Provided are methods and associated compositions directed to a structural bonding adhesive. The structural bonding adhesive is made by mixing a curable composition comprising a mixture of a first curable resin and a second curable resin to provide an uncured adhesive. The uncured adhesive is irradiated by a first actinic light source to polymerize the first curable resin without polymerizing the second curable resin to provide a partially cured adhesive. The partially cured adhesive is a pressure-sensitive adhesive that displays cold flow creep recovery under ambient conditions and is capable of being fully cured by irradiating the partially cured adhesive using a second actinic light source that is different from the first actinic light source to polymerize the second curable resin.

Dual stage structural bonding adhesive

There is provided a transparent paint protection film comprising an acrylic adhesive layer, wherein the acrylic adhesive layer comprises a first cross-linking agent comprising a metal ion and a second cross-linking agent; and a base layer disposed therebetween, wherein the base layer is selected from at least one of polyurethane, polyvinylchloride, polyolefins, and combinations thereof, wherein the transparent paint protection film has a Young's modulus of less than or equal to 200 MPa; and optionally a clear coat disposed along a major surface of the base layer that is opposite the surface that is adhered to the adhesive layer.

Paint protection films

Antimicrobial compositions comprising aliphatic polyester, and an antimicrobial component effective for antimicrobial activity, and, in some embodiments, an enhancer. Example: blend of poly(lactic acid) polymer (55g) with propyleneglycol monolaurate antimicrobial component (9g), and benzoic acid enhancer (1g). Inventive resin compositions are effective against gram negative and gram positive bacteria, mold and mildew. Preferred compositions comprise materials that are GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe).
