The acrylic emulsion polymer is formed from constitutive monomers essentially including a (meth)acrylic alkyl ester (A), a carboxyl-containing unsaturated monomer (B), and at least one monomer (C) selected from methyl methacrylate, vinyl acetate, and diethylacrylamide and has a solvent-insoluble content of 70 percent by weight or more. When the acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is applied so as to have a dry thickness of 50 μm, dried at 120° C. for 2 minutes, and aged at 50° C. for 3 days to give a cross-linked acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive film, the film has a solvent-insoluble content of 90 percent by weight or more and an elongation at break of 130% or less at 23° C. | 02-14-2013 |
20140030515 | RE-PEELABLE WATER DISPERSION TYPE ACRYL-BASED PRESSURE-SENSITIVE ADHESIVE COMPOSITION, PRESSURE-SENSITIVE ADHESIVE SHEET, AND OPTICAL MEMBER - An aim of the prevention invention is to provide a re-peelable water dispersion type acryl-based pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, which can prevent electrification at the time of peeling off under low humidity environments (an antistatic property for peeling off in low humidity) independently of an adherend and which can form a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer excellent in adherability and re-peelable properties. The re-peelable water dispersion type acryl-based pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of the present invention contains an acrylic emulsion-based polymer composed of a (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester in an amount of 70 to 99.5% by weight and a carboxyl-containing unsaturated monomer in an amount of 0.5 to 10% by weight as raw material monomers, a crosslinking agent, and an ionic compound, wherein the acrylic emulsion-based polymer has an average particle diameter of 130 to 550 nm. | 01-30-2014 |
20140037950 | PRESSURE-SENSITIVE ADHESIVE SHEET - The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet includes a transparent film substrate; and, on at least one side thereof, an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The transparent film substrate includes a base layer including a resinous material and a top coat layer on a first face of the base layer. The top coat layer is formed from a polythiophene, an acrylic resin, and a melamine crosslinking agent and has an average thickness D | 02-06-2014 |
20140242384 | REMOVABLE WATER-DISPERSIBLE ACRYLIC PRESSURE-SENSITIVE ADHESIVE COMPOSITION AND PRESSURE-SENSITIVE ADHESIVE SHEET - The present invention provides an acrylic water-dispersible pressure-sensitive adhesive composition that can prepare a removable adhesive layer having low contamination of an adherent. The acrylic water-dispersible pressure-sensitive removable adhesive composition according to the present invention comprises an acrylic emulsion polymer (A) comprising an alkyl (meth)acrylate ester and a carboxyl group-containing unsaturated monomer as essential raw material constitutive monomers and prepared by polymerization with a reactive surfactant containing no oxyalkylene group. | 08-28-2014 |
20140272408 | WATER-DISPERSIBLE ACRYLIC PRESSURE-SENSITIVE ADHESIVE COMPOSITION, PRESSURE-SENSITIVE ADHESIVE LAYER, AND PRESSURE-SENSITIVE ADHESIVE SHEET - Provided is a water-dispersible acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition capable of forming a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer that can prevent static build-up at the time of peeling (antistatic properties), is superior in removability, in the ability to prevent an increase in peel strength (adhesive strength) over time among the adhesive properties, as well as in appearance properties (decrease of appearance defects due to dents or the like), and also in less-staining properties on adherends, particularly, in the ability to prevent white staining on adherends in high-humidity environments (the ability to prevent white staining). The water-dispersible acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition according to the invention contains an acrylic emulsion polymer containing, as monomer components, (i) an alkyl (meth)acrylate, (ii) a carboxyl group-containing unsaturated monomer, and (iii) at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of methyl methacrylate, vinyl acetate, and diethylacrylamide, and an ionic compound, and is characterized in that 70 to 99.5% by weight of the alkyl (meth)acrylate (i) is contained in the total amount of the monomer components. | 09-18-2014 |
20140308516 | REMOVABLE WATER-DISPERSIBLE ACRYLIC PRESSURE-SENSITIVE ADHESIVE COMPOSITION AND PRESSURE-SENSITIVE ADHESIVE SHEET - Provided is a removable water-dispersible acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition capable of forming a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer that is superior in antistatic properties (resistance to peeling-induced static build-up), removability, adhesion (adhesive properties), and the ability to prevent an increase in peel strength (adhesive strength) over time and also superior in less-staining properties on adherends, particularly, the ability to prevent white staining on adherends in a high-humidity environment.
