AI Technical Summary
Pressure-sensitive adhesives for thermoplastic olefins, such as polypropylene and polypropylene/ethylene propylene diene terpolymer, face challenges in maintaining high adhesion and cohesion over time, especially when exposed to environmental elements, due to insufficient cohesive strength and long-term stability.
An adhesive composition comprising specific ratios of (meth)acrylic-based polymeric components A and B, along with a tackifier, where component A has a high glass transition temperature and component B is acid-free, enhances adhesion and cohesion, and can be polymerized within a foam core with empty microspheres for improved durability.
The adhesive composition provides superior adhesion and cohesion on thermoplastic olefins, maintaining performance over years of exposure to environmental elements.

ADHESIVE COMPOSITION AND METHODS FOR FORMING IT TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present disclosure relates to an adhesive composition and methods of forming it. The present disclosure further relates to a foam tape including an adhesive composition and methods of forming the same. STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE Pressure-sensitive adhesives are used to bond a variety of substrates in various industrial and consumer markets. Depending on specific applications, pressure sensitive adhesives can be designed as a single layer or as multiple layers. The substrates may be of a similar nature or of a very different nature. Bonding substrates of very different nature is often more challenging, especially when the substrate on one side is made of thermoplastic olefins, including polypropylene and polypropylene / ethylenepropylenediene terpolymer. Typically, pressure-sensitive adhesives designed for these thermoplastic materials often lack sufficient cohesive strength as well as long-term stability. These problems are exacerbated in applications where it is necessary for pressure-sensitive adhesives to have both high adhesion and high cohesion, and where they are exposed to the elements of nature for many years. Therefore, there is a great need to develop pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions that retain high overall performance on thermoplastic olefins even after years of exposure.

EXAMPLES ΙνΙΛ / α / ZUZ I / UU / 03 I The concepts described herein will be further described in the following Examples, which do not limit the scope of the invention described in the claims. Test methods The following test methods were used to evaluate the adhesives of the invention. All percentages, parts and ratios within the specification, including Examples, and claims are by weight unless otherwise indicated. Test Method A1: A strip of anodized aluminum (measuring 19 mm x 200 mm x 0.125 mm) is placed on the non-test adhesive side of a tape sample measuring 10 mm wide and at least 100 mm. Pressure is applied to the aluminum by rolling with a 6.8 kg roller. The opposite side (test side) of the sample is then firmly adhered to a polypropylene panel or a polypropylene-ethylenepropylenediene terpolymer panel previously cleaned with heptane or isopropyl alcohol. After conditioning for 24 hours at room temperature and 50% relative humidity, the sample was removed by pulling the aluminum strip at 90° from the adhesive surface at a speed of 30.5 cm / minute. The test value is reported by the force required to remove the strip from the plastic panel or cut the tape. Foam splitting (FS) is the most desirable failure mode, as it indicates that the adhesion to the substrate is stronger than the internal strength of the foam layer. Test Method A2: The tape sample is supported on a 2 mil PET film instead of an anodized aluminum strip. The rest is the same as Test Method A1. Test Method B1: The non-test adhesive side of a 1" x 1" piece of foam tape is placed in the center along the long edge of a 3" x 2" aluminum panel and laminated with a weight of 6.8 kg. The other side (test side) of the foam tape is applied to a 3" x 2" polypropylene panel or polypropylene-ethylenepropylenediene terpolymer panel pre-cleaned with heptane or isopropyl alcohol and re-laminated. After conditioning for 24 hours at room temperature and 50% relative humidity, the assembly is hung at 2 degrees from vertical for 15 minutes in a circulating air oven, which was preheated to 70°C, and immediately adhered. with a weight of 500 grams through a previously drilled hole in the plastic panel. The time in which the weight comes off is recorded in hours. If no failure occurs after 10,000 minutes, the test is discontinued. Test method B2: The test conditions are the same, except that the oven was preheated to 80°C. Test Method C: Test conditions are similar to Test Methods A2, except that after conditioning for 24 hours at room temperature and 50% relative humidity, the assembly is left inside a circulating air oven at 80 °C for 72 hours. The assembly is then removed from the oven, cooled to room temperature and 50% relative humidity for 1 hour, and evaluated.
