The present invention relates to an elongated elastic seam tape comprising an elongated elastic conductor as well as to a method of manufacturing such an elongated elastic seam tape.

Disclosed are a hot melt tape for hook-and-loop fasteners without sewing which may be adhered at a low temperature and complete hardening of an adhesive resin in a short time and a method for manufacturing a seat padding material for vehicles using the same. The method includes preparing the padding material and a hook-and-loop fabric, preparing a hot melt tape having a hot melt resin layer by coating a surface of a release paper with a reactive hot melt resin having a melting point of 40-80 C. before reacting, adhering the hot melt tape to a surface of the padding material by applying heat of a temperature of 30-70 C. and pressure thereto, removing the release paper, adhering the hook-and-loop fabric to the exposed hot melt resin layer, and hardening the hot melt resin layer by cooling the padding material and the hook-and-loop fabric to a temperature of 0-20 C.

A soft toy repair device is provided as a non-toxic and pet safe recyclable patch operative to secure tears in an outermost surface layer of soft or plush toys, and pet toys in particular, via adhesion. Such patch comprises an at least partially translucent, flexible tape having backing layer and an adhesive layer, the backing layer having a top side and a bottom side, the adhesive layer applied to the bottom side of the backing layer. A soft toy repair system further comprises a release liner operative to preserve the adhesive layer, which may be a pet-safe, non-toxic and pressure sensitive rubber adhesive, until use. As configured, the patch is operative to remain in place even when subjected to pet play and rough handling.

A protective garment is disclosed that is reusable and can be relaundered over 70 times. The garment is made from a single layer barrier fabric. Any seams on the protective fabric are covered with a seam tape. The seam tape can include an adhesive layer, a cover layer, and an optional film layer positioned between the cover layer and the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer can be a crosslinkable polyester polymer.

A graphic comprises a textile material comprising one of a woven or knit textile having first and second textile surfaces in an opposing relationship and a retroreflective material having first and second surfaces in an opposing relationship. One of the first and second textile surfaces and one of the first and second surfaces are adhered to one another by a second adhesive.

The present invention relates to a urethane prepolymer having an isocyanate group, a viscosity at 100 C. of 30 to 600 dPa.Math.s, and a thermal softening temperature after moisture curing of 75 to 155 C.

Disclosed herein are monomaterial garments and seam tapes that may be recyclable and methods of producing the same.

1) Hot melt adhesive composition comprising: a) from 5% to 50% of a thermoplastic polymer (A) selected from styrene block copolymers and polyolefins; b) from 15% to 60% of a tackifying resin (B); c) from 5% to 30% of a plasticizer (C); and d) from 0.1% to 10% of a salt (D) of a hydroxylated fatty acid comprising from 8 to 24 carbon atoms. 2) Process of manufacturing a laminate, preferably a disposable nonwoven absorbent article, implementing the hot melt adhesive composition. 3) Process for cleaning the laminating device fouled by solid deposits of the hot melt adhesive composition, comprising their manual removal by the operators at room temperature.

A dry adhesive for attachment to a flexible adherend comprises a shape memory polymer having a glass transition temperature (T.sub.g) above 25 C. and a compliant backing layer attached to the shape memory polymer. The shape memory polymer is configured to form a conformal and/or hermetic contact with a flexible adherend at temperatures at or above the T.sub.g and to retain the conformal and/or hermetic contact during flexing of the flexible adherend at temperatures below the T.sub.g.

A moisture-curable hot-melt adhesive composition is disclosed. This moisture-curable hot-melt adhesive composition contains: a urethane prepolymer including a polymer chain, which includes a structural unit derived from a polyol and a structural unit derived from a polyisocyanate, and having two or more isocyanate groups; and a modified urethane prepolymer including a polymer chain, which includes a structural unit derived from a polyol and a structural unit derived from a polyisocyanate, and having one or more isocyanate groups modified with a castor oil monool.
