To provide An adhesive composition for a protective film to suppress a surface pollution and adhesive residue on a painting surface. The adhesive composition comprises: 100 weight parts of given block copolymer, and 1 to 20 weight parts of a given polar tackifier resin compound, wherein the polar tackifier resin compound has a solubility parameter (SP value) of 8.2 to 9.2 calculated by the Small method using Hoy's constant.

Adhesive composition for protective film on painting, and manufacturing process thereof

In order to provide a rubber composition having high transparency, toughness and heat-resisting property, the present invention can provide a composition comprising a neodymium-catalyzed isoprene rubber (IR) component; and a rubber polymer (RB) component selected from the group consisting of BR, 1,2-polybutadiene rubber, and SBR, wherein the amount of IR is from about 5 to 95 mass parts with the proviso that the total amount of IR and RB is 100 mass parts, wherein the composition is substantially free of silica, wherein the composition has haze of less than about 20%, and wherein the composition has Type A Durometer hardness (0 sec) of about 30 or more.

Transparent, tough and heatproof rubber composition comprising neodymium-catalyzed isoprene component, and manufacturing process for the same

The present invention relates to advanced flame/fire retardant compositions for fabric, upholstery, carpet, barrier, automotive, building construction, communication, and consumer electronics applications. The flame retardant composition comprises: about 5-25 wt. % hydrogenated styrenic block copolymer, about 6-40 wt. % polyolefin, about 50-80 wt. % inorganic flame retardant, about 0-5 wt. % coating, about 0-5 wt. % functionalized styrenic block copolymer, about 0-7 wt. % agri-derived heat resistant liquid, about 0.05-1.0 wt. % antioxidant, and about 0-7 wt. % optional additives such as metal deactivator, colorant, filler, and/or lubricants, wherein said composition totals 100 wt. %. An article made from the flame retardant composition, such as film, fiber, cable, and wire insulation meets various European and U.S. standards. The flame retardant compositions possess a good balance of tensile strength, elongation, flame resistance, and processability that has previously been unobtainable.

Fire retardant systems for polymers that enable flexibility and strength

The present invention relates to novel compositions comprising (a) anionic block copolymers of mono alkenyl arenes and conjugated dienes where one of the blocks is a controlled distribution copolymer of a conjugated diene and mono alkenyl arene having a specific arrangement of the monomers in the copolymer block, and (b) tailored softening modifiers have a particular structure that results in a surprising improvement in properties for the composition. Also included are processes for the manufacturing such novel compositions and various end-uses and applications for such compositions.
