Adhesive tapes are described which find particular application for sealing joints or regions between adjacent panels such as rigid foam insulation panels. Also described are methods of using the sealing tapes and systems of sealed panels using the sealing tapes.

Tape with acrylic-free adhesive

A double sided tape for detachably mounting a flexible printing plate to a flexographic printing press cylinder includes pressure-sensitive adhesive layers on opposed sides of a coextruded multilayer carrier having a core formed of a thermoplastic elastomer containing a uniform distribution of voids and one or more skin layers formed of film-forming thermoplastic polymer. The cellular thermoplastic elastomer is constructed to accommodate compressibility loads imposed during printing and to resist shear and tensile loads imposed during tape removal.

Method of making and using a flexographic plate mounting tape

A release coated liner and security labels containing such release coated liners are described. In one embodiment the labels comprise

Release coated liners and security labels containing such release coated

A inherently tacky pressure-sensitive adhesive copolymer is formed by copolymerizing at least one alkyl acrylate in the presence of a positive amount up to 50 percent by weight of the monomers of a polar acrylate monomer which, when homopolymerized, have a glass transition temperature less than 50.degree. C.

Polar pressure-sensitive adhesives

Flexographic plate mounting tape

A process of making backed, pressure-adherent carpeting. A construction is assembled comprising a backing-film and an adhesive on one side of the backing film, and then, in a separate step, the other side of the backing film is heat-laminated to a web of carpeting to thereby reinforce the carpeting and provide it with an adhesive. The carpeting is both reinforced and rendered adherent in a single pass of the carpeting and at a single station in the carpet-manufacturing line.

Method for manufacturing backed, pressure-adherent industrial carpeting

A release liner comprising a thermoplastic film having a release surface including a cured silicone coating for use in moldable pressure-sensitive adhesive fastening tapes and laminates including a moldable or formable layer. The rheological properties of the thermoplastic film at elevated temperatures are used to achieve mold conformability and retention of uniform release characteristics.
