Abstract:
A HMPSA is provided that preferably includes at least a) from 30 to 50% of a mixture of triblock and diblock styrenic copolymers having an overall styrene content comprised between 14 and 40%, b) from 40 to 55% of a tackifying resin with a softening temperature comprised between 70 and 150° C. obtainable by hydrogenating, polymerizing or copolymerizing mixtures of aliphatic unsaturated hydrocarbons having about 5, 9 or 10 carbon atoms; c) from 4 to 20% of a hydrocarbon oil with an aromatic content less than 15%; d) from 1 to 6% of a filler selected among calcium carbonate or a low molecular weight homopolymer or copolymer of polyethylene. A laminated system is also provided that includes at least an adhesive layer utilizing the HMPSA and paper facestock. Also included are PSA labels obtainable from the laminated system with a reduced tendency to discolor after storage.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of an adhesive composition comprising at least one silyl-containing polymer, at least one compatible tackifying resin and at least one catalyst to provide a bonding in a wet environment. The invention also relates to a method for providing a bonding with an adhesive layer obtained by curing the adhesive composition, wherein at least one of the bonding steps is carried out in a wet environment.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of an adhesive composition comprising at least one silyl-containing polymer, at least one compatible tackifying resin and at least one catalyst, to make a breathable self-adhesive article. The invention also relates to a breathable self-adhesive article comprising at least one breathable substrate coated with a breathable adhesive layer. The invention also relates to a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an adhesive composition that can be cross-linked by heating, said composition comprising between 20 and 85 % of a polyurethane comprising 2 terminal groups of the hydrolysable alkoxysilane type of formula (I) : wherein: R 1 is a hydrocarbonated radical comprising between 5 and 15 carbon atoms; R 2 is an alkylene radical comprising between 1 and 4 carbon atoms; R 3 is an akylene radical comprising between 1 and 3 carbon atoms; R 4 and R 5 are each an alkyl radical comprising between 1 and 4 carbon atoms; n is a whole number such that the average molar mass of the polyether block of formula -[OR 2 ]n- is between 300 Da and 30 kDa; m is a whole number such that the average molar mass of the polymer of formula (I) is between 600 Da and 60 kDa; and p is a whole number equal to 0, 1 or 2. The composition also comprises between 15 and 80 % of a compatible tackifying resin; and between 0.01 and 3 % of a cross-linking catalyst. The invention also relates to a self-adhesive carrier coated with the cross-linked adhesive composition.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a silyl-containing polymer that is used, together with a tackifying resin to form an adhesive composition capable of storing and delivering drugs to the skin of a user. Typically the composition is formed into a patch which shows excellent adhesion to the skin even when drugs and other additives are dissolved into the composition.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for cross-linking a cross-linkable adhesive composition without solvent on a film, comprising driving and/or guiding said film in a climatic chamber, by a Caroll-type drive or guide. The invention also relates to a climatic chamber comprising a Caroll-type drive or guide. The invention also relates to a process for manufacturing a self-adhesive article comprising at least a substrate and an adhesive layer, said process comprising the steps of: a) conditioning an adhesive composition at a temperature of between 20 and 160°C; b) coating the adhesive composition b1) onto at least a part of the substrate or b2) onto a non-sticking support; submitting the article obtained at step b) to a controlled atmosphere. The invention also relates to self-adhesive articles having high coating weights and to processes for bonding them.
