Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The field of the present invention is the field of medical pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA). Specifically, the present invention relates to a medical silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, a method for coating a substrate using this medical silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, a coated substrate obtained according to this method, and a skin patch article using this medical silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive composition.
Background Art
[0002] PSA is an abbreviation of the term "pressure-sensitive adhesive" and is well-known in the art and widely used in various applications, especially medical applications. Currently, in the medical market, most of the products that come into contact with the skin, such as tapes, patches, and bandages, are manufactured with acrylic PSA. However, acrylic PSA has drawbacks such as poor resistance to sweat (water), poor biocompatibility, and a high sensitization rate to human skin, especially infants and children.
[0003] Silicone-based PSA is also widely used in medical applications where it is applied to or in contact with the skin. Silicone-based PSA can adhere to the surface simply by contact or by applying a light pressure. It has significant advantages compared to acrylic PSA. Silicone-based PSA exhibits advantageous properties for medical applications due to its breathability, water resistance, low irritation, and biocompatibility. For example, due to its biocompatibility and permeability, silicone-based PSA enables the diffusion of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor, making it suitable for the increasing requirements of new medical applications, and thus optimal for medical applications that require enhanced aeration.
[0004] International Publication No. WO 2017 / 158249 describes a silicone gel that can be used as a skin adhesive. The silicone gel has good adhesiveness on a polyester or polyurethane substrate and has better adhesiveness to the skin than gels of the prior art. Due to its inherent properties, the silicone gel lacks adhesiveness to wet skin, so it can avoid secondary damage to wounds during dressing use and is beneficial for wound care applications. However, in the case of medical materials attached to the skin without causing trauma, the adhesiveness of the gel often decreases due to a wet environment or sweating, and it often peels off.
[0005] Korean Patent No. 10-1731612 describes a medical silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive composition based on a vinyl silicone resin. Compared with conventional acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives, it is harmless to human skin, has excellent adhesiveness such as initial adhesiveness and re-adhesiveness, and is also excellent in absorbency and wound healing effect. However, this document has not studied medical silicone pressure-sensitive adhesives based on hydroxy silicone resins, nor has it considered the influence of high molecular weight terminal vinyl polysiloxane. Furthermore, the influence of factors such as XL viscosity, tH / tAlk ratio, nH XL / nH CE ratio on the coating performance of medical silicone pressure-sensitive adhesives has not been systematically studied and clearly defined. The residual property of the pressure-sensitive adhesive on the skin after wearing was not evaluated.
[0006] WO 2020 / 099999 describes a medical silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive that enhances adhesion while minimizing skin damage and pain when removing the adhesive. In this document, a condensation product is formed by the reaction of a polyorganosiloxane containing terminal hydroxyl groups with a silicate resin, and then a non-reactive polyorganosiloxane is mixed. In the subsequent tape manufacturing process, an electron beam is used to promote the cross-linking of the non-reactive polyorganosiloxane, thereby forming a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive on the substrate. In this document, the manufacturing process of the PSA is complex, and the control of the condensation reaction conditions has a great impact on the product quality. An electron beam is required in the subsequent curing process, and the equipment is relatively expensive. Furthermore, the properties of the condensation-type PSA are determined by the prior condensation reaction, and its subsequent applications are limited.

[0088] The medical silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of the present invention can be applied to various substrates suitable for medical use. Depending on the application field, the substrate can be a support with a very diverse range of properties.
[0089] According to a preferred embodiment, the substrate is a woven fabric, non-woven fabric, or knitted fabric, or a plastic film. The term "non-woven fabric" is understood to mean any structure made of fiber materials such as fibers, continuous filaments, or cut yarns that are formed into a net by some means and bonded by some means, excluding the entanglement of yarns, regardless of their nature or origin. Non-woven fabrics have a textile appearance, are porous, mainly composed of fibers, and are products manufactured by processes other than spinning, weaving, knitting, and knotting.
[0090] According to another preferred embodiment, the substrate is made of plastic. A wide variety of plastics may be suitable for use as the substrate according to the present invention. Examples include polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, regenerated cellulose, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polyurethane, particularly melt-blown polyurethane. The substrate can be a porous soft polyurethane film or a continuous flexible polyurethane film. This flexible polyurethane film can be manufactured from melt-blown polyurethane. When the substrate is a flexible polyurethane film, the thickness is generally 5 to 600 μm, preferably 5 to 250 μm, and more preferably 10 to 100 μm.
