る。2. Description of the Related Art A medical hygiene pressure-sensitive adhesive composition used for application to the skin is usually formed by forming a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in a layer on one side of a supporting substrate to form a medical or hygienic pressure-sensitive adhesive tape or sheet. Is used by attaching it to the skin surface to which it is to be applied.

接着特性に優れたものでなければならない。[0003] The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer thus formed generally needs to be firmly adhered and fixed to the skin surface, and has a so-called cohesive force in the layer and an anchoring force with a supporting substrate.
It must have excellent adhesive properties.

れるようになっている。[0005] Conventionally, as a medical pressure-sensitive adhesive composition,
An acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition containing alkyl acrylate as a main component and a rubber pressure-sensitive adhesive composition containing a synthetic rubber or a natural rubber as a main component are generally used. However, it is difficult to adjust the adhesive properties of rubber-based adhesives, and natural rubber has some difficulties in handling, such as the possibility of allergies caused by proteins as impurities, and the polymerization method, polymerization composition, compounding, etc. Therefore, the study of acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions that can easily adjust pressure-sensitive adhesive properties has been conducted relatively frequently.

る。[0007] For example, in order to improve the skin adhesion, the amount of copolymerization of an alkyl acrylate having an alkyl group of about 4 to 12 carbon atoms as a skin adhesion-imparting component is increased, or acrylic having a long alkyl chain is used. Attempts have been made to use acid alkyl esters, but on the other hand, a crosslinking treatment of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is required because a reduction in the internal cohesion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer causes a reduction in the holding power. As a typical crosslinking treatment, a method of adding an external crosslinking agent such as a polyisocyanate, an amine, or an epoxy compound, a method of copolymerizing a crosslinking monomer, and the like are used.

Of these methods, sterilization treatment with ionizing radiation is becoming mainstream from the viewpoints of facilities, economy, and legal regulations.

However, it is also known that when the adhesive is irradiated, the adhesive is cross-linked together with the sterilization. The gel content in the adhesive rises, and as a result,
Adhesive properties such as skin adhesion may decrease. Therefore, in consideration of the decrease in the adhesive properties after ionizing radiation irradiation,
It is also conceivable to adjust the adhesive properties of the adhesive in advance, but if such a method is adopted, the internal cohesive force of the adhesive before irradiation with ionizing radiation is adjusted so as to be low, so during storage The adhesive layer in the adhesive tape flows,
The adhesive may protrude from the side of the tape, that is, the so-called glue may protrude. In addition, the adhesive is attached to a cutting blade used when punching or cutting into a predetermined shape, and the cutting efficiency is reduced. Also occurs.

うことが重要なのである。BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The adhesive composition for medical hygiene of the present invention comprises an alkyl methacrylate having an alkyl group having 5 to 15 carbon atoms and a copolymerizable monomer having a carboxyl group or a hydroxyl group. It is obtained by emulsion copolymerization of a monomer mixture as a component. When a similar product is prepared by solution polymerization, which is a homogeneous polymerization system, the molecular weight of the obtained copolymer is smaller than that of an emulsion system, and as a result, the adhesiveness to the skin surface is good, but the pressure-sensitive adhesive The internal cohesion of the composition may be insufficient. When an adhesive tape or sheet is produced from the composition obtained by such a solution polymerization system, there is a possibility that an adhesive residue phenomenon occurs when the adhesive tape or sheet is peeled from the skin surface. To achieve this, it is important to carry out emulsion polymerization.

すのである。When the amount of the copolymerizable monomer is less than 1% by weight, water resistance and sweat resistance when applied to the skin surface are good, but the internal cohesive force in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is low. When the content exceeds 30% by weight, the internal cohesive force of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer increases, but the water resistance and the sweat resistance are reduced when the adhesive layer is applied to the skin surface. On the other hand, when the amount of the alkyl methacrylate is less than 70% by weight, the change rate of the gel fraction before and after the irradiation with the ionizing radiation is 30%.
As described above, there is a possibility that a large change in characteristics occurs, and there is a risk of falling off during application to the skin surface. If the amount is more than 99% by weight, there is a tendency to cause pain or adhesive residue when peeled from the skin surface.

も粘着剤中のゲル分率の上昇が抑制されるのである。The irradiation dose is 20 to 50 kGy, preferably 25 to 35 kGy. In the present invention, the adhesive layer is sterilized by irradiation with ionizing radiation, and is also subjected to a crosslinking treatment. In the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of the present invention, since a methacrylic acid ester-based emulsion copolymer composed of a specific monomer composition is used, when irradiated with ionizing radiation, a crosslinking reaction occurs. Disruption of the molecular chain occurs in which the main chain of the molecule is cut. Therefore, in the present invention, the increase in the gel fraction in the pressure-sensitive adhesive is suppressed even when irradiation with ionizing radiation is performed.
