  • UV-C is the effective wavelength for curing a UV-curable adhesive composition. UV-C was measured with a calibrated UVICURE PLUS 8788, a self-contained electro-optic radiometer obtained from Electronic Instrumentation and Technology, Inc, Sterling, VA. In some experiments, the total UV dose was measured. In others, the UV-C dose was measured. A relation between total UV dose and UV-C dose was determined for the equipment utilized in these examples. Testing was conducted by varying the UV dose for some UV-curable adhesive compositions. The results are given in Figure 1 and Table 2 Table 2. Relation Between Total UV Dose and UV-C Dose for the Equipment Used
  • Table 2 and Figure 1 can be used to compare the results when measuring total UV rather than UV-C.
  • Inventive Example 1 Synthesis of the Inventive Styrene-Acrylate Tackifier Resins Styrene-acrylate tackifier resins were produced in a high-pressure reactor using a fed batch method. Xylene was used as a solvent and was pumped into the reactor and heated with stirring under nitrogen atmosphere to 150°C. The monomers (styrene, acrylic acid, and 2-ethyl hexyl acrylate) and 2% by weight initiator based on the weight of the monomers were mixed to produce a monomer-initiator feed stream. The monomer-initiator feed stream was added gradually to the hot solvent over two hours to produce a reaction mixture.
  • the reaction temperature was maintained at 150°C.
  • the reaction mixture was stirred for another 30 minutes at this temperature and at a pressure of about 3 bar.
  • a small amount of initiator was post-added, and the process was maintained for another 30 minutes at 150°C to produce a tackifier resin product stream.
  • the styrene-acrylate tackifier resin was isolated from the tackifier resin product stream by distilling off the solvent.
  • the temperature was slowly increased to 170°C, and vacuum was applied up to 25 mbar. After about 30 minutes, 90% of the solvent was evaporated. After 2.5 hours, the temperature reached 170°C and vacuum reached 25 mbar, and about
  • 2-ethylhexyl acrylate levels were less than 40 ppm. Residual acrylic acid was less than 134 ppm, and residual solvent was less than 24 ppm. These levels were significantly less than the residual monomer and solvent levels of the styrene-acrylate tackifier resins prior to steaming and to other commercial tackifiers as shown in Comparative Example 2. It should also be noted that the other properties of the styrene-acrylate tackifier resins were hardly effected by removing a substantial portion of the residual monomers. Low levels of residual monomers are extremely important for the end application, since the residual monomers can cause skin sensitivity. Low residual monomer and solvent levels in the tackifier resins can also positively influence the fogging behavior of an UV-curable adhesive composition.
  • Example 3 Variation of Monomer Repeating Unit Amounts in Styrene-Acrylate Tackifier Resins -Effect on Properties
  • the amount of the monomer repeating units in the styrene- acrylate tackifier resins were varied using the same process as described in Example 1 , and the resulting properties of the styrene- acrylate tackifier resins were monitored. The results of these experiments are given in Table 5. Table 5. Variation of Monomer Amounts in Styrene-Acrylate Tackifier Resins -Effect on Properties
  • styrene-acrylate tackifier resins were obtained with a MDSP from about 44.9°C to about 171.2°C, with acid numbers from 35 mg KOH/g to 187 mg KOH/g, a MMAP from 4°C to 32°C, and a Mzfrom 15921 to 51019 Dalton. More styrene instead of acrylic acid or 2-ethylhexylacrylate made the styrene-acrylate tackifier resin more aromatic resulting in a higher MDSP and a higher Mz. More acrylic acid increased the acid number and the functionality. It also increased the softening point and the MDSP.
  • Example 4 Skin Sensitivity of the Tackifier Resin A local lymph node assay test (LLNA) in. mice was performed to determine if the styrene-acrylate tackifier of Formulation II in Example 1 has skin sensitivity properties. Under the experimental conditions, there were no indications that the styrene-acrylate tackifier resin of Formulation II (see Example 1 ) had sensitizing properties.
