An adhesive agent for high-frequency dielectric heating at least contains a thermoplastic resin and a dielectric filler that generates heat upon application of a high-frequency electric field. The thermoplastic resin at least contains a first thermoplastic resin and a second thermoplastic resin. The thermoplastic resin is a silane-modified thermoplastic resin. The second thermoplastic resin is a thermoplastic resin that is not silane-modified.

A reworkable optically clear adhesive composition, a method for adjoining a light source to a light guide plate by applying a reworkable optically clear adhesive composition to the light guide plate, and a lighting device comprising a light source, a light guide plate and a reworkable optically clear adhesive film are described. The reworkable optically clear adhesive composition has a processing temperature of between about 50° C. and about 80° C. and comprises: from about 15 wt. % to about 40 wt. % hot melt adhesive; from about 20 wt. % to about 60 wt. % optical resin; and from about 10 wt. % to about 40 wt. % UV adhesive, wherein the weight percentage of each component is based on the total weight of the reworkable optically clear adhesive composition.

The sprayable olefin-based hot melt adhesive and absorbent articles comprising the adhesive are disclosed. The sprayable olefin-based hot melt adhesive is particularly suitable for spraying at low application temperatures. The sprayable low application temperature hot melt adhesives have high green strength, excellent bond strength and aging performance. Moreover, the sprayable low application temperature hot melt adhesives allows for thin bond lines without bleed-through and burn-through risks for heat-sensitive substrates.

The present disclosure provides a fabric laminate. In an embodiment, the fabric laminate includes a fabric sheet, a coating layer, and a tie layer. The fabric sheet is composed of propylene-based polymer fibers. The coating layer is composed of one or more ethylene-based polymers. The tie layer is located between the fabric sheet and the coating layer. The tie layer is composed of at least 50 wt % of a crystalline block composite (CBC) and an optional blend component. The CBC includes (i) an isotactic crystalline propylene homopolymer (iPP); (ii) an ethylene/propylene copolymer; and (iii) a diblock with the formula (EP)-(iPP). The CBC has a block composite index (CBCI) from 0.1 to 1.0. The fabric laminate has a peel force from 20 N/15 mm to 40 N/15 mm.

A process of heat shrinking an article is provided. The process includes shaping a thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) into an article, the TPV having: a partially vulcanized rubber dispersed in a continuous thermoplastic phase, wherein more than 5 wt % of the rubber is extractable in boiling xylene, and wherein the thermoplastic phase comprises a thermoplastic resin having a Tm>110° C. and a propylene-based elastomer (PBE) having a Tm<110° C.; and heating the article to a temperature between about 100° C. and 250° C. to shrink the article.
