Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a new composition that can be used as a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) with improved tack and adhesive properties compared to previous PSAs. Additionally, the new PSA has high breathability and skin compatibility. The invention also includes a process for preparing the new composition.

Problems solved by technology

A important drawback of natural rubber is its high costs that is why, fillers are usually added.
However, fillers modify the properties if the rubber and, in any case, long term aging is low.
Modified acrylic PSAs, which are formulated from acrylic polymers incorporating additional components such as high molecular linear polysiloxane polymers, gain tack and adhesion but they have a loss of internal strength and environmental stability.
A high initial tack will exhibit a high level of adhesion but may not be removed cleanly.
However, there are limitations to hot-melt PSAs such as insufficient high-temperature resistance and low chemical resistance which may be attributed to the thermoplastic nature of the hot-melt adhesive.

[0098]Preparation of a PSA

[0099]Monomers:[0100]50 g of Bisomer MPEG 350 MA (methoxy polyethyleneglycol methacrylate, average molecular weight 350 g / mol);[0101]2 g of 4-benzoyl-4′-(2-methyl-propenoyl)-diphenylthioether;[0102]283 g of 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, 140.0 g of methyl acrylate and 25.0 g of acrylic acid.

[0103]A thermo-radical initiator solution was prepared dissolving 0.8 g of t-butyl peroxy-2-ethylhexanoate in 140 g of a mixture 55:45 of ethanol / ethyl acetate. In a glass flask equipped with thermometer, mechanical stirrer, purged with nitrogen 80 g of solvent (composed with ethanol and ethyl acetate 1.22:1), 250 g of monomer mixture described above and 70.4 g of a catalyst solution were charged under stirring. The temperature was increased up to 77-80° C. The mixture was refluxed for 30 minutes and the remaining monomer mixture and the catalyst solution were uniformly added into the reactor over 90 minutes. At the end of the addition the monomer tank was washed with 50 g of a ...

[0105]Evaluation of the Performances of the PSA

[0106]The PSA of Example 1, after solvent evaporation under vacuum. was used as a hot melt, to coat a sample with a coating weight of 30 g / m2 onto a PET 36 microns film.

[0107]After crosslinking with a Hg-doped UV-C lamp, 30 mJ / cm2 the adhesive performance was evaluated as follow:

[0109]Evaluation of the Photoinitiating Activity

[0110]Two clear formulations were prepared to evaluate the performance of two PSAs comprising different copolymerizable benzophenones:[0111]the PSA of the invention, comprising 4-benzoyl-4′-(2-methyl-propenoyl)-diphenylthioether as component (c) and[0112]a PSA not according to the invention, comprising 4-acryloyloxy-benzophenone (as comparative test).

[0113]To a mixture of bisphenol A epoxy diacrylate (Ebecryl® 605) (93.06%), and silicone diacrylate (Ebecryl® 350) (0.94%), the copolymerizable benzophenone (3%) and ethyl 4-(dimethylamino)benzoate (3%) are added under stirring to obtain a clear solution. The formulations are spread on a polyethylene support as a thick film of 6 μm with a bar coater and after UV exposure (Hamamatsu Lightningcure LC8 equipped with Hg / Xe lamp 200 W and intensity reduced to 20%) the IR spectrum (Jasco FT / IR 430) is recorded.
