Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of adhesives or adhesive tapes, and more specifically to a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition containing an oligomeric acid tackifier and a method for preparing the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition. Background Art

[0002] Improving the performance of adhesives has always been a technology that people pay attention to. In order to meet increasingly stringent environmental requirements, more and more researchers are seeking to improve the bonding properties of adhesives while also hoping that adhesives are made of environmentally friendly materials from biological sources, especially adhesives used in daily necessities such as furniture and home appliances.

[0003] The application of oligomeric organic carboxylic acids (hereinafter referred to as oligomeric acids) in adhesives is mainly used as structural units of various polyester resins or participates in polymerization reactions to prepare adhesive materials. For example, oligomeric acids are used as structural units of hot melt adhesives containing polyurethane systems and condensed with polyamine functional groups to prepare polyamide resins; oligomeric acids react with epoxy resins to prepare PSA precursors; oligomeric acids are used to synthesize polyester polyols, etc., to further give adhesive compositions excellent bonding properties. However, to date, it has not been found that oligomeric acids are added to pressure-sensitive adhesives without participating in polymerization reactions and improving the bonding properties of adhesives.

[0004] In addition, terpene resins, rosin resins, hydrogenated petroleum resins, etc. are often used as tackifying resins in pressure-sensitive adhesives to improve the adhesive properties of the adhesive. However, for pressure-sensitive adhesives using these common tackifying resins, although they have good adhesive strength, the initial adhesion performance is low and cannot meet the daily application requirements of high initial adhesion performance. Moreover, such pressure-sensitive adhesives have poor adhesion to low-polarity substrates and are limited in the bonding application of low-polarity substrates. Summary of the invention

[0039] Example

[0040] The embodiments of the present invention use the following test methods to test initial adhesion performance, impact resistance performance and peeling force performance.

[0041] 1. Test Method

[0042] (1) Initial adhesion performance test

[0043] The measurement of initial adhesion properties for very short contact time is the rolling ball initial adhesion test. The adhesive composition (coating amount of 50 g / m2) is applied on one side of a standard polyester carrier with a thickness of 23 μm. 2 ) to form a sample to be tested. A strip test sample of about 10 cm long is fixed horizontally on a test bench with the adhesive side facing up. A steel ball (diameter: 11 mm; mass: 5.6 g) is cleaned with acetone and conditioned for 2 hours under standard conditions (temperature: 23°C + / -1°C; relative humidity: 50% + / -1%). When measuring, the steel ball is accelerated by rolling down a slope of 65 mm high (angle of inclination: 21°) by the action of the earth's gravity, so that the steel ball rolls directly from the slope to the adhesive surface of the sample. Measure the distance traveled from the steel ball to the adhesive surface to stop on the adhesive surface. The rolling distance of the steel ball thus measured is used as the initial adhesion performance of the adhesive composition. The shorter the measured distance, the higher the initial adhesion or initial adhesion performance, and vice versa. The test results of each sample are obtained by the average value of the rolling distance of the steel ball measured five times separately (in millimeters (mm)).

[0044] (2) Peel force test

[0045] The present invention tests the 180° peeling force performance of the adhesive composition on different substrates, namely, stainless steel (SUS), polyethylene (PE) and polycarbonate (PC) substrates.

[0046] The peeling force of the present invention is measured under the conditions of 23°C ± 1°C temperature and 50% ± 5% relative humidity. The sample is cut into a width of 20 mm and adhered to a SUS substrate, a PE substrate and a PC substrate respectively. The substrate is cleaned and conditioned before measurement. Then, the side facing away from the test substrate is lined with a plastic film such as PET, PVC or other thickness of 25 μm to prevent the stretching or deformation of the adhesive layer of the test sample during the test. The test sample is then rolled onto the substrate in the following manner: a 4kg roller is rolled back and forth on the tape at a rolling rate of 10m / min for 5 times. Immediately after the rolling treatment, a steel plate is inserted to allow the test sample to be tested for peeling force at an angle of 180°. The peeling force is measured using a Zwick tensile tester at a speed of 300mm / min. The test results of each sample are represented by the average value (N / cm) of the three measurement results.

