  • Patent number: 6017621
    Abstract: An adhesive strip is described which comprises(A) a polymer backing sheet material;(B) a controlled adhesion coating on one surface of said sheet material, said coating comprising a radiation-cured mixture comprising(B-1) a major amount of at least one acrylate oligomer selected from amine acrylate oligomers, epoxy acrylate oligomers, urethane acrylate oligomers and acrylic acrylate oligomers, and(B-2) a minor amount of at least one monomer selected from monofunctional acrylate monomers and polyfunctional acrylate monomers, and(C) an adhesive on the other surface of said sheet material.Articles such as disposable diapers also are described which utilize the strip as a target strip or landing zone for pressure-sensitive adhesive fastening tabs when the diaper is fastened around the body.

  • Patent number: 5700571
    Abstract: A release liner providing a release surface which comprises a first olefin polymer film formed having dispersed therein by high shear mixing a release substance which is polyethyleneimine octadecyl carbamide, polyvinyl octadecyl carbamate or a mixture thereof, coextruded or cocast onto a film formed from a second olefin polymer. The release liner has particular utility in diaper tape application.

  • Patent number: 5690628
    Abstract: A refastenable diaper is provided with a securing zone on the diaper outer cover of a peak strength of less than 2750 grams/inch. A refastenable adhesive taping system for the diaper includes an adhesive fastening tape comprising a flexible backing and a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive permanently combined to said flexible backing and adapted to be applied to and released from the securing zone to fasten and open the diaper. The adhesive exhibits a 180.degree. peel adhesion of the tape to the securing zone that is less than the peak strength of the securing zone. The adhesive is selected to be within a specified rheological window, that is, have a maximum tan delta, or (tan delta).sub.max, of from 1.5 to 2.5 at 20.degree. C., reached at a frequency, or (w).sub.max, of greater than 500 rad/sec.
