Protective articles comprising an adhesive and cohesive thermoset viscoelastic polymer
A viscoelastic material comprises a unique adhesive and cohesive thermoset viscoelastic polymer coated onto a flexible substrate. The polymer can be formed by curing an uncured polymer mix derived from a thermosetting reaction media of a carefully balanced ratio of isocyanate prepolymer, polyether diols, polyether triols and organic plasticizers. The viscoelastic material can exhibit viscoelastic, adhesive, cohesive, releasability, cleansability and antimicrobial properties. In some aspects, the viscoelastic material can be fabricated into a personal protective article. In one embodiment, the personal protective article is a footwear cover.

The invention provides a unique system for providing partition dividers in stowing units (e.g. shelving, trays, and containers). This is accomplished by providing a stowing unit with an adhesive viscoelastomeric thermoset polymer which adhesively restrains a free-standing divider adapted to be removed and repositioned at any desired positon to fit a user's stowing needs. The adhesive polymer is also cohesive and releases both the divider and any stowed items in contact with the polymer via the application of a counteracting removal force sufficient to overcome the adhesive attraction of the polymer. Accordingly, dividers fixedly attached to conventional sectionalized containers are suitably replaced herein by the repositionable divider combination.
A unique transport stabilizing combination for stabilizing items during conditions of movement comprises a viscoelastomeric thermoset overlay disposed upon a vehicular support member. The viscoelastomeric thermoset overlay component of the transport stabilizing combination is desirably viscoelastomeric, adhesive, cohesive, releasable, antipathogenic, cleansable and/or reusable. The vehicular support member is desirably an extension of a vehicle, and the transport stabilizing combination can stabilize a portable item against movement and damage during conditions of movement, such as rocking or during transport.
Stabilizing cosmetic trays adapted to restrain cosmetic items in a steadfast emplaced position are provided by equipping the cosmetic tray beds with a cohesive and adhesive thermoset overlay typically provided by overlaying a bed of the cosmetic tray therewith.

The present invention provides floor mats possessing antipathogenic, cohesive, viscoelastomeric and adhesive attributes for removing foot and/or sole borne contaminants. A thermoset reaction product derived from a reaction media of a carefully balanced ratio of isocyanate prepolymer, polyether diols and triols, and organic plasticizers effectively provides a floor mat overlay for adhesively retaining and preventing the spreading of foot or sole borne pathogens and other contaminants.
A lighting apparatus is provided including at least one light adhered to a releasably adhesive viscoelastic polymer component. The light may be disposed upon, or at least partially disposed within, the viscoelastic polymer. The viscoelastic polymer component has a unique adhesiveness and cohesiveness, which allows the lighting apparatus to be releasably adhered to a variety of objects. Upon release of the lighting apparatus from an object, the viscoelastic polymer component leaves substantially no residue remaining on the object. The lighting apparatus can then be re-adhered to the object with substantially the same degree of adhesiveness as when originally adhered. In addition, a variety of articles can be adhered to the lighting apparatus, as desired.

Ammunition boxes may be equipped with a cohesive and adhesive shell restraining overlay adapted to restrain ammunition shells in a stabilized position. The shell restraining overlay provides sufficient adhesiveness to restrain a housed ammunition shell at a desired shell position, but allows for relatively effortless shell release without creating excessive movement or noise. The stabilizing overlay also stabilizes the shells from inadvertent spillage from the ammunition box.
The invention provides a unique container combination comprised of a container equipped with a thermoset viscoelastomeric interfacing section which serves to confine items placed thereupon. The interfacing viscoelastomeric section may be chemically bonded to the container support or cohesively bonded thereto. The interfacing thermoset viscoelastomeric section adhesively immobilizes items placed thereupon while tenaciously clinging (chemically or adhesively) to the container supportive structure. Containers equipped with the thermoset viscoelastomeric section surprisingly create an aseptic environment especially adaptable to hygienic applications while also affording superior protection against impact damage.

The present invention relates to a highly cohesive and adhesive thermoset viscoelastomeric reaction product, and to stabilized storage containers. To do so, the product is prepared by thermosetting a reaction media comprised of a substantially uniform admixture of from 4 to 8 percent by weight of an isocyanate prepolymer, from 20 to 55 percent by weight of a plasticizer containing less than 50 percent by weight of an epoxidized triglyceride plasticizer by weight of the reaction media, and polyols comprising straight chain linking diols and cross-linking triols each having repetitive ether groups. The reaction media further comprises a diols to triols weight ratio ranging from 7:13 to 13:7. The invention provides a unique thermoset viscoelastomeric reaction product and a container combination comprised of a supportive base equipped with the reaction product possessing unexpectedly superior adhesive and cohesive efficacy rendering it especially useful as an adhesive insert in a container combination.
The invention provides a unique thermoset viscoelastomeric reaction product and a container combination comprised of the supportive base equipped with a thermoset viscoelastomer reaction product possessing unexpectedly superior adhesive and cohesive efficacy rendering it especially useful as an adhesive insert in a container combination. The thermoset insert bonds to any suitable supportive structure. The unique viscoelastomeric reaction product inserts adhesively immobilize items placed thereupon and adhesively or permanently bonds to most conventional containers. The tenacious cohesive and adhesive features of the insert allows for inverted stowage of stowed items. Due to the confining adhesive and cohesive attributes of the insert, structural supports of a flexible or solid base without a conventional confining structure provide a unique container combination for the stowed items. Containers equipped with the unique insert also surprisingly provide an aseptic environment especially useful for hygienic applications.
