preparation example Construction

[0027] In the preparation of the acrylic emulsion polymer, a neutralizing agent is included. "Neutralizer" means a basic material capable of acid-base reaction with an acid monomer. Suitable neutralizing agents include polyhydroxy functional amines such as triethanolamine, 2-[bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)-amino]-2-hydroxymethylpropane-1,3-diol (Bis-Tris methane ), 2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol (Trizma base), N-methyl-D-glucosamine, N,N,N′N′-tetrakis-(2-hydroxy Ethyl)-ethylenediamine and N,N,N'N'-tetrakis-(2-hydroxypropyl)-ethylenediamine.

[0028] Organic salts such as sodium citrate, sodium gluconate, or sodium acetate can be used in combination with neutralizing agents to enhance the removability of the adhesive. Inorganic acid salts may also be used. Alternatively, organic acids neutralized by hydroxylamine can be used. Non-limiting examples of organic acids include: acetic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, citric acid, gluconic acid, maleic acid, and dodecylbenzenesulfo...

Embodiment A-D

[0059] Examples A-D: Preparation of Base Polymers

[0060] Using the components shown in Table 2, the base polymer was prepared by radical emulsion polymerization according to the following procedure. Table 2

[0061] The reactor, equipped with a stirrer, heat source and nitrogen inlet, was purged with nitrogen and charged with water, then heated to 78°C. Potassium persulfate or ammonium persulfate was added to the reactor, and the reactor contents were mixed for five minutes. Thereafter, the preemulsion mixture was introduced into the reactor over a period of 230 minutes. The temperature of the reactor was raised to 79-81°C and then maintained at this temperature throughout the polymerization. After the preemulsion feed was started, the initiator solution feed was started. Twenty-five minutes after the preemulsion feed was complete, the initiator feed was completed and the reactor contents were held at 79-81°C for 60 minutes. The reactor contents were then allowed to...

Embodiment 1-8

[0062] Examples 1-8: Preparation of Pressure Sensitive Adhesives

[0063] Using the base polymers described above, a series of pressure sensitive adhesive compositions were prepared by compounding the base polymers and neutralizing them with hydroxyl functional amines or mixtures thereof. In several examples, salts of organic acids are used.

[0064] Table 3 gives the neutralizers and their salts, if any, used to produce the adhesive compositions of Examples 1-8 and Comparative Example A. Examples 1-7 were prepared using Base Polymer A. Example 8 was prepared using base polymer B. Comparative Example A is Base Polymer A neutralized with ammonia water. The listed amounts of neutralizing agent and salt are in parts by weight per hundred parts dry polymer.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application Serial No. 60 / 864,028, filed November 2, 2006. This provisional application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] This invention relates to acrylic emulsion pressure sensitive adhesives, and more particularly, to acrylic adhesives for use in removable polymer film labels. Background technique [0004] It is a common practice to apply labels to containers or bottles formed from polymers or glass. Such containers and bottles can come in many shapes and sizes to store a number of different types of materials such as detergents, chemicals, motor oil, beverages including fruit juices, soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, and the like. The label provides information such as the supplier of the container or the contents of the container. [0005] Polymeric film materials and film facestocks have been described for use as lab...