[0091] Preferably, the substrate can be selected from paper, polyurethane, non-woven fabric, and elastic fabric.
[0092] Depending on the end use, the medical silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive composition according to the present invention can be adapted to various substrates. In particular, organopolysiloxanes A, CE, and XL can be selected so that the specific molar ratio RHAlk = tH / tAlk and the specific ratio nH XL / nH CE are more suitable for a specific substrate.
[0093] For example, when the substrate is paper, the molar ratio RHAlk = tH / tAlk can be 4.30 to 6.00, preferably 4.55 to 5.55; and / or the molar ratio nH XL / nH CE can be 0.10 to 0.22, preferably 0.12 to 0.20.
[0094] When the substrate is thermoplastic polyurethane, the molar ratio RHAlk = tH / tAlk can be 4.50 to 8.00, preferably 4.70 to 5.70; and / or the molar ratio nH XL / nH CE can be 0.50 to 11.0, preferably 1.2 to 8.0.
[0095] When the substrate is non-woven fabric, the molar ratio RHAlk = tH / tAlk can be 3.50 to 8.00, preferably 4.00 to 6.60; and / or the molar ratio nH XL / nH CE can be 1.00 to 7.50, preferably 1.20 to 6.50.

Generally, the medical silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive composition according to the present invention can have a dynamic viscosity of 500 to 5000 mPa·s at 25°C, preferably 800 to 3000 mPa·s at 25°C, more preferably 1000 to 2500 mPa·s at 25°C.
[0098] The medical silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive composition according to the present invention can be applied or coated on various substrates by any technique well known to those skilled in the art. Examples of the application methods of the medical silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of the present invention include, for example, coating techniques performed by a knife, particularly a knife over roll, a floating knife, and a knife over carpet, padding, i.e., a coating technique by squeezing between two rolls, or coating techniques by a kiss roll, a rotary machine, a reverse roll or transfer, or a spray. Other coating techniques include a curtain coating technique. Curtain coating is a process of applying a coating liquid to an article or a support. Curtain coating is characterized by the formation of a free-falling curtain of the coating liquid dropping from the lip of a hopper, and forms a coating when encountering an article moving through the curtain under the influence of gravity. This technique is widely used in the field of manufacturing multi-layer photosensitive silver supports (see, for example, U.S. Patent No. 3,508,947, U.S. Patent No. 3,508,947, and European Patent No. 537,086).
[0099] Next, the medical silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive composition coated on the substrate is crosslinked at a temperature of, for example, 100°C to 160°C, preferably 120°C to 150°C.
[0100] In this way, by crosslinking the silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of the present invention, a substrate G coated with a silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive is obtained.

Examples
[0102] 1. Measurement Method The measurement methods implemented in the examples will be described below.
[0103] 1.1 Ease of Tearing The "ease of tearing" test is performed by cutting the cured PSA laminate into 10 cm (length) × 2.5 cm (width) strips, peeling the release liner from the PSA layer, and then quickly tearing the strip along the width. By observing the fracture location, the test results of "ease of tearing" can be classified into three levels. A = Clean fracture and no stretching line during tearing, Pass B = Difficult to break, but no stretching line during tearing, Pass C = Difficult to break and there is a stretching line during tearing, Fail
[0104] 1.2. Residue on the skin The "residue on the skin" test is performed by cutting the cured PSA laminate into 5 cm (length) × 2.5 cm (width) strips, peeling the release liner from the PSA layer, and attaching the PSA layer to the skin. After leaving it at room temperature for 4 hours, the PSA layer is peeled off, and by checking the sticking area on the skin, the test results of "residue on the skin" are classified into five levels. A = No visible adhesive and no sticky feeling when touched with fingers, Pass B = No visible adhesive and almost no sticky feeling when touched with fingers, Pass C = Visible adhesive spots, Fail D = Visible adhesive pieces, Fail E = Adhesive is visible throughout the adhesion area, Fail
[0105] 1.3.

