The present invention also relates to corrugated paperboards and cardboards comprising said starch-based adhesive composition comprising microfibrillated cellulose and said chemically treated paper.

Silicon-based protective film for adhesive or self-adhesive elements, characterized in that said protective film is based on silicone and has a level of extractible silicone less than or equal to 100 ng/cm.sup.2, preferably less than or equal to 50, preferably less than or equal to 20 ng/cm.sup.2, and even more preferably less than 10 ng/cm.sup.2, the method of production thereof and uses thereof.

A polymeric tape comprises a facestock extending lengthwise, the facestock including a polymer. An adhesive layer is on a first surface of the facestock. Tear-cuts are formed into at least one longitudinal edge of the facestock and extending inwardly, the tear-cuts being provided all along the at least one longitudinal edge of the facestock.

A joining film having sufficient connection heat resistance and high reliability, for which a joining process of joining a semiconductor element and a substrate is simple and easy, a tape for wafer processing, a method for producing a joined body, and a joined body. A joining film for joining a semiconductor element and a substrate includes an electroconductive joining layer formed by molding an electroconductive paste containing metal fine particles (P) into a film form; and a tack layer having tackiness and being laminated with the electroconductive joining layer. The tack layer is thermally decomposed by heating at the time of joining, the metal fine particles (P) of the electroconductive joining layer 13a are sintered, and thereby the semiconductor element and the substrate are joined.

A roofing system includes a roofing membrane. The roofing membrane has a surface energy of 40 mN/m or less. The roofing system includes a roofing substrate. The roofing system includes an adhesive disposed between the roofing membrane and the roofing substrate. The adhesive includes a styrenic block copolymer. The styrenic block copolymer is present in an amount of 0.5 wt. % to 30 wt. % based on a total weight of the adhesive. The adhesive includes asphalt. The asphalt is present in an amount of 70 wt. % to 99.5 wt. % based on the total weight of the adhesive. A ratio of the styrenic block copolymer to the asphalt in the adhesive is 1:11 to 1:3.

A polymeric tape comprises a facestock extending lengthwise, the facestock including a polymer. An adhesive layer is on a first surface of the facestock. Tear-cuts are formed into at least one longitudinal edge of the facestock and extending inwardly, the tear-cuts being provided all along the at least one longitudinal edge of the facestock.

A breast tape for supporting and lifting breasts and a method of applying the same are provided. The breast tape includes a body of lace, an adhesive applied to one surface of the lace, and a segmented protective material overlaying the adhesive. The breast tape supports and lifts the breasts by molding thereto and is attractive, easy to apply, has a smooth appearance, does not lose adhesiveness with ongoing wear, is breathable, comfortable and does not require heat activation or a lengthy gripping time. The method includes removing a first segment of protective material attached to a base of the breast tape and applying the base to a bottom of the breast, removing a second segment of the protective material, lifting the breast tape to achieve a desired support and lift, and applying the remainder of the breast tape to the skin and molding to the skin.

Adhesive articles include a substrate; and a hot melt processable pressure sensitive adhesive on the substrate. The hot melt processable pressure sensitive adhesive is a (meth)acrylate-based copolymer that is the reaction product of a reaction mixture that is free of acidic or basic monomers, and includes an alkyl (meth)acrylate, a hydroxyl-functional (meth)acrylate, and a photocrosslinker. The (meth)acrylate-based polymer is prepared in a thermoplastic package.

A rug tab is provided. The rug tab can include a support material, having an upper side and a lower side; an upper adhesive layer applied on the upper side of the support material; and a lower adhesive layer applied on the lower side of the support material. The rug tab can be designed such that (i) an upper adhesive layer sheer force is at least 25% greater than a lower adhesive layer sheer force, (ii) an upper adhesive layer peel force is at least twice a lower adhesive layer peel force, or (iii) both options (i) and (ii), where the force values are measured one hour after application of a respective upper or lower adhesive layer to a target surface. A method of stabilizing a rug and a kit for stabilizing a rug using the rug tabs are also provided.

The invention is directed to hot melt adhesive compositions that can be formulated to include a large percentage of bio-based components.

The hot melt adhesive composition includes both liquid bio-based tackifying agent and solid bio-based tackifying agent and can further include bio-based polymers and bio-based plasticizers.
