What is disclosed are novel hot melt adhesives having pressure sensitive properties that are comprised of a combination of two acrylic-based copolymers containing the novel monomer 1(2)-methyl-3-oxa-4-oxo-5-aza-nonyl methacrylate, one of the copolymers being a low glass transition temperature (Tg) compolymer and the other a high Tg copolymer and which hot melt adhesives, by means of reversible hydrogen bond formation and dissociation, possess the reversible properties of providing a strong cohesive strength at ambient temperature but also having a melt viscosity at elevated coating temperatures such that it can be used in hot melt coating equipment; a process for making said hot melt adhesives; and a process for making adhesive tapes and bandages using said adhesives.

Hot melt pressure sensitive adhesives

Novel acrylate, hot melt, pressure-sensitive adhesives are disclosed which are polymerized compositions of:

N-vinyl caprolactam-containing hot melt adhesives

High molecular weight, colorless polyesters suitable for shaping into filaments and films are obtained using novel catalysts selected from the group consisting of reaction products of specified antimony or zirconium (IV) compounds with (1) a carboxylate of calcium, manganese or zinc and (2) an acid anhydride, alcohol or glycol. The molar ratio of the antimony or zirconium compound to the aforementioned carboxylate is between 1:1 and 1:6. The catalysts are active in both transesterification and polycondensation. The rates of these reactions are more rapid than can be achieved using prior art catalysts.

Reaction products of specific antimony compounds with a carboxylate of

The combination of a diorganotin sulfide, -polysulfide, -dithiocyanate, bis(thiocyanato diorganotin) sulfide or bis(thiocyanato diorganotin) oxide with a tertiary amine functions as a latent catalyst for rigid polyurethane foams. Latency is not observed using a tertiary amine with other sulfur-containing organotin compounds.