The test results of "fixing property to the substrate" are classified into four levels by observing the adhesion areas at both ends. A = No change in both adhesion areas, Pass B = The adhesive is damaged inside either of the adhesion areas, Pass C = An adhesive piece is peeled off from the substrate in either of the adhesion areas, Fail D = Rejection if the adhesive is completely peeled off from the substrate in any part of the subsequent area
[0106] 1.4.

Then, according to FINAT FTM1, a peel test is carried out using a PA1000 - 180 peel tester of Cheminstrument Co., Ltd. The ambient conditions are 23°C and 50% RH. If the result is 4 N / 25 mm or more, it is considered qualified.
[0107] 1.5. Probe Tack Test The "Probe Tack Test" is carried out by cutting the cured PSA laminate into strips of 2.5 cm (length) × 2.5 cm (width), peeling off the release liner from the PSA layer, and performing a tack test using a PT1000 probe tack tester of Cheminstrument Co., Ltd. according to ASTM D2979. The ambient conditions are 23°C and 50% RH. If the result is 1000 g / cm 2 or more, it is considered qualified.
[0108] 1.6. Loop Tack Test The "Loop Tack Test" is carried out by cutting the cured PSA laminate into strips of 10 cm (length) × 2.5 cm (width) and peeling off the release liner from the PSA layer. The test is carried out using an LT1000 loop tack tester of Cheminstrument Co., Ltd. according to FINAT FTM9. The ambient conditions are 23°C and 50% RH. If the result is 500 g / 25 mm 2 or more, it is considered qualified.
[0109] 1.7. Re - attachment Characteristics The "re - sticking property" test is carried out using a loop tack test or a probe tack test. The tack test is repeated on the same sample until 40% of the tack is lost compared to the initial result, and the number of cycles is recorded as an indicator of the re - sticking property. The ambient conditions are 23°C and 50% RH. If the result exceeds 4, it is considered qualified.
[0110] 1.8. Peel strength The "peel strength" test is carried out by cutting the cured PSA laminate into strips of 10 cm (length) × 2.5 cm (width), peeling the release liner from the PSA layer, attaching the PSA layer to a standard fluorine release agent of 15 cm × 5 cm size, laminating it with a 2 kg rubber roller for 2 cycles, and holding this "test - ready" sample for an additional 20 minutes. Then, according to FINAT FTM3, the peel strength when peeling the PSA from the selected liner is measured by a PA1000 - 180 peel tester from Cheminstrument Co., Ltd. The ambient conditions are 23°C and 50% RH. If the result is less than 5 g / 25 mm, it is considered qualified.
[0111] 2. Preparation of the composition of the present invention 2.1. The raw materials used in the examples are shown in Table 1 below.
[0112]
Table 1
[0113] 2.2. Preparation of the "ready - to - coat" solution 37 g of organopolysiloxane resin B and 0.12 g of ECH are uniformly dissolved in 40 g of ethyl acetate, and then 23 g of organopolysiloxane A is introduced into the above - mentioned ethyl acetate solution while stirring until all components are uniformly mixed to obtain a basic composition.
[0114] Weigh 100 g of the basic composition into 50 g of ethyl acetate. Next, add crosslinking agent XL and extender CE in the amounts shown in the following table, mix uniformly, and then add catalyst D in the amount shown in the following table and mix the mixture to obtain a uniform solution called a "ready-to-use" solution, thereby obtaining the composition according to the present invention.
[0115] 3. Application to the substrate 3.1. Application Example 1, Paper Tape As a process, first coat the "ready-to-use" solution on a fluorosilicone release liner to a dry PSA thickness of 30 μm, place it in a ventilation hood for 10 minutes, and then place it in an oven at 120 °C for 5 minutes. After taking the cured layer out of the oven, cover the PSA layer with non-woven paper and laminate the resulting "sandwich" type assembly twice with a pressure of 30 psi using an autolamintor. The PSA is transferred to the required substrate side. A cured PSA laminate is obtained.
[0116] [Table 2]
[0117] Examples 5 and 6 - 8: RHAlk < 4.30 (nH XL / nH CE are the same but) results in a weak binding force (weak crosslinking) and spots remain on the skin.
[0118] Examples 12 and 2, 4: nH XL / nH CE > 0.22 (although RHAlk is the same) results in too strong a binding force, so the adhesion to the substrate is too weak and the fixing test fails.
