Abstract:

A method for the preparation of gel-free poly 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate substantially in the absence of a chain transfer agent, comprising introducing monomeric 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate containing ethylene glycol dimethacrylate impurities in the range of about 0. 05 to 0. 1% by weight into alcohol, polymerizing the 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate to form a polymerization mixture, and removing the alcohol. Hydrophilic pressure sensitive adhesives are provided by adding polyethylene glycol to the polymerization mixture prior to removing the alcohol. A method for the preparation of an acrylic emulsion ink jet receptive clear coating, comprising forming a alkyl acrylate monomer-containing pre-emulsion feed mixture, introducing an activator into the alkyl acrylate monomer-containing pre-emulsion feed mixture, reacting a water soluble monomer feed in the alkyl acrylate monomer-containing pre-emulsion feed mixture, the water soluble monomer feed comprising 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and a cationic monomer to form a clear polymer in the reaction mixture. In another embodiment, the clear polymer in the butyl acrylate-containing pre-emulsion feed mixture is subsequently reacted with a water insoluble monomer feed mixture comprising 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, n-vinyl pyrrolidone, butyl acrylate, and methacrylic acid to form a second clear polymer in addition to the clear polymer in the alkyl acrylate monomer containing pre-emulsion feed mixture.

International Classification:

B05D 5/10
C08L 7/02

US Classification:

4272086, 524502

Abstract:

A process for making an ultra high solids emulsion adhesive that is coatable and dryable at room temperature. The process consists of increasing solids using a phase inversion process to accomplish the addition of increased solids into aqueous formulations thereby obtaining emulsion pressure sensitive adhesives with solids content in excess of 60%.

Abstract:

PSA Label Rolls using spent liners and a novel continuous process to convert a stack of face material into a roll of label stock by affixing adhesive coated face material onto a liner. Provides a process to recycle waste liner from conventional roll label stock application machines. Uses an ultra-high solids adhesive that needs no drying. Roll label stock made by such a process provides large cost savings and beneficial environmental impact.

International Classification:

US Classification:

426 4, 426 3

Abstract:

A non-stick chewing gum is disclosed. More specifically, a gum base is mixed with at least one pulverized natural food product that increases removability of the gum cud without sacrificing chewing sensation. In one embodiment, the particle size of the pulverized natural products containing fiber and other components (e.g. beans, fruit, nuts, vegetables, spices, ginseng, etc.) can range from 10 to 2000 microns in dimension before the chewing gum is chewed. The particles of the natural products can generate steric hindrance between the gum base and a contacted surface to reduce interfacial contact area therebetween and further enhance detackification effect of the chewing gum.
