Publication number: 20140088239Abstract: The present invention makes a water-dispersed PSA composition capable of forming a PSA that exhibits good adhesiveness to a non-polar adherend such as polyethylene and polypropylene at a low temperature. The water-dispersed PSA composition comprises a (meth)acrylic polymer obtained by polymerizing a monomer composition comprising as a primary component an alkyl(meth)acrylate having an alkyl group with 1 to 18 carbon atoms, and a latex containing a rubber component that is immiscible with the (meth)acrylic polymer, the (meth)acrylic polymer and the latex being mixed at a weight ratio ((meth)acrylic polymer/rubber latex) within a range of 95/5 to 25/75 based on solid contents; wherein a storage modulus in a range of ?15° C. to 25° C. is 1 MPa or smaller, the storage modulus being determined by a dynamic viscoelastic measurement in which shear strain is applied at a frequency of 1 Hz, the measurement being taken with respect to the water-dispersed PSA composition dried at 100° C. for 3 minutes.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2012Publication date: March 27, 2014Applicant: NITTO DENKO CORPORATIONInventors: Mika Okada, Chie Kitano
