wherein the percentage of primary amines in the polymer is from 30 mole % to 100 mole % based on the total percentage of mer units in the polymer.

Provided is a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) sheet having a low relative dielectric constant, satisfactory metal corrosion preventing property, and excellent member holding performance. The present invention provides a PSA sheet having a PSA layer including a base polymer and a rust inhibitor. The base polymer is an acrylic polymer, and monomeric components constituting the acrylic polymer comprise a (meth)acrylate having an alkyl group having 5 or more carbon atoms at an ester end at 50% by weight or more of the monomeric components. The PSA layer has a relative dielectric constant of 3 or less at 300 kHz.

Provided is a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) sheet including a PSA layer formed from a PSA composition including a base polymer, crosslinking agents of two or more species having mutually different types of crosslinkable functional groups, and an azole-based rust inhibitor. Here, one of the crosslinking agents of two or more species is an isocyanate-based crosslinking agent. Monomeric components constituting the base polymer include a carboxy group-containing monomer. The amount of the azole-based rust inhibitor in the PSA layer is less than 8 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the base polymer.

Disclosed are sulfur-containing molybdenum complexes used in compositions and methods for inhibiting or reducing the deposition of foulant on equipment.

A method for prolonging operation intervals between maintenance disruptions in the production of a chemical reaction product, comprising directing at least one reactant stream into a reactor; reacting the reactant(s) in the reactor at elevated temperature and pressure, whereby the chemical reaction product is obtained; withdrawing a stream of a hot chemical reaction product from the reactor; and heat-exchanging the stream of hot chemical reaction product with at least one of the reactant streams; wherein heat-exchanging is performed in at least two shell-and-tube heat exchangers; each of the heat exchangers comprising a plurality of tubes and a shell-side heat exchange passage; wherein the hot chemical reaction product is directed through the tubes of the heat exchangers; and the reactant is guided through the shell-side passage, and at least two of the heat exchangers are connected in series with regard to both the shell-side flow and the tube-side flow. By using two or more heat exchangers, the impact of fouling in individual tubes on the overall heat exchange capacity is reduced in comparison to arrangements where only a single heat exchanger is used.
