Definitions
- the invention relates to a hotmelt pressure-sensitive adhesive in the form of granules with at least one outer layer (shell) made of a non-pressure-sensitive adhesive composition and with a core of the hotmelt pressure-sensitive adhesive surrounded by it.
- Coated granules of this type from pressure sensitive adhesives to be applied to the melt are known.
- EP 294 141 describes coated pellets made of synthetic polymers, e.g. EVA, coated with PE. They are produced by a) extruding a first synthetic polymer into a strand or into pellets, b) cutting the strand into pellets while still molten, c) powdering the pellets with powder of a second polymer, the powder due to the high temperature the pellet melts and forms a layer, d) cools the coated pellet.
- synthetic polymers e.g. EVA, coated with PE.
- the powder can be heated to 30 to 40 ° C before application.
- the coated pellets do not stick together.
- a disadvantage of the coated pellets described is that the enveloping layer is not closed and parts can escape from the melt ("bleeding").
- WO 96/00747 describes a process for coating hot melt adhesives which essentially comprises the following steps: a) extrusion of the hot melt adhesive through a suitable nozzle, b) spraying the surface of the extruded hot melt adhesive with a melted film-forming polymeric material with a lower molecular weight or with a polymer formulation, the coating material not significantly impairing the properties of the adhesive composition after it has been remelted, c) heating the surface of the coated adhesive so that the film-forming polymer is remelted and forms a continuous coating; and d) cooling the adhesive coated in this way to temperatures that are suitable for handling.
- the extruded hot melt adhesive can be cooled after extrusion and prior to spray coating. However, direct coating after extrusion is preferred. The coated extrudate is finally cut. A disadvantage of this process and the products that result is that the interfaces are not coated. The portions are therefore not pourable.
- EP 14 467 describes a process for underwater pelletizing ethylene copolymers, e.g. of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, 1 to 1000 ppm of a surface-active agent being added to the water to reduce the agglomeration. This increases the agglomeration temperature by at least 10 ° C.
- WO 97/19582 describes a thermoplastic polymer composition with a non-tacky surface in pellet form which consists of 97 to 99.9% by weight of a pressure sensitive adhesive and 0.1 to 3% by weight of a pelletizing agent. There is agent that surrounds the thermoplastic composition. Substances from the group of PE wax, modified PE wax, PA wax and stearamide wax and their mixtures are specifically mentioned as pelleting agents. They are powdery. Underwater granulation is also mentioned as a manufacturing process for the sticky hot melt adhesive pellets, from which pellets with the non-sticky surfaces that do not block are produced using the pelletizing agents. The production comprises the following steps:
- the pelleting agent should be used with each extruder run. It is added to the cooling medium. Its concentration in the water is in the range of 0.1 to 3% by weight.
- Granules stick to each other and to the packaging.
- EP 156 274 describes an aqueous release agent for the superficial temporary anti-adhesive treatment of sticky pastilles, granules, etc., which consists of a 0.5 to 25% by weight solution or dispersion of an at least difunctional aliphatic alcohol having 3 to 7 carbon atoms and / or an at least trifunctional aliphatic hydroxycarboxylic acid or its water-soluble salts. If necessary, 0.2 to 15% by weight of water-insoluble salts of a C 2 -C 36 -aliphatic or alicyclic mono- or dicarboxylic acid can also be used.
- the release agent is primarily used to make granules made of pressure-sensitive hot-melt adhesives anti-adhesive.
- the granules are treated with the solution or the suspension at 18 to 22 ° C. and then, after the solution or the suspension has been suctioned off, dried with air at 30 ° C. in 15 minutes.
- the granules then contain 0.3 to 0.5% by weight of active substance. It is protectable. The release effect remains at 25 ° C for at least 3 months. However, it is not sufficient to increase the bearing temperature and pressure. In addition, the finishing process is difficult because of the agglomeration of the unrefined granules.
- the sticky materials are first extruded and crushed into particles while in contact with the fluid that contains a compatible non-sticky material that coats the sticky particles as they form. This is preferred Underwater granulation.
- the coated sticky particles are then separated from the cooling fluid and coated a second time with a non-sticky material.
- the coating material should consist of silicones, surface-active compounds or powders, the powders preferably being polyolefins and polyolefin waxes with a particle size of about 1 to 600 ⁇ m. Among the polyolefins, polypropylene waxes and Fischer-Tropsch waxes are preferred.
- the powder should have a proportion of about 0.5 to 8% by weight, based on the polymer particles.
- a hotmelt pressure-sensitive adhesive in the form of granules with at least one compact outer layer (shell) composed of at least one to 45 ° C. non-tacky component of the hotmelt pressure-sensitive adhesive and with a core surrounding it from the remaining components of the hotmelt pressure-sensitive adhesive ,
- the weight fraction of the outer layers is preferably in the range from 0.5 to 10% by weight.
- the granulate is produced from the melt of the hotmelt PSA by the underwater pelletizing process. After the granulate has cooled to below 15 ° C., it is sprayed with the finely divided liquid coating component until a sufficiently dense layer is formed on the core.
- the coating material can consist of a thermoplastic elastomer, the melting point of which can be reduced by mixing with other adhesive components, e.g. with waxes or plasticizers.
- the coating component is liquid when applied, preferably an anhydrous melt, e.g. a PE wax. But it can also be an aqueous dispersion, e.g. an emulsion of Fischer-Tropsch wax with PES film formers.
- the wax is finely divided and has an average diameter of 0.5 to 12 ⁇ m.
- a separating agent in particular a fatty acid derivative, e.g. a stearate.
- EP 575 900 B1 describes the use of micronized polyethylene wax as a release agent for sticky granules.
- the polyethylene wax has an average particle size of 1 to 30 ⁇ m and an average Molecular weight Mn from 50 to 10,000. An amount of 0.1 to 2% by weight, based on the granules, is applied.
- the PE wax is expediently applied by powdering and spraying on the melt.
- Polyethylene waxes have the disadvantage that they usually lead to problems with the treated hotmelt PSAs after heating over a long period of time, e.g. Gel formation, charring, skin formation and deteriorated adhesive properties.
- Powders generally have the disadvantage that they are difficult to disperse and require a large amount of dispersant.
- problems associated with this during manufacture e.g. Foaming during shredding. Bigger problems arise later. For example, their non-stick effect is insufficient due to the lack of a continuous film, and the adhesive properties are ultimately deteriorated.
- the invention is based on this prior art. It is based on the object of providing a hotmelt pressure-sensitive adhesive which, even after long storage at changing temperatures and a high intrinsic pressure, is still easy to handle, in particular easy to dose. This also includes avoiding sticking to one another or to packaging. Rapid melting should also be made possible. Of course, the adhesive properties must not be adversely affected by the anti-adhesive finish.
- the solution can be found in the patent claims. It essentially consists in producing a coating of a granulate core with a special film former and a special release agent. In order to improve the application of the coating composition, it is expedient to add a wetting agent or a defoamer.
- the subject of the application is primarily a hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive in the form of granules with at least one outer layer (shell) made of a non-pressure sensitive adhesive composition and with a core of the hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive surrounded by it, characterized in that at least one of the outer layers consists of a composition that contains the following components:

