A pavement marking article that has an adhesive composition for adhering the article to a pavement substrate, where the adhesive composition includes a reaction product of an acrylic acid ester of a monohydric alcohol whose homopolymer has a Tg less than 0&#xb0; C., a non-polar ethylenically unsaturated monomer, and 0-10 parts by weight of a polar ethylenically unsaturated monomer. Preferably the amount of the acrylic acid ester is about 60-90 parts by weight, and the amount of the non-polar ethylenically unsaturated monomer is about 10-40 parts by weight. Also, a raised pavement marker that comprises: Raised pavement markers that use a pressure sensitive adhesive meeting parameters (i)-(iii) can demonstrate good adhesion to roadways and are capable of withstanding repeated impacts from motor vehicle tires.

Pavement marking article and raised pavement marker that uses pressure sensitive adhesive

Pavement marking material comprising a top layer, an optional base sheet, and a layer of adhesive, wherein the adhesive comprises a rubber and a high loading of tackifier. Such adhesives have been found to exhibit exceptional impact shear resistance.

Pavement marking material

Retroreflective articles for life saving devices at sea are described comprising a layer of a pressure-sensitive adhesive made using a solvent-free hot melt process which employs as starting material a tackified non-thermoplastic hydrocarbon elastomer. The process employs a continuous compounding device that has a sequence of alternating conveying and processing zones.
