  • POLYMERIC BASE HAVING AN ADHERED LOW-TACK ADHESIVE THEREON
    Publication number: 20160090214
    Abstract: A polymeric base with an adhered UV-cured adhesive applied thereto including a polymeric substrate having an amount of adhesion promoter filler particles dispersed throughout at least a portion thereof. At least a portion of the adhesion promoter filler particles effective to form an enhanced bond between the UV-cured adhesive and the polymeric substrate.

  • Reclosable fasteners, packages having reclosable fasteners, and methods for creating reclosable fasteners
    Patent number: 9096780
    Abstract: A UV-curable pressure sensitive adhesive, a package having an adhesive-based reclosable fastener including the pressure sensitive adhesive, and a method of forming the package is described herein. The package includes a cavity and opposing panels configured to cover an opening to the cavity. The reclosable fastener is a UV-cured pressure sensitive adhesive comprised of one or more UV-curable acrylic oligomers, one or more tack control components, and, optionally, an elastomeric material. An adhesive component ratio defines an effective ratio made up of the weight percent of the UV-curable acrylic oligomer relative to the sum of the weight percents of the tack control component and elastomeric component, where the ratio provides a fastener with a first peel adhesion and subsequent peel adhesions effective to form the adhesive-based fastener into a reclosable fastener.
