Definitions

• the present invention relates generally to so-called self-adhesive complexes in which a crosslinked or polymerized silicone matrix is associated with an adhesive.
• This silicone matrix can in particular be applied to the surface of a support so as to make it non-stick with respect to the adhesive.
• This type of adhesive / silicone complex is more particularly used for the production of adhesive protective papers such as labels, decorative papers and adhesive tapes.
• These complexes can be prepared according to a so-called “in line” process which involves the successive stages comprising in particular the deposition of a crosslinkable and / or polymerizable organopolvsiloxane composition on a support type material, its crosslinking and / or polymerization by energy supply so as to form a silicone coating, the application on said coating of adhesive usually in the form of a wet emulsion, drying said emulsion and application of a second support.
• the adhesive / silicone complex thus formed is then generally stored for a more or less prolonged period on reels.
• the primary function of the silicone coating of these complexes is therefore to provide the interface between the support and the adhesive. However, it must also establish the adhesive connection to a sufficiently low that they can be easily separated from one another.
• an essential property of these complexes should be to impart a peel force with respect to the adhesive sufficiently low, and can be stabilized during prolonged storage complex on the reels at the end of their manufacture. Indeed, since these coils can sometimes reach more than a meter in diameter, very strong pressure is then exerted on the adhesives. Under this pressure, the adhesive can interact with the silicone and cause detachment difficulties, incompatible with the end use of these complexes, in particular as easily peelable adhesive labels or adhesive tapes. In this case, this bonding force, also called detachment force, can be quantified. Although it can vary significantly depending on the measurement method used, it can be broadly characterized, for a low release speed of the order of 30 cm / min, as follows:

• the number of lamps used depends on the speed of the process. A 120 W / cm lamp is enough to polymerize at 100 m / min. Two lamps will be effective for a process of 200 m / min or more.
• the coatings After exposure to ultraviolet light, the coatings are perfectly dry and an acrylic adhesive 50% in water is applied, the base polymer of which has the following composition: P.,:> 70% in butyl acrylate and ⁇ 25% in 2-ethyl hexyl acrylate
• P 2 > 80% in 2-ethyl hexylacrylate and ⁇ 10% in methyl methacrylate.
• This application is carried out either online directly (10 to 20 g / m 2 in dry) on an on-line or offline adhesion machine, after less than five minutes, after crosslinking of the functional silicones.
• the adhesive is then heated to between 100 ° C and 150 ° C, preferably 100 ° C, for a time of less than 2 minutes so as to remove the water from the adhesive which is then transferred using a transfer cylinder on paper or plastic support.
• the detachment forces of the various complexes obtained are measured, after storage for 20 h at 20 ° C., according to a standardized test (FINAT3), under a force of 70 g / cm 2 , with a detachment speed of 300 mm / min and after 20 hours at 70 ° C (FINA 10), simulating an aging of 3 and 6 months at 20 ° C under pressure conditions of 70g / cm 2 .
• the adhesive used, applied to the photocrosslinked silicone is based on the polymer P., and is marketed under the name RHODOTAK 315P. It is applied as an emulsion at around 50% dry extract (15-20 g / m 2 ).
• the control test not comprising any additive in the adhesive is noted Additive 0. All the other additives used in the following examples are, at a rate of 0.45%, added directly to the emulsion adhesive with the exception potash which modifies the pH of the adhesive between 4 and 6 and which cannot be added to more than 1000 ppm.
• the polymer P 2 used is mainly composed of basic units resulting from the polymerization of 2-ethyl acrylate, and marketed by BASF under the name Acronal V210.
• the silicone coating is applied in the same way as in the previous examples.
• the adhesive is similarly dried at 100 ° C. in an oven before being transferred to a self-adhesive label backing paper.
• Examples 1 and 2 are repeated with the polymer P1, varying the quantity and the nature of the additives used.
• the silicone is applied to a polyester film at the rate of 0.8 g / m 2 and the silicone is dried at 100 m / min with 1 "A" Fusion lamp of 120 W / cm.
• Variable amounts of additives are added, in the form of a 50% solution in demineralized water, in the adhesive based on the polymer P1 of the invention.
• the adhesive used based on the polymer P., sold under the name RHODOTAK 315P and without tackifier, is applied as an emulsion with approximately 50% dry extract on the photocrosslinked silicone.
• the silicone formulation is obtained by mixing 95 parts of polymer X with 2.5 parts of an 18% solution of photoinitiator P ⁇ in isopropanol and five parts of polymer A 2 . The whole is agitated vigorously before use in the form of a coating bath on coating rollers.
• the detachment forces of the adhesive applied in-line are measured on a silicone deposited at a rate of 0.8 g / m 2 on a polypropylene film or 1.5 g / m 2 on glassine paper sold by the company AHLSTROM or paper. coated marketed by LOHJAN; then dried at a rate of 200m / min using two Fusion lamps [240W / cm + 120W / cm (H + )] •