  • the basic principle underlying the LLNA is that sensitizers induce a primary proliferation of lymphocytes in the lymph node draining the site of chemical application. This proliferation only occurs with allergens and is proportional to the dose applied. Therefore, the LLNA provides a simple means of obtaining an objective, quantitative measurement of sensitization.
  • Hexyl cinnamic aldehyde was used as a positive control.
  • the hexyl cinnamic aldehyde was mixed in acetone/olive oil to a concentration of 25% by volume.
  • a mixture of acetone and olive oil in a 4:1 ratio was used as a negative control.
  • the tackifier resin was diluted in acetone/olive oil (4:1 v/v) to the desired concentration.
  • Twenty mice were divided into 5 groups of 4 animals each. Three groups of 4 mice each were treated with different doses of the tackifier resin (Group B: 10%; Group C: 25%; and Group D: 50%).
  • Group E was treated with the positive control substance, and Group A was treated with the negative control.
  • the test substance was administered with 25 ⁇ l on each ear of the mouse. The data collected showed that there were no indications that the tackifier resin had skin sensitizing properties.
  • Example 5 Thermal Stability of Styrene-Acrylate Tackifier Resins
  • the thermal stability of the styrene-acrylate tackifier resins produced in Example 1 has been studied. The results are given in Table 6. The styrene-acrylate tackifier resins were heated as specified in Table 6.
  • the R&B softening point of the styrene-acrylate tackifier resin increased slightly upon heating. All other tackifier resin properties were not influenced by heating under the given circumstances. Therefore, it can be concluded that the styrene-acrylate tackifier resins do not only have good gelling stability but also a good heat stability, despite the fact that no antioxidants were used.
  • the Reactol® AC 11 and AC 18 tackifier resins were also aged upon heating, and both products showed an unstable performance. Initially, Reactol® AC11 and AC18 tackifier resins were liquid, after 24 hours at 175°C, the products were gels. This can be due to trans- esterification reactions. However, at temperatures below about 175°C, Reactor® AC11 and AC 18 tackifier resins function well in UV-curable adhesive compositions and do not gel.
  • Example 6 Moisture Vapor Transfer Rate and Fogging Tests
  • styrene-acrylate tackifier resins compared to conventional tackifiers, such as, Foral® 85-E rosin esters and Kristalex® F100 aromatic resin are that styrene-acrylate tackifiers can give better results in fogging tests and does not significantly reduce the MVTR of the adhesive composition.
  • Films prepared with an 18:85 ratio of tackifier resin to UV-curable acrylic composition were evaluated. In case of MVTR, the films were transferred to a highly breathable kimwipe structure, and the values was corrected by assuming that the resistances (1/MVTR) were additive. Results are given in Table 7.
  • Styrene acrylate tackifiers can be used to tackify solvent-based acrylic polymers. These styrene-acrylic tackifier can be used in radiation- curable, heat curable, and non-cured adhesive compositions.
  • two styrene-acrylate tackifier resins, Formulation I and II from Example 1 were compared with two conventional tackifiers in two solvent- based acrylic polymers, Solucryl 300 and Solucryl 303, produced by UCB in Brussels, Belgium.
  • the tackifier resins were mixed in a 5:85 ratio with the solvent-based acrylic polymer and coated at a coating weight of 30 g/m 2 .
  • the coatings were dried and cross linked for 10 minutes at 110°C.
  • the results were also compared with hot-melt adhesives produced from the styrene-acrylate tackifier resins of Formulation I and II and acResin® acrylic copolymer produced by BASF.
  • the following procedure was used in the hotmelt coating method.
  • the acResin® acrylic copolymer and tackifier resin were mixed together in an aluminium tray on a hot-plate at 150°C to produce a UV-curable acrylic adhesive composition.
  • the UV-curable acrylic adhesive composition was poured in a LC 200 pilot-plant-scale Lab-coater and coated onto 200 mm wide bi-axially. oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film at about an average 7 m/minute coating speed at 140°C.
  • the coating speed depended on the viscosity of the
  • UV-curable adhesive composition therefore, 7m/minute was the average.
