Adhesive tape, in particular wrapping tape for sheathing cables in automobiles, having a textile support and at least one adhesive layer applied to one side or both sides of the support, wherein the support is colored by an in particular yellow dye, characterized in that entirely or partially inorganic mineral pigments are used as the dye. In a preferred embodiment, as pigments of the mineral class of phosphates, arsenates or vanadates, clinobisvanites are used.

An acrylic emulsion pressure sensitive adhesive composition is provided. The acrylic emulsion pressure sensitive adhesive composition, due to pH-dependent properties, exhibits stable adhesion when attached to an adherend, but when it needs to be removed, it can be easily removed without residue using an alkaline solution. Thus, if the acrylic emulsion pressure sensitive adhesive composition is used as a pressure sensitive adhesive for a label of a plastic packaging article, the label can be easily removed during a recycling process, thus improving recycling efficiency.

The invention relates an adhesive tape, particularly wrapping tape for wrapping cables in automobiles, comprising a textile carrier, and an adhesive coating on at least one face of the carrier, characterized in that the textile carrier is produced, at least to some extent, from bio-based polymers.

Provided is a flame-retardant foam which has high flame retardancy, is excellent in flexibility, and is excellent in stress dispersibility. Also provided is a foam member including such flame-retardant foam as a flame-retardant foam layer. The flame-retardant foam of the present invention has an apparent density of from 0.02 g/cm.sup.3 to 0.40 g/cm.sup.3, a 50% compression load of from 0.5 N/cm.sup.2 to 8.0 N/cm.sup.2, and a rupture elongation in a tensile test of 120% or less.

A laminated film exhibits a certain adhesive property to various adherends having shapes or different irregularity shapes. The laminated film includes a resin layer A on one surface of a substrate and a resin layer B on the other surface. The resin layer A has a ten-point average surface roughness Rz(a) of 1.5 μm or more and 5.0 μm or less and a storage elastic modulus G′ at 25° C. and 1 Hz of 3.0×10.sup.5 Pa or more.

Disclosed are hot-melt, curl-free methods, structures, and compositions, which in flexible packaging applications, reduce mineral-oil, hydrocarbon migration into packaged food. One embodiment provides an optionally oriented base film having a first side and a second side that is a transparent or opaque film. Further, the composition comprises, consists essentially of, or consists of a water-based primer applied to the first side. Further still, the composition includes a barrier layer to mineral-oil migration, wherein the barrier layer is located between the adhesive-receptive layer and the polymeric substrate, and wherein the barrier layer consists essentially of: (i) polymers of polyvinyl alcohol, ethylene vinyl alcohol, polyester, polyamide, or combinations thereof; and (ii) optionally additives. The barrier layer provides a barrier to mineral-oil migration of 0.1 μg/day*dm.sup.2 or less at 40° C. for 40 days, and the curl-resistant composition does not curl when heated for at least one hour at 60° C.

The invention relates to an adhesive-coated polymer substrate comprising (a) a polymer substrate containing or consisting of a thermoplastic polymer with a Vicat A50 softening point according to DIN EN ISO 306 of up to 220° C., and (b) an adhesive composition coated directly on at least one side of the polymer substrate, wherein the adhesive composition (b) is a UV-curable or UV-cured hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA). The invention relates moreover to a process for the manufacture of the adhesive-coated polymer substrate as well as to the use thereof.

Layers of siloxane tackifying resins that do not contain siloxane fluids, gums or polymers act as adhesion promotion agents. Articles include a substrate layer, a non-tacky siloxane tackifying resin adhesion promotion layer disposed on the surface of the substrate layer, and a crosslinked siloxane layer in contact with the adhesion promotion layer. The crosslinked siloxane layer is not an adhesive layer. The adhesion of the crosslinked siloxane layer to the substrate is greater than the adhesion without the non-tacky siloxane tackifying adhesion promotion layer.

A skin-adhesive item is described that can include a substrate F coated continuously or discontinuously on at least one of the two faces thereof by a pressure-sensitive silicone adhesive Z that has been previously sterilized by means of gamma radiation and demonstrates good tack on the skin even after sterilization.

A masking film includes an adhesion layer that includes a blend of hydrogenated styrene block copolymer and low density polyethylene. The adhesion layer has an outer adhesion surface configured to contact a substrate. The outer adhesion surface has an average surface roughness Ra of between 100 nm and 350 nm, and an average spacing between peaks Sm of between 20 μm and 150 μm. The masking film also includes a release layer on a side of the adhesion layer opposite the outer adhesion surface.
