The invention provides an assembly for fuel cell which has an excellent adhesive force in the presence of hot water, and a laminated body which is used for the assembly for fuel cell. The assembly for fuel cell comprises an adhesive resin layer containing a polyolefin having at least one group selected from the group consisting of an acidic group and an acid anhydride group and having an acid value of 0.01 mgKOH/g to 6.5 mgKOH/g; and two or more members bonded with the adhesive resin layer interposed therebetween, wherein at least one of the members is a metal member having a ratio of a dipole term in surface free energy of 0.01% to 5.0%.

A pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet 1 includes a plastic substrate 2, an adhesion-facilitating layer 3, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 in the order in which they appear toward one side in a thickness direction. The adhesion-facilitating layer 3 includes an adhesive composition containing a polyester component and an oxazoline component. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 contains a water-dispersible polymer.

The aim of the invention is to provide polyester/primer/metallic coating composite films having good adherence of the metallic coating in dry and humid conditions. Said films also form a good gas barrier: oxygen permeability less than or equal to 0.8 cc/m2/d; water vapour permeability less than or equal to 0.3 g/m2/d. To this end, the invention concerns a composite film comprising a polyester substrate, at least one coating adhering on at least one of the faces of the substrate and at least one layer of primer for cross-linked adhesion between the substrate and the coating. Said primer comprises at least one acrylic and/or methacrylic polymer P1, at least one acrylic and/or methacrylic polymer P2 different from P1, at least one cross-linking agent, and, preferably, at least one polyester that is soluble or dispersible in water: —P1 having a gel content TG1>70% by dry weight with respect to P1; —P2 having a gel content TG2≤TG1 and ≤20% by dry weight, with respect to P2; —P1 having a surface-grafted free weak acid content≥0.8 in meq/g of polymer; —[P2]≤60% by weight on dry by weight in respect to P1+P2. The method for producing said film, the adhering primer, and the articles obtained using said film, also form part of the present invention.

The present disclosure relates to transparent flame-retardant coating compositions and labels including layers comprising the same. The coating composition comprises a high-hydroxyl value polymer, a crosslinker, and a flame-retardant additive comprising a phosphinate compound. The coating composition may be coated on a substrate such as a label. The coating composition forms a layer that advantageously has flame-retardant properties and is optically clear.

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.
