Abstract: Compositions are disclosed which include between about 0.05 to about 5 or less wt. % of at least one acrylate monomer based on the total weight of the composition. The acrylate monomer reduces the peak cure temperature, thereby accelerating the rate of cure, without sacrificing completeness of the cure or the release performance of the cured product. The addition of the acrylate monomer also enables a reduction in the amount of costly platinum catalyst required to effectively cure a composition. In addition to the acrylate monomer, the compositions also include a silicone base polymer, a crosslinking agent, and platinum catalyst. The cured compositions exhibit properties useful for incorporation into release liners, adhesive articles, medical products and gaskets.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions and pressure-sensitive adhesive constructions fabricated using the pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions. The pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions comprise about 10 to about 40% of a styrene-isoprene block copolymer, about 5 to about 30% of a styrene-butadiene block copolymer, about 30 to about 65% of an aromatically modified tackifying resin, about 8 to about 30% of a plasticizing oil and optionally about 0.2 to about 2% of an antioxidant, wherein the percentages are based on the total weight of the composition.
