Provided are adhesive articles that include a silicone adhesive and a substrate, with a primer layer interposed between the silicone adhesive and the substrate. The primer layer includes a polymer having a polyorganosiloxane pendant group P represented by the formula (I) where each R.sup.1 is independently an alkyl, haloalkyl, arylalkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or aryl substituted with an alkyl, alkoxy, or halo; R2 is an alkyl or an alkenyl group; R3 is an alkylene or an arylalkylene group; and n is an integer in the range of 1 to 20. The primer layer typically improves the adhesion between the silicone adhesive and a wide variety of substrates. ##STR00001##

Described herein is a protection film comprising a polyolefin carrier material, a precoating of the polyolefin carrier material with a primer selected from polyurethane dispersions and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of a radiation-crosslinked hotmelt adhesive. A process for producing such protection films is also described.

In the present invention, there is provided a laminate having a substrate, a primer layer, and an adhesive layer, in which the primer layer is formed from a resin composition comprising an urethane resin (A) having a glass transition temperature of 0 C. or less and water, and in which the adhesive layer is formed from a moisture-curable polyurethane hot-melt resin composition. Further, in the invention, a sash having a decorative sheet on the adhesive layer of the laminate is provided. The urethane resin (A) preferably uses a polyester polyol as a raw material. The substrate is preferably polyvinyl chloride. The laminate of the invention has excellent adhesive strength.

An embodiment of the invention relates to a water-based print-receptive coating comprising a polyurethane. The print-receptive coating contains water, a binder and a crosslinker. The print receptive coating is in-line coated onto a print receptive skin of a polymeric substrate film at a stretch rate of 1-10 times in the transverse direction and is print-receptive to solvent, waterborne and UV/LED-curable inks. The print-receptive coated film has a haze change, measured according to ASTM D1003, before exposure to boiling water for 10 minutes and after exposure to boiling water for 10 minutes, of 3% or less

A curable composition and substrate having adhered thereto a cured material formed from such compositions is shown and described herein. The curable composition comprises a curable resin and a nitrile silane. The inclusion of the nitrile silane in the curable composition has been found to enhance adhesion of curable compositions to substrates including to substrates that can be difficult to adhere to such as, for example, polymeric substrates and those that include zinc or zinc alloys.
