  • Release compositions and articles made therefrom
    Patent number: 7229687
    Abstract: The invention relates to compatibilized release compositions useful in release layers of release articles (e.g., release liners) and adhesive articles (e.g., pressure sensitive adhesive tapes). The compatibilized release compositions comprise a mixture of a thermoplastic olefin-based polymer comprising an acid or a base functionality and a polymeric release material comprising an acid or a base functionality. The functionality of the thermoplastic olefin-based polymer and the functionality of the polymeric release material are selected to provide an acid-base interaction.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 25, 2005
    Date of Patent: June 12, 2007
    Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties Company
    Inventors: David J. Kinning, Audrey A. Sherman, Jeffrey J. Schwab, Patrick S. Seleski, Wendi J. Winkler
  • Adhesive tape
    Patent number: 6921729
    Abstract: Adhesive tapes (e.g., duct tapes) having a backing comprising a compatibilized release composition are reported. The compatibilized release composition comprises a thermoplastic olefin-based polymer comprising an acid or a base functionality and a polymeric release material comprising an acid or a base functionality. The functionality of the thermoplastic olefin-based polymer and the functionality of the polymeric release material provide an acid-base interaction that compatibilizes the release composition.
