A photocurable silicone composition, a method of forming a coating from such compositions, and an article comprising a coating formed from such compositions and/or methods are shown and described herein. The photocurable silicone composition comprises (i) a vinyl functional polysiloxane; (ii) a hydride functional polysiloxane; (iii) a photoactive catalyst; and (iv) an acid-anhydride functional polysiloxane. The composition and method can be employed to process thin coatings onto paper and film substrates followed by exposure to actinic radiation at ambient conditions of temperature and atmosphere for manufacture of release liners.

Photocurable silicone compositions and process for manufacture of release liners

The present invention relates to curable alkenyl based silicone release coating compositions having improved adhesion to paper and polymeric substrates. Furthermore the present invention relates to the process for making a silicone release coating with improved adhesion to paper and polymeric substrates.

Paper release compositions having improved adhesion to paper and polymeric films

A laminate includes a backing material coated with a solvent resistant adhesive composition. The adhesive composition includes a hydroxyl or urea or hydrocarbon terminated unsaturated polyurethane or polyurethane-urea polymer and a peroxide or a silicone hydride.

Laminate containing solvent resistant polyurethane adhesive compositions

A solvent resistant adhesive obtained by the crosslinking of a hydroxyl or urea or hydrocarbon terminated unsaturated polyurethane or polyurethane-urea polymer with a peroxide or a silicone hydride. The adhesive is useful as a component in pressure sensitive adhesives.

Solvent resistant polyurethane adhesive compositions

A silylated polymer contains repeating units derived from butadiene. The polymer when partially silylated is especially useful for pressure sensitive adhesives where it imparts superior solvent resistance performance thereto.