- the outer layers surround the core so completely, preferably more than 90%, in particular more than 99%, of the core surface that one can speak of a continuous coating. This degree of coverage is determined by area evaluation of microscopic images.
- the granulate is free-flowing. This means that due to its own weight, it still flows through an opening of 5 cm in diameter after storage for 4 or at least 2 months at temperatures from -10 to +40 ° C on a weekly basis and with an internal pressure of 30 cm filling height.
- the granules have a grain diameter of 1 to 30, preferably 4 to 10 mm.

- the proportion by weight is determined by carrying out statistical weighing.
- the granules can also be made up of several layers, the tackifier generally making up the core, which is surrounded by a first layer of a mixture of plasticizers and fillers and a second layer of polymers and antioxidants.
- the outer layer can also consist of a mixture of polymers and plasticizers in order to lower the melting temperature or softening temperature in this way. However, the plasticizer must be carefully selected here in order to avoid undesired migration into the outer layer.
- At least one of these layers preferably consists of the following parts by weight: 10 to 25 parts by weight of Fischer-Tropsch wax, 1 to 5 parts by weight of mannitol and 0.05 to 0.25 parts by weight of a wetting agent or defoamer.

- the anhydrides of the sugar alcohols may also be useful, e.g. Polygalitol.
- Mannitol is preferred. Mannitol is a low molecular film former. Up to 50% by weight can be replaced by other polyhydric low molecular weight alcohols, in particular by other sugar alcohols.
- the wetting agent or defoamer should preferably be a nonionic surface-active substance and be based essentially on epoxidation products. For example, ethoxylated acetylenediols or acetylenediol-EO-acetylenediol mixtures (90:10) from Air Products, in particular Surfynol DF 37, can be used.
