To provide an adhesive tape that is difficult to deform, can suppress stickiness on the sides, and can reduce the emission of greenhouse gases while meeting the required characteristics of adhesive tape, such as adhesive strength and holding force, the present invention use an adhesive tape including a base material, which is a laminate with a backside layer formed on one side of a base fabric by lamination processing; and an adhesive layer disposed on the opposite side of the base material from the backside layer, wherein the backside layer includes a thermoplastic resin including polyolefin and the adhesive layer includes natural rubber, a wood-based filler, a plant-derived plasticizer and a tackifier.

A polymer composition is disclosed which composition includes at least a first polymer and a second polymer. The first polymer is made up of at least 10 mole percent repeat units of (3-hydroxypropionate). The second polymer is made up of a poly(hydroxyalkanoate) which does not include repeat units of (3-hydroxypropionate). A method for making the first polymer is also disclosed.

A di(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate composition is provided. The di(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate composition comprises di(2-ethylhexyl)terephthalate, at least one of a first component, a second component and a third component, and a fourth component When the di(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate composition is characterized by gas chromatography (GC), the first component is eluted at a retention time ranging from 4.8 minutes to 6.0 minutes, the second component is eluted at a retention time ranging from 9.0 minutes to 10.0 minutes, the third component is eluted at a retention time ranging from 10.1 minutes to 12.0 minutes, and the fourth component is eluted at a retention time ranging from 21.0 minutes to 22.1 minutes. The ratio of the total area of the chromatographic peaks indicating the first component, second component, and third component to the area of the chromatographic peaks indicating the fourth component is 0.135 to 1.720.

The invention provides shape-stable products for storing and releasing thermal energy, based on thermoplastic polymer compositions containing organic phase change materials (PCM) incorporated into a polymer matrix, the products withstanding multiple melting-crystallization cycles of the PCM while maintaining their shape, dimensions, and the thermal energy storage capacity.
