Abstract: A method of making an adhesive article comprises three steps. First, a backing is provided having first and second opposed major surfaces with respective first and second silicone release layers disposed thereon. The second silicone release layer further comprises organic solvent and a compound represented by the formula: R1 represents a monovalent, divalent, or trivalent hydrocarbon radical having from 2 to 40 carbon atoms or covalent bond. Rf represents a perfluorinated group having from 3 to 5 carbon atoms. X1 represents —NH— or a covalent bond. Second, an adhesive layer is disposed onto the first silicone release layer. Third, the adhesive layer is exposed to E-beam radiation within a process chamber containing oxygen to provide a crosslinked adhesive layer. An adhesive article made by the method and the compound are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method of making an adhesive article comprises three steps. First, the method includes providing a liner having first and second opposed major surfaces with respective first and second silicone release layers disposed thereon. The second silicone release layer comprises a partially cured hydrosilation-crosslinkable silicone mixture comprises a first silicone polymer having at least three Si—H groups and second silicone polymer have at least two vinyl, and has an extractables content of 5 to 25 weight percent. Second, an adhesive layer is disposed onto the first silicone release layer. Third, the adhesive layer is exposed to E-beam radiation within a process chamber thereby providing a crosslinked adhesive layer. The second silicone release layer is exposed to oxygen during crosslinking of the adhesive layer. Adhesive articles made according to the method also disclosed.

Abstract: A method of making an adhesive article includes providing a liner having first and second silicone release layer disposed on opposite sides thereof, applying the onium salt photoacid generator onto at least a portion of the first silicone release layer to provide a modified silicone release layer, disposing an adhesive layer onto the second silicone release layer, and and exposing at least the adhesive layer to electron beam radiation within a process chamber thereby providing a crosslinked adhesive layer, wherein the process chamber contains oxygen, wherein the modified silicone release layer is exposed to the oxygen during crosslinking of the adhesive layer. The first silicone release layer does not contain an onium salt photoacid generator. An adhesive article made by the method is also disclosed.