[0119] Examples 9 - 12: nH XL / nH CE > 0.22 (regardless of the value of RHAlk) results in too strong a binding force, so the adhesion to the substrate is too weak and the fixing test fails. Moreover, unfortunately, after peeling off the PSA tape, some PSA pieces remain on the skin.
[0120] nH XL / nHCE When it is in the range of 0.10 - 0.22 for [a certain parameter] and 4.3 - 6.0 for RHAlk, it can be seen that good characteristics are obtained on the paper substrate, namely, it can be easily peeled off, has good re - sticking properties and water resistance, good fixing property to the substrate, and low skin irritation.
[0121] 3.2. Application Example 2, TPU transparent patch. As a process, a "ready - to - use" solution is coated on a TPU film (using kraft paper coated with polyethylene as a backing), dried to a PSA thickness of 30 μm, then immediately placed in an oven at 60 °C for 1 minute as soon as possible, and then placed in an oven at 120 °C for 5 minutes. After taking the cured layer out of the oven, the cured PSA layer and the silicone - fluorine release liner (Si - F liner) are laminated twice under a pressure of 30 psi. A cured PSA laminate is obtained.
[0122] [Table 3]
[0123] Examples 13 - 15: nH XL / nH CE When <0.50, the bonding strength becomes weak or it cannot be cured, and after peeling off the PSA, the bonding strength decreases and adhesive spots remain on the skin.
[0124] Examples 23 - 25: nH XL / nH CE When > 11, the bonding strength is too strong and the adhesion to the substrate becomes weak. When peeling the PSA patch from the skin, the fixing property decreases. Some adhesive pieces are transferred from the substrate to the skin.
[0125] nH XL / nH CE When it is in the range of 0.5 - 11 for [a certain parameter] and 4.5 - 8.0 for RHAlk, it can be seen that good characteristics are obtained on the TPU substrate, namely, good air permeability, good shear performance and water resistance, low irritation for long - term wearing, and good fixing property to the substrate. In particular, a PU primer is not necessary.
[0126] 3.3. Application Example 3, Non-woven Tape The substrate is a non-woven fabric.
[0127] As a process, a "ready-to-use" solution is coated on a fluorine release liner, the thickness of the dry PSA is made 36 μm, placed in a ventilation hood for 10 minutes, and then laminated twice with a non-woven fabric at a pressure of 30 psi. This sandwich-type assembly is placed in an oven at 120 °C for 5 minutes and finally taken out. The PSA is transferred to the required substrate side. A cured PSA laminate is obtained.
[0128] [Table 4]
[0129] Examples 27 - 29: nH XL / nH CE When < 1.0, the bonding force is weak, and adhesive spots remain on the skin after peeling off the PSA tape.
[0130] Examples 40 - 41: nH XL / nH CE When > 7.5, the peeling force from the liner is too high and the bonding force is too strong, causing poor fixing property to the substrate (since the adhesive force to the substrate is weak, PSA pieces remain on the skin).
[0131] nH XL / nH CE When nH is in the range of 1.00 - 7.50 and RHAlk is in the range of 3.5 - 8.0, it can be seen that good properties are obtained on the non-woven fabric substrate, namely, good air permeability, good shear performance and water resistance, and good fixing property to the substrate.
[0132] 3.4. Application Example 4, Elastic Fabric Tape The same process as in Application Example 3 is carried out to obtain a cured PSA laminate. The substrate is an elastic fabric substrate such as cotton or nylon.
[0133] [Table 5]
[0134] Examples 45 and 46, Examples 47 and 48: When RHAlk < 4.10, the bonding force is weak, and adhesive spots remain on the skin after peeling off the PSA tape.
[0135] Examples 42 and 44, Examples 43 and 46: nH XL / nH CE When < 0.50, the bonding force is weak, and adhesive spots remain on the skin after peeling off the PSA tape.
[0136] nH XL / nH CE It can be seen that when nH is in the range of 0.5 to 11 and RHAlk is in the range of 4.1 to 8.0, good characteristics can be obtained in the elastic fabric substrate, that is, excellent sweat resistance, repositionability, air permeability, and low irritation suitable for long-term wearing.
