Non-polarized medical pressure-sensitive adhesive

Abstract

The crosslinked (meth)acrylate-based pressure-sensitive adhesive is capable of adhering to mammalian skin for at least 10 days. The crosslinked adhesive composition comprises a crosslinked (meth)acrylate-based copolymer without polar groups and a hydrogenated hydrocarbon tackifying resin. The crosslinked adhesive composition is prepared by photocrosslinking a hot-melt processable blend of the (meth)acrylate copolymer and the hydrogenated hydrocarbon tackifying resin. The (meth)acrylate copolymer is the reaction product of an alkyl (meth)acrylate monomer, having an alkyl group containing 4 to 22 carbon atoms and without polar groups, with a copolymerizable photocrosslinker.
