Provided is a method for peeling a PSA sheet adhered on a polarizing plate. The PSA sheet has a PSA layer. The PSA layer includes a layer A forming at least one surface of the PSA layer. Of the polarizing plate, the surface to which the PSA sheet is adhered is corona-treated or plasma-treated. The peeling method includes a water-peel step in which the PSA sheet is peeled from the polarizing plate, in a state where an aqueous liquid exits at the interface between the polarizing plate and the PSA sheet at the front line of peeling the PSA sheet from the polarizing plate, with the aqueous liquid allowed to further enter the interface following the movement of the peel front line.

A peel off assembly for exposing a safety feature comprising an aversive agent for a battery includes a first adhesive layer adhered to a base layer. Optionally, a layer comprising a colorant is disposed over and coupled to the first adhesive layer. A layer comprising a water-soluble material and an aversive agent is disposed over and coupled to the first adhesive layer. A second adhesive layer is disposed over and coupled to the layer comprising a water-soluble material. A kill strip layer is disposed between the second adhesive layer and the base layer. Optionally, a label is disposed over and coupled to the second adhesive layer. The second adhesive layer is adapted and arranged to release from the layer comprising the water-soluble material, when a peel force is applied such that the second adhesive layer and the kill strip layer are removable from the layer comprising a water-soluble material when the peel force is applied to the second adhesive layer.

A composite flock material including a base layer comprising a hot melt adhesive, an elastic adhesive layer disposed on a top surface of the hot melt adhesive, and a plurality of flock fibers potted into the elastic adhesive layer is disclosed. The composite flock material is stretchable up to 20% from an initial unstretched length while maintaining the structural integrity of the composite flock material. Methods of producing a composite flock material are also disclosed.

A multilayer tape is provided. A method of masking a surface is also provided. The multilayer tape includes an inner layer, at least one middle layer, and an outer carrier layer. The inner layer has a pair of parallel adhesive strips demarking an inner gap having a predetermined width. The middle layer is adhered to the inner layer and has a pair of parallel adhesive strips demarking a middle gap narrower than the inner gap. The outer carrier layer is adhered to the middle layer. The method includes applying a multilayer tape system to a surface and removing the outer carrier layer to expose a preselected gap width. The multilayer tape system includes an inner layer, at least one middle layer, and an outer carrier layer.

With present invention, as disclosed in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/350,647 filed on Jun. 9, 2022, we describe a new tempered glass for touch and non-touch screens. Unlike existing protecting films, our development offers increased flexibility, reusability, and an easier application process. The advantages described above result in the reduction of the tedious work associated with the installation of a screen protector. Thus, allowing the users of the electronic devices the opportunity to install them themselves without the help of third parties. Our newly developed film includes a protective film, a tempered glass screen protector with electroplating AF coating, an adhesive layer, and a release liner. It also includes specially made stickers to clean the surface before application and the adhesive layer of the protector for re-application. The proposed protector can also be cleaned using regular soap, water, paper, or a towel cloth to remove dust and be re-utilized.

Various opacifying adhesive compositions are described. The adhesives exhibit relatively high levels of opacity in wet conditions while maintaining acceptable adhesive properties. Also described are label assemblies and labeled containers using such adhesives. Related methods of use and preparation are also described.

An organic electronic device including a substrate, an organic electronic element formed on the substrate, and an encapsulation film encapsulating the organic electronic element. The organic electronic element includes a transparent electrode formed on the substrate, and a light emitting organic material layer formed on the transparent electrode. The light emitting organic material layer includes a hole transport layer, an emitting layer and an electron transport layer. The encapsulation film includes a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer includes a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition or a crosslinked product thereof. The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition includes a polymer derived from butylene, and has a Mooney viscosity (η*) of 5000 Pa.Math.s to 10.sup.7 Pa.Math.s measured by a shear stress using a planar jig having a diameter of 8 mm at a strain of 5%, a frequency of 1 Hz and any one temperature point in the range of 30° C. to 150° C.

Provided are curable precursor compositions for pressure-sensitive adhesives and related articles, assemblies and methods. The provided compositions contain an alkyl (meth)acrylate, a hollow non-porous particulate filler, and a surface-modifying agent comprising a hydrophobic alkoxy silane or hydrophobic organofunctional polysiloxane. These compositions and methods enable in situ functionalization of the filler particles during or after the time they are combined with the curable resin components, thereby allowing pressure-sensitive adhesive materials to be made faster and more efficiently than when using conventional manufacturing methods.
