Provided is a coating material for forming a conductive release layer capable of forming a conductive release layer having high adhesion to a film base material, suppressing deterioration in conductivity over time in the air, and having a sufficient releasing property. The coating material for forming a conductive release layer of the present invention contains a conductive composite including a -conjugated conductive polymer and a polyanion, an epoxy compound having an epoxy group, a curable silicone, a polyester resin, and an organic solvent.

A label assembly including one or more dissolvable thermal direct adhesive labels and methods of assembly and use. According to one embodiment, each label includes a base layer, a thermal direct layer, an adhesive layer, and a barrier layer. The base layer, which has an upper surface and a lower surface, is water-dissolvable and may be made of a water-dissolvable paper. The thermal direct layer is positioned directly over the upper surface of the base layer and functions in the conventional manner to produce markings therein in response to heat. The adhesive layer is water-dissolvable and is positioned below the lower surface of the base layer. The barrier layer, which is positioned directly below the lower surface of the base layer and directly over the adhesive layer, serves to prevent migration of the adhesive layer through the base layer and into contact with the thermal direct layer.

A method of configuring tape for securement to a substrate. The tape has a face ply comprising an upper side and a lower side. The method comprises formulating a liner coating by: (a) creating a mixture comprising a non-toxic remoistenable adhesive and activated coconut carbon filtered water; and (b) adding gypsum to the mixture. The method comprises situating an adhesive on the lower side and covering the hot-melt adhesive on the lower side with the liner coating. The method includes using moisture to dispel the liner coating before the tape is applied to the substrate.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a surface protection film which provides an excellent writing sensation when a touch pen is used thereon and excellent scratch resistance against a touch pen. As a solution, provided is a surface protection film which has on the outermost surface thereof a protection layer formed of a polyurethane, wherein the polyurethane has an international rubber hardness degree (IRHD) of 87.0-98.0 and a tan peak value of 0.6 or more.

The present specification relates to a polarizing plate comprising a polarizer; a protective layer directly formed on one surface of the polarizer; and an adhesive layer and a protective film consecutively provided on a surface of the polarizer on which the protective layer is not formed, wherein the adhesive layer is a resin layer comprising an active energy ray-curable composition comprising a first epoxy compound (A) comprising one or more alicyclic epoxy rings, and, with respect to 100 parts by weight of the first epoxy compound (A), a second epoxy compound (B) comprising one or more glycidyl ether groups in 110 parts by weight to 500 parts by weight and an oxetane compound (C) in 5 parts by weight to 85 parts by weight, or a cured material thereof, an image display device comprising the same, and an adhesive composition for a polarizing plate.

The present disclosure is directed to a foam tape product that does not require a release paper or other release material to prevent sticking on or within itself upon rolling. A method of manufacturing the foam tape product and kit are also provided.

The present application is directed to an adhesive tape comprising: i) a first release liner; and, ii) a pressure sensitive adhesive layer disposed on said first release liner, wherein said pressure sensitive adhesive layer is obtained by curing an adhesive composition comprising: a) an acrylic base copolymer obtained from a monomer mixture comprising at least one C1-C12 alkyl ester of (meth)acrylic acid and at least one acid monomer selected from acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid and itaconic acid; b) a metal chelate cross-linking agent; c) at least one tackifying resin; d) an organic solvent; and, optionally e) additives. The adhesive tape optionally comprises iii) a second release liner which is disposed on that side of said pressure sensitive adhesive layer opposite to said first release liner.

A biodegradable cellulose fiber-based substrate, at least one side of which is coated with a release coating including: a) at least one water-soluble polymer (WSP) containing hydroxyl groups, and b) at least one lactone substituted with at least one linear or branched and/or cyclic C.sub.8-C.sub.30 hydrocarbon chain which may contain heteroatoms. The biodegradable substrate is certified biodegradable in accordance with EN 13432. A method of production thereof is also disclosed.

Compositions comprising complexes of 1-methylcyclopropene and -cyclodextrin, and articles including the composition, are provided. Methods for using the compositions and articles in delaying the maturation of fruits, vegetables, and plants are also provided.

A silsesquixane polymer, a composition including such silsesquixane polymer, and an article including such polymer or composition, wherein the composition includes a silsesquioxane polymer and a free siloxane; wherein the silsesquioxane polymer includes a three-dimensional network of Formula (I): wherein: each R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 is independently a (C1-C4)alkyl; each L.sup.1 is independently a single bond, an alkylene, or an alkylene bonded to a group selected from oxy, thio, carbonyl, NH, and combinations thereof; each R.sup.3 is independently a linear (C14-C100)alkyl; with the proviso that L.sup.1 is selected such that each Si atom is directly bonded to an alkylene or an alkyl; m is an integer of at least 2; n is an integer of at least 1; m+n is an integer of at least 10; each oxygen atom at an asterisk (*) is bonded to another Si atom within the three-dimensional network; and the silsesquioxane polymer is a solid at 25 C.
