A vehicle is wrapped by an adhesive film which is then slit by applying first tape to the vehicle having a longitudinally extending filament carried by the tape at a position spaced from the side edges. A second tape is applied over the film at the first tape body so as to bridge to each side of the filament and pulling the filament so as to tear through the film and the first ad second tapes body with the second tape applying a force to the film acting to reduce tendency of the film to pull away from the object during the cutting by the filament as the filament is pulled.

An adhesive, more particularly a thermally curable, meltable, preferably pressure-sensitive adhesive, which is curable thermally from a temperature of 110 C., is storage-stable for approximately one month at 60 C. and longer than one year at 23 C., and an adhesive tape produced therefrom, comprising an epoxide-functionalized acrylonitrile/butadiene copolymer having on average more than 1.5 epoxide groups per molecule, and the ground reaction product of phthalic anhydride and diethylenetriamine, for use in the automotive industry both in bodyshell construction on oiled metal sheets and in the coating line on cathodically electrocoated or otherwise-coated metal sheets, for bonding and/or sealing, for example for hem fold bonding, for hem fold sealing, for seam sealing, for underseal bonding, for hole stopping, and much more.

To provide a decorative film whereby formation of wrinkles is suppressed when attached to a three dimensional molded product in a stretched state, and a method for producing a decorative film-attached three dimensional molded product. The decorative film of the present invention is a decorative film having at least a base film and a top layer containing a fluorinated polymer, the top layer being disposed on one surface, wherein the surface reflection intensity Wa at a wavelength of from 0.1 to 0.3 mm and the surface reflection intensity Wb at a wavelength of from 0.3 to 1.0 mm, of the top layer as measured by using a wave scan apparatus in such a state that the decorative film is stretched by 1.5 times, are both at most 30.0.

A non-contact method of joining two components via direct heating of a thermoset adhesive includes applying the thermoset adhesive to at least a first component of the two components. The thermoset adhesive includes a susceptor to reacts in the presence of an electromagnetic field. The method includes placing the first component and a second component of the two components in proximity to an electromagnetic field. In some aspects, the method includes placing the first and second components in proximity to an electromagnetic field of a capacitor. The susceptor interacts with the electromagnetic field to heat the thermoset adhesive via resistive heating. In some aspects, a method of direct-contact heating of the thermoset adhesive includes attaching electrodes to a film comprising the adhesive. The components being joined together are not directly heated by the electromagnetic field, and as a result experience much lower temperatures than the thermoset adhesive.

An antifog film according to an aspect of the present invention is an antifog film to be attached to a glass plate. The antifog film includes a substrate layer; an antifog layer with antifog properties layered on one surface of the substrate layer; and a sticky layer layered on the other surface of the substrate layer. A release sheet is attached to the sticky layer, and a protective film is attached to the antifog layer.

The present invention aims to provide a flexible resin foam having excellent shapeability and a resin foam sheet, an adhesive tape, a member for a vehicle, and a member for a building each including the resin foam. Provided is a resin foam having a multitude of cells, the resin foam including: a polyvinyl acetal; and a plasticizer, the resin foam having an elongation strain of 300% or more and a 50% compression stress of 70 kPa or less.

A multilayer film, which is used upon being adhered to a fabric, includes an adhesive layer to be a side of the multilayer film to be adhered to the fabric; and a barrier layer bonded to the adhesive layer. Each of the adhesive layer and the barrier layer includes a thermoplastic polyester elastomer. A melting point of the barrier layer is higher than a melting point of the adhesive layer. A ratio value of a content ratio of a soft segment in the thermoplastic polyester elastomer in the adhesive layer with respect to a content ratio of a soft segment in the thermoplastic polyester elastomer in the barrier layer, is 5 or less.

The present invention aims to provide a resin foam, a resin foam sheet, an adhesive tape, a member for a vehicle, and a member for a building that are capable of exhibiting very high sound insulation properties. Provided is a resin foam having a multitude of cells, the resin foam containing: a thermoplastic resin; and a plasticizer, the resin foam having a minimum loss factor of a primary anti-resonance frequency in the range of 20 C. to 60 C. of 0.05 or higher and a secondary anti-resonance frequency in the range of 20 C. to 60 C. of 300 to 800 Hz as measured by mechanical impedance measurement (MIM) in conformity with JIS G0602.

Disclosed are a method, a device and/or a system of cast vinyl film and, more particularly, to a method and system to provide a repositionable translucent cast vinyl film with an air-egress adhesive layer. In one aspect, a method includes mixing a solvent based polyvinyl chloride (PVC) organosol with a stabilizer and an additive to get a desired shade of pellucid tint of a translucent thermoplastic stretch wrap film. Further, the method includes casting the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) organosol onto a film carrier and moving the film carrier through a plurality of ovens at varying temperatures to cure into a solid film. The cured solid film is laminated to an air-egress liner casted with a solvent-borne acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive to provide ease of installation. The adhesive includes an air release patterning to allow escape of air from back of the film while repositioning the film around a complex shaped surface.
