Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090077921Structural attachment media - A structural adhesive tape includes a closed cell silicone foam support and a structural adhesive composition on opposing sides of the closed cell silicone foam support. The structural adhesive composition may be a condensation reaction curable pressure sensitive adhesive composition. The structural adhesive tape is useful in structural glazing applications, such as curtain wall applications.03-26-2009
20090294023Pressure sensitive adhesives and methods for their preparation - A pressure sensitive adhesive composition includes (A) a bodied MQ resin containing (i) a resinous core and (ii) a nonresinous polyorganosiloxane group, where the nonresinous polyorganosiloxane group is terminated with a silicon-bonded hydroxyl group; (B) a treated MQ resin, where (B)/(A) ratio has a value of 0.3 to 5.0, and (C) a polydiorganosiloxane terminated with a condensation reactable group; where resin/polymer ratio has a value of 2.0 to 3.0; optionally (D) a crosslinker; optionally (E) a catalyst; and optionally (F) a solvent. A pressure sensitive adhesive product prepared by curing the pressure sensitive adhesive composition is useful in structural attachment applications such as structural glazing applications.12-03-2009
20110104506Hot Melt Adhesive Compositions And Methods For Their Preparation and Use - A hot melt adhesive composition can be used to laminate substrates together in construction industry and industrial maintenance and assembly applications. The hot melt adhesive composition is sprayable to form a thin layer (1 to 200 microns in thickness) on a substrate. The hot melt adhesive can cure by exposure to moisture or harden by cooling, or a combination thereof.05-05-2011
