PSA sheet is 0.3 part by weight or more to 0.8 part by weight or less per 100 parts by weight of the PSA sheet.

The present invention relates to a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition including a compound having a substituent represented by the general formula (1) described in the specification, in which when each of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 in the substituent represented by the general formula (1) represents a hydrogen atom, a distance between an oxygen atom of —OR.sup.1 and an oxygen atom of —OR.sup.2 is 1.31 Å or more and 4.70 Å or less, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet comprising the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.

A separation sheet includes a polymeric carrier layer, a first adhesive layer, a second adhesive layer, and optionally a first and a second release liner. A method for producing a separation sheet, a method for waterproofing a substrate, a waterproofed substrate, and a use of the separation sheet for bonding of roof membranes to roof substrates.

A method is provided for forming an adhered membrane roof system that meets Factory Mutual (FM) 4470/4474 standards for wind uplift. The method comprises applying a bond adhesive to a substrate on a roof to form an adhesive layer and applying a membrane directly to the adhesive layer. The bond adhesive includes a moisture-curable polymer.

Included are methods for sealing seams of resilient surface covering including the application of a curable composition at a seam and applying radiation to the curable composition. The radiation may be any suitable source such as UV or visible light.

A sheet includes a support layer and a coating layer on a side of the support layer. The coating layer is partially cured. The coating layer has carbon-carbon double bonds. The relative amount of carbon-carbon double bonds is higher at the surface of the coating layer than at the contact surface of the coating layer with the support layer. Methods are disclosed to manufacture such sheets; and to produce a decorative panel using such sheets.
