Abstract:
A film is described comprising a (meth)acrylic polymer and a polyvinyl acetal (e.g. butyral) resin. In some embodiments, the film has a glass transition temperature (i.e. Tg) ranging from 30° C. to 60° C. In some embodiments, the film has a gel content of at least 20% or greater. In some embodiments, the film has an elongation at break of at least 175%. The film typically comprises photoinitiator as a result of the method by which the film was made. The film may be a monolithic film or a layer of a multilayer film.
Abstract:
A pressure sensitive adhesive composition is described comprising a first block copolymer comprising polyvinyl aromatic end block and poly(vinyl aromatic/butadiene) copolymer block; at least 20 wt. % of a second polystyrene-polyisoprene-poly styrene block copolymer; and solid tackifying resin. The total amount of block copolymer typically ranges from 40-65 wt. % and plasticizing oil and liquid tackifying resin are present in a total amount of less than 20 wt.-% based on the total weight of organic components of the pressure sensitive adhesive composition. Also describe are adhesive articles and methods.
Abstract:
An adhesive article is described comprising a foamed adhesive layer and a non-foamed adhesive layer. The adhesive of each adhesive layer comprises a tetrahydrofurfuryl (meth)acrylate copolymer; an epoxy resin; a polyether polyol; and optionally a hydroxy-functional film-forming polymer. The adhesive may be used in structural and semi-structural bonding applications and is designed to fail cohesively.
Abstract:
A film is described comprising a first film layer having a Tg ranging from 30° C. to 60° C. The first film layer comprises a (meth)acrylic polymer and polyvinyl acetal polymer composition. The film further comprises a second layer proximate the first film layer. The second layer is different than the first film layer. The second may be a cured (meth)acrylic polymer film or coating; a backing such as thermoplastic polymer, woven or nonwoven fabrics, metal foils, paper, foams; or a coverfilm such as a fluoropolymer.
Abstract:
A light directing article comprises an acrylic polyvinyl acetal film to protect the optical elements of the light directing article. The acrylic polyvinyl acetal film has a Tg of at least 30° C. and comprises a (meth)acrylic polymer and polyvinyl acetal polymer. The acrylic polyvinyl acetal film is flexible and durable to mechanical deformation.

Abstract:
A film is described comprising a (meth)acrylic polymer and polyvinyl acetal polymer composition, wherein the film comprises a structured layer.
Abstract:
Polymeric compositions are provided that include a furan 2,5-di-ester or tetrahydrofuran 2,5-di-ester plasticizer. The plasticizer has low odor, has good compatibility with a variety of polymers such as hydrophilic polymeric materials, and can be formed from renewable resources. Further, the plasticizer can be used at temperatures often encountered during hot melt processing of polymeric compositions.
Abstract:
Pressure sensitive adhesive compositions are described comprising polymerized units derived from alkyl (meth)acrylate monomer(s) and a crosslinking monomer comprising at least two terminal groups selected from allyl, methallyl, or combinations thereof. In one embodiment, the pressure sensitive adhesive composition is a syrup or the reaction product of a syrup comprising i) a free-radically polymerizable solvent monomer; and ii) a solute (meth)acrylic polymer The syrup or the (meth)acrylic solute polymer comprises polymerized units derived from the cross-linking monomer. Also described are pressure sensitive adhesive articles and methods.
