An improved one part moisture curable composition is comprised of an isocyanate functional prepolymer, a cyclic silane, a filler and a catalyst. The adhesive composition is particularly useful for adhering sag bent and press bent glasses having fits applied to the periphery of the glass such as used in vehicle windshields.

A labeling system for use with containers, comprising at least one linerless label, wherein the at least one linerless label is adapted to receive printing thereon; a substrate for receiving the label and to which the label becomes permanently bound after the label has been attached to the substrate; a first adhesive, wherein the first adhesive is a repositionable adhesive; a second adhesive, wherein the second adhesive is a remoistenable adhesive that includes predetermined amounts of polyvinyl alcohol, dextrin, and at least one humectant, and wherein the adhesives are deposited on the label prior to attaching the label to the substrate.

A method for bonding of a sealing element to a substrate using a cementitious adhesive composition having at least one synthetic organic polymer and at least one hydraulic binder. The invention also relates to a sealed structure and to use of a wet cementitious adhesive composition for bonding of a sealing element to a surface of a substrate.

A fluid activatable adhesive for a liner-free label and methods of using are described. Preferably, the adhesive composition includes a polymer, such as an emulsion polymer formed from monomers selected from the group consisting of butyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, methyl acrylate, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS), a salt of AMPS, such as its sodium salt, styrene, and combinations thereof. The adhesive composition adheres to the liner-free label to the surface of a substrate that is at room temperature, at room temperature and wet, cold, or cold and wet. In preferred embodiments, the substrate is glass or plastic, such as polyethylene terephthalate.

A method for recycling materials having an affixed label is disclosed. The present invention also includes labels and adhesives that is readily removable from a material during a process for recycling the material.

Water-soluble triazabutadiene molecules and methods for producing and using such compounds. The triazabutadiene molecules may be more labile at pH levels below physiological pH, such as pH 7, pH 6, pH 5, etc. The triazabutadiene molecules and compounds may be used for depositing diazonium salt and/or cargo in a pH-sensitive manner. The triazabutadiene molecules may alternatively be cleaved in reducing conditions or as a light-catalyzed reaction. The compounds herein may be used for delivery of drugs, as part of detection systems, or for other applications such as underwater adhesive applications.

The present subject matter provides an adhesive article having a release agent or liner that is free of silicon-containing and fluorine-containing material, and related methods of adhering a backing material of the adhesive article to a substrate. The adhesive article utilizes an amorphous polyvinyl alcohol layer that facilitates removal of an optional release liner from an adhesive layer. Upon removal of the release liner, the amorphous polyvinyl alcohol layer remains disposed on the adhesive layer. A method of adhering the backing material to a substrate includes dissolving the amorphous polyvinyl alcohol layer and disposing the backing material to a substrate. During dissolution of the amorphous polyvinyl alcohol layer, a weak, temporary bond is formed between the substrate and the backing material. When the amorphous polyvinyl alcohol layer substantially dissolves and dries, the adhesive layer is exposed and forms a permanent bond with the substrate.

A joint tape to be applied to wallboard is provided and includes a base substrate having opposing sides. In certain embodiments, a first adhesive layer is applied to one of the sides of the base substrate and a second adhesive layer is applied to the first adhesive layer, where the first adhesive layer is different than the second adhesive layer. In certain other embodiments, two different adhesives are used in a single adhesive layer. In use, the joint tape is positioned over and removably secured to a joint or corner between adjacent wallboard panels using the first adhesive layer. After the joint tape is in position, joint compound is applied to the joint tape, and the water in the joint tape activates it to form a secure bond with the wallboard panels.
