The invention relates to a one-part, foamable hot melt gasket sealant. The foamable hot melt adhesive comprises greater than about 35 wt % of a rubber block copolymer, a tackifier and less than about 5 wt % of a wax. The foamable hot melt adhesive can be applied onto a space in between two mating surfaces without expensive foam-in-place equipment. The foamable hot melt gasket sealant is particularly suitable in automotive applications, electrical component and technical lighting sectors.

A building material comprising a substrate layer and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, where the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer includes expandable graphite.

The present disclosure relates to a pressure sensitive adhesive foam comprising a rubber-based elastomeric material and at least one hydrocarbon tackifier, wherein the hydrocarbon tackifier(s) have a Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) value of less than 1000 ppm and a Volatile Fogging Compound (FOG) value of less than 1500 ppm, when measured by thermogravimetric analysis according to the weight loss test methods described in the experimental section. The present disclosure also relates to a method of manufacturing such a pressure sensitive adhesive foam and uses thereof.

Disclosed are powerful adhesive tapes, which rapidly coat rough and/or curved surfaces with different surface energies and thereby build up high adhesion. The adhesive joints formed in this way furthermore have good shear strength, even at elevated temperatures. Finally, enduring mechanical loading on the adhesive joints does not lead to the adhesive tape peeling from the surface. This is achieved with an adhesive tape comprising at least one foamed layer and at least one adhesive compound layer, wherein the adhesive compound layer contains at least one poly(meth)acrylate, and the poly(meth)acrylate is cross-linked with at least one covalent and at least one coordinative cross-linker.

Primer layers for adhesion of pressure sensitive adhesive materials to substrates comprise a cured primer which is the reaction product of an epoxy resin and a polyamine. The epoxy resin may be an aromatic epoxy resin. The polyamine may be a polymer such as polyethylenimine (PEI) or polyvinylamine (PVA). Two-layer constructions comprise the primer layer according to the present disclosure and a substrate layer, which may be directly bound to the primer layer. The substrate layer may comprise one or more polyester polymers, may comprise one or more polymers comprising aromatic groups, and/or may comprise polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Tapes comprise the two-layer construction according to the present disclosure and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer, which may be directly bound to the primer layer. The tape may comprise a second pressure sensitive adhesive layer borne on the opposite face of the tape and optionally a foam layer.

Provided is a composition for a self-suction adhering foam sheet that can be used to obtain a self-suction adhering foam laminate sheet that has excellent air releasability while also inhibiting formation of resin residue on metal after weathering. The composition for a self-suction adhering foam sheet contains a polymer including an unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer unit in a proportion of not less than 0.1 mass % and not more than 20 mass %, a cross-linker, and 1.5 parts by mass or more of a higher fatty acid salt per 100 parts by mass of the polymer.

An ignition-suppressing tape for sealing cut edges of polymer panels, the tape having a backing strip and a sealant strip that is disposed on a portion of a surface of the backing strip, and a pressure sensitive adhesive is disposed on other portions of the same surface of the backing strip.

The present teachings generally provide for a reinforcing patch for stiffening vehicle panels. The reinforcing patch may be fabric free (e.g., free of any reinforcing layer). The reinforcing patch may be cut into small shapes, complex shapes, or both. The stiffening material may be free of a mesh or a fabric, which may allow the reinforcing patch material to be easily produced and easily reprocessed. The reinforcing patch may include one or more reinforcing particulates in combination with one or more discontinuous fiber components to obtain stiffness comparable to traditional patches which include a mesh/fabric layer.

Disclosed is an adhesive sheet having an adhesive layer 2 on at least a part of one side or both sides of a base 1, characterized in that a protective layer 3 is provided on at least a part of the surface of the adhesive layer 2. The adhesive layer 2 is preferably an expandable adhesive layer, and the protective layer 3 is preferably a hot-melt protective layer. The protective layer 3 may contain a functional component such as an antistatic agent, a coloring agent, a hard coating agent, a lubricant, a heat dissipating material, a metal deactivator and an antioxidant. This adhesive sheet can protect an adhesion surface and does not cause blocking and skin disorders even if a release liner is not used, and is also excellent in various functions.

Provided herein are materials, methods of making materials, and methods of use, wherein the materials have switchable adhesive properties. Materials of the present disclosure can reversibly change coloration in conjunction with the changing adhesive state. The films, made from a porous polymer material, can be reversibly changed from a smooth state to a rough state, allowing for reversible and tunable gripping and/or adhesive properties.