[0047] (3) DuPont impact resistance test

[0048] At a temperature of 23±1°C and a humidity of 50±5%, the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition was laser cut into a U-shaped sample with an inner side length of 29mm×29mm and an outer side length of 33mm×33mm. Wipe the 45mm×45mm frame and 35mm×35mm lens made of PC material with alcohol and let it stand for 2 hours. The U-shaped adhesive sheet to be tested was attached between the frame and the lens, and a pressure of 248N was applied and kept for 5 seconds. After standing for 24 hours, an impact test was performed with a 150g impact head. The separation of the lens and the frame was considered failure. A 150g impact head was used to impact the test sample from a height of 5cm. If the sample does not fail, it is raised by another 5cm, that is, a height of 10cm, and free-fall impacted; if the sample still does not fail, it is raised by another 5cm, that is, a height of 15cm, and free-fall impacted, and so on. Record the height at which the sample fails. Calculate the DuPont impact resistance W=mgh (m is 150g, g is the acceleration of gravity 9.8m / s 2 , h is the final failure height of the sample).

In addition, the initial tack performance test results in Table 3 above also show that: for the pressure-sensitive adhesive (such as B1 and B2) modified with tackifying resins, the addition of monocarboxylic acid HY-90 and oligomeric acid HY-13, Pripol1006 and TMA-3085 also improves the initial tack performance of the modified pressure-sensitive adhesive; and compared with the improvement effect of the initial tack performance of the pressure-sensitive adhesive by the above monocarboxylic acid or oligomeric acid, other common liquid tackifying resins cannot improve the initial tack performance of the pressure-sensitive adhesive or its initial tack performance does not meet the use requirements.

[0100] 5. Impact on peeling force

[0101] The peeling force (i.e., bonding performance) of the pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions prepared in some of the above examples and comparative examples on substrates with different polarities was tested. The specific test results are shown in Table 4 below.

[0102] Table 4. Effect of monocarboxylic acid or oligomeric acid on the peeling force of substrates with different polarity

[0103]

[0104] Note: zip means that the adhesive has poor wettability and the adhesive is sticky and slippery when peeled off from the bonding substrate.

[0105] The peeling force test results in Table 4 above show that when oligomeric acid HY-13 and Pripol 1006 are added to the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition as tackifiers, the peeling force (or bonding performance) of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition on the surface of low-polarity substrates PE and PC is significantly improved; while when other liquid tackifying resins Wintack 10 and Y308 are used, the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition has poor wettability to low-polarity substrates PE and PC, and the bonding fails. When the adhesive is peeled off from the low-polarity substrate, a stick-slip (stuck) phenomenon (zip) occurs, causing the measured values ​​to jump back and forth, and the peeling force cannot be accurately measured. Therefore, adding a carboxylic acid tackifier to the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition can significantly improve the bonding performance of the adhesive to the low-polarity substrate, while other common liquid tackifiers cannot improve the bonding performance or the bonding fails.

[0106] 6. Impact on impact resistance

[0107] The DuPont impact resistance test method was used to test the impact resistance of the pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions prepared in some of the above examples and comparative examples. The specific test results are shown in Table 5 below.

[0108] Table 5. Effect of carboxylic acid tackifier on impact resistance

[0109]

[0110] The impact resistance test results in Table 5 above show that the addition of oligomeric acid HY-13 and Pripol 1006 significantly improves the impact resistance of the pressure-sensitive adhesive; and compared with other liquid resins Wintack 10, oligomeric acid HY-13 and Pripol 1006 have a greater improvement in impact resistance. In addition, the impact resistance test results in Table 5 above show that for pressure-sensitive adhesives (B1, B2) that have been modified with other resins, the addition of oligomeric acid HY-13 and Pripol 1006 can also improve the impact resistance of the pressure-sensitive adhesive. Therefore, compared with common liquid tackifying resins, adding oligomeric acids to adhesives can more significantly improve the impact resistance of adhesives.
