  • Patent number: 9896605
    Abstract: The invention describes a double-sided, carrierless self-adhesive tape which can be used in particular for achieving very durable adhesive bonding of a variety of articles. This double-sided, carrierless self-adhesive tape is composed of a homogeneously crosslinked pressure-sensitive acrylate hotmelt composition of single-layer construction, which may have been lined with release materials such as siliconized release papers or release films. The double-sided, carrierless pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is characterized in that it is composed of a photoinitiator-free, thermally homogeneously crosslinked acrylate hotmelt which is crosslinked predominantly by way of urethane units. It is notable in particular for the fact that it is homogeneously chemically crosslinked through the layer and, in contrast to acrylate layers crosslinked by radiation (UV/EBC), does not exhibit any profile of crosslinking through the layer.

  • Publication number: 20110165402
    Abstract: The invention describes a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of the kind which can be used in particular for achieving very durable bonds at high temperatures. These adhesive tapes, especially adhesive assembly tapes for the permanent fixing of articles to substrates, are preferably of multilayer construction. The inventive double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes are characterized in that the viscoelastic carrier layer is composed of a photoinitiator-free, thermally homogeneously crosslinked acrylate hotmelt. They are further characterized in that these homogeneously thermally crosslinked acrylate hotmelts have crosslinking sites by way of urethane units. This viscoelastic carrier layer is covered on both sides in each case by adhesive layers, preferably pressure-sensitive adhesive layers. These layers are connected by chemical reaction to the viscoelastic carrier layer.

  • Patent number: 7935383
    Abstract: A method of producing an adhesive tape having at least one carrier layer and two outer adhesive layers, wherein the carrier layer is from 300 ?m to 5000 ?m thick and is composed of a photoinitiator-free homogeneously thermally crosslinked polymer based on acrylate and/or methacrylate, in which at least one trimerized isocyanate crosslinker is added in the melt to a polyacrylate copolymer having primary hydroxyl groups and based on acrylic esters and/or methacrylic ester, a layer of the polyacrylate together with the crosslinker is conveyed to a coating unit, where pressure-sensitive adhesive layers are laminated onto both sides of the not-yet fully-crosslinked polyacrylate layer, and the crosslinking of the polyacrylate leads to a homogeneously crosslinked carrier layer.

  • Patent number: 7910163
    Abstract: A process for producing an adhesive tape with single- or double-sided crosslinked pressure-sensitive acrylate hotmelt adhesive layer, wherein a crosslinker is added in the melt to a polyacrylate copolymer (“polyacrylate”) based on acrylic and/or methacrylic esters, the polyacrylate with crosslinker is conveyed to a coating unit, where it is applied to a web-form layer and following application is homogeneously crosslinked, where the crosslinker is a thermal crosslinker and some of the acrylic and/or methacrylic esters contain primary hydroxyl groups and addition takes place preferably in an extruder.

  • Patent number: 6652908
    Abstract: A method of producing a coating of solvent-free pressure-sensitive adhesive systems on substrates, especially release-coated substrates, in which a fluid film is applied to a rotating roller by means of a fluid applicator, the pressure-sensitive adhesive system is applied in one or more layers to the fluid film by means of an adhesive applicator, and the roller is contacted with the substrate, so that the pressure-sensitive adhesive system is transferred from the roller to the substrate.
