Removable Jewelry Stability Apparatus
A removable apparatus prevents movement of jewelry when worn by a user. The removable apparatus has a length of material having a first surface located opposite a second surface. The length of material has an adhesive layer connected to the first surface of the length of material. The adhesive layer is configured to connect to an inner wall surface of a piece of jewelry. At least a portion of the removable apparatus is configured to contact a user when being worn by a user. The removable apparatus can have a plurality of slits or a plurality of perforations traversing the removable apparatus to circulate air flow between a user and the piece of jewelry. The removable apparatus can have a layer of moisturizer connected to the second surface of the length of material and may have a protruding structure extending from the second surface of the length of material.
Pressure sensitive adhesives based on fatty acids
A method for making a pressure sensitive adhesive comprising: (a) making at least one epoxidized fatty acid from at least one plant oil, marine oil, other ester of unsaturated fatty acid, or a mixture thereof; and (b) polymerizing the at least one epoxidized fatty acid to produce a pressure sensitive adhesive. A method for making a pressure sensitive adhesive comprising: (a) making epoxidized oleic acid, an epoxidized linoleic acid (including fully and partially epoxidized linoleic acid), or an epoxidized linolenic acid (including fully and partially epoxidized linolenic acid) from at least one plant oil, marine oil, other ester of unsaturated fatty acid, or making mixture thereof; and (b) polymerizing the epoxidized oleic acid, the epoxidized linoleic acid, the epoxidized linolenic acid, or the mixture thereof to produce a pressure sensitive adhesive.
