Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for the plasma treatment of a release layer, comprising the steps of (i) introducing a plasma gas into a discharge space; (ii) exciting the plasma gas into a plasma state by discharge; and (iii) exposing the release layer to the plasma gas in a plasma state, wherein the plasma gas is excited into a plasma state via a high voltage electrical power having a frequency of 2000 to 100,000 Hz and the high voltage is pulsed at a switching frequency of 30 to 5000 Hz.
- the present invention further relates to release layers obtainable by the method described herein, as well as release liners comprising a support and the release layer. Also described are adhesive tapes comprising the release liner described herein and an adhesive.
- Adhesive tapes are often wound into a roll in the form of an Archimedean spiral at the end of the manufacturing process.
- the adhesive is covered before winding the adhesive tape with a release liner (also referred to as release or covering).
- Release liners are also used for covering flat goods such as labels.
- release liners can be adjusted in such a way that one side of the adhesive tape is first exposed during the unwinding of the tape. This is possible if the release values between the respective release layer and the adhesive on the individual sides of the double-sided adhesive tape differ from one another.
- release liners paper or film carriers are used, which are equipped with a release layer in order to reduce the adhesion tendency of adhering products to these surfaces (release-effective function).
- the release agents used are various substances such as silicones, fluorinated silicones, fluorinated alkanes and polyolefins, silicone copolymers, carbamates, waxes or mixtures thereof. Silicones have largely prevailed over the last few years due to their good processability and advantageous release properties. Due to the large number of different compositions, silicones can also be used to adjust the release values of release liners.
- the level of the respective peel force of a pressure-sensitive adhesive of a silicone-based release liner is usually adjusted by silicone resins and in particular by so-called MQ resins. D.
- a specific silicone composition must be selected for each desired release force coated on a carrier and cured. This makes it necessary to use and also stockpile multiple release liners with different MQ resin contents when there is a need for different release properties. Due to the large variety of different adhesive composition such storage is hardly feasible. Furthermore, the use of many different coating compositions can lead to increased waste material, since the individual coating compositions can not be permanently stored. Instead, the particular coating composition must be prepared just prior to application.
- the separation force profile is the dependence of the release force on the withdrawal speed of the release liner from the adhesive.
- the force required to remove a release liner from an adhesive increases (or decreases) in the range of low take-off speeds (from 0 to, for example, 20 m / min) with increasing take-off speed before a release force sets in which is only slightly lower than the take-off force depends.
- the release force increases in the range of low take-off speeds (rising profile) or decreases (sloping profile) depends on the content of MQ resin in the formulation. For high resin contents, sloping profiles are often observed and for low resin contents frequently rising profiles.
- the separating force profile may be reversed in the release force profile.
- the profile of the release force profile in silicone resin-containing formulations is difficult to predict, especially in the range of low take-off speeds. For example, it has been observed that in the low pull-off rate range of 0-20 m / min, the release values are high in the case of high MQ resin concentration and decrease with increasing drawdown speed, although the release values are low at low draw speeds for low MQ resin or resin free formulations and usually increase slightly with increasing take-off speed.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to address the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide an improved process with which the release values of release liners can be adjusted in a targeted manner, even for strongly tacky products, in a simple manner. without there being any significant change in the course of the release force profile compared to an untreated liner (reference liner) or excessive interaction between the corona-treated surface and the adhesive due to over-treatment.
- the present invention addresses this problem and the problems of the prior art by providing a process for the plasma treatment of a release layer, comprising the steps of: introducing a plasma gas into a discharge space;
- the present invention further relates to a release layer obtainable by the process according to the invention; Release liner, comprising a support and the release layer obtainable by the process according to the invention; and an adhesive tape comprising the release liner and an adhesive in contact with the release liner release layer.
- the release layer is exposed to a high voltage electrical discharge.
- a high-frequency generator with an AC voltage of about 5-50 kV, and a frequency between 2 and 100 kHz, preferably supplied between 18-100 kHz.
- the high-voltage discharge occurs between the lying at a high electrical potential electrode system and a counter electrode to ground potential.
- the counterelectrode at ground potential is preferably a roller having a metal body which is grounded. If the electrodes are not coated with a high voltage resistant insulator, the backing roll must be coated with a high voltage resistant layer, such as a layer of silicone rubber, ceramic or glass. Alternatively, bare metal rolls or rolls with conductive coatings may be used when the electrodes are coated with a high voltage resistant insulator. Furthermore, both the electrodes and the counter-roller can be coated with a high-voltage resistant insulator.
- the distance between the electrode system, which is preferably configured in the form of electrodes arranged parallel to the roller, and the track surface is typically between approximately 1 and 2 mm.
- segment electrodes with fold-back individual segments which typically have a width of 5 to 20 mm.

- ambient air can be passed through the electrode housing or even through the electrodes themselves during discharge in air for cooling and to remove the ozone created.
- the plasma treatment is preferably carried out at atmospheric pressure.
- atmospheric pressure the present invention means a pressure of 0.5 to 2 times the ambient pressure, preferably 0.75 to 1 .5 times, more preferably from 0.9 to 1 .2 times the ambient pressure.

- the corona discharge which occurs when the plasma gas is excited into a plasma state by discharging, is therefore also referred to as a barrier discharge
- uniform treatment effects are sought over the entire electrode width of the corona or plasma system .
- P m For a uniform discharge over the width of the electrodes is a relatively high minimum electrical power P m in needed. This means that a certain minimum treatment effect at a certain speed under normal conditions not substeps n
- This minimum electrical power is typically one-fifth to one-tenth of the maximum useful generator power for a particular electrode design.
- the treatment effect in the case of release layers is so pronounced that even with the smallest possible treatment strength separating forces against strongly pressure-sensitive adhesives, for example strong sticky acrylate adhesives are achieved, which no longer allow use of the treated surface as a release layer for such an adhesive.
- a conventional, ie unpulsed, plasma treatment is not suitable for producing release layers with low release values in a range from 2 to 100 cN / cm in contrast to strongly pressure-sensitive adhesives.

- an electrical power P is set equal to or above the minimum power of the plasma unit Pmin (see FIG. 1), so that a homogeneous discharge, preferably a homogeneous corona discharge, across the width of the electrodes is ensured during this time.
- Pulses can be used to reduce the minimum effective electrical power for uniform treatment across the web width to less than 1% of the minimum electrical power without pulses.
- a safe ignition over the entire web width occurs at each pulse, as long as the power during the on-time is at least as large as the minimum power Pmin for a uniform treatment across the web width.
- the effective electrical power Pet Stammiv a pulsed discharge results from the ratio of the on time ti to repetition time T and from the power P during the on-time.

- the dose can be regulated at a certain machine speed so that the resulting dose D corresponds to the target dose Dsoii.
