  • PROCESSES EMPLOYING SILANE-CONTAINING POLYOLEFIN FILMS TENACIOUSLY ADHERED TO SUBSTRATES
    Publication number: 20150315420
    Abstract: Improved adhesive between a sheet material having a low free energy surface, such as a polyolefin, polystyrene, or polyethylene terephthalate film, is achieved by treating the film surface with a silane coupling agent that provides hydrolyzable groups on the surface of the film, and employing an adhesive composition comprising a polymer having reactive silyl groups (e.g., silyl-functionalized polyethers, polyurethanes and/or polyesters). Such improved sheet products can be advantageously employed as weather barriers for building construction applications, eliminating the need for, and disadvantages of, mechanical fasteners.
