Definitions

  • PSA pressure sensitive adhesive
  • This disclosure relates to pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) articles, particularly those having a thin layer of a silicone-containing PSA between a layer of a conventional PSA and a substrate. Also described is a multilayer coating method in which two or more layers of fluids are coated on a substrate and to articles made using the method.
  • a fundamental characteristic of a coating process is the number of layers that can be applied per applicator.
  • Single layer coating processes employ applicators that can apply one coating layer at a time, that is, a single coating layer is applied per pass of a web past the applicator.
  • Multilayer coating processes employ applicators that can apply two or more coating layers at a time and are typically premetered processes in that all of the fluid fed to the applicator is applied to the web. Examples of multilayer coating processes include slot, extrusion, slide, and curtain coating processes.
  • the fluids can be coated using a single layer coating process such that the fluids are coated in series with each layer being dried, cured, etc. before the next one is applied. For reasons such as efficiency and cost, it is usually more desirable to employ multilayer coating processes in which the fluids are coated simultaneously onto the web.
  • Applicators used in multilayer coating processes can be designed to deliver a wide range of fluids, but this is typically not the case if the fluids are to be coated simultaneously. That is, for a given set of fluids to be coated simultaneously, the particular applicator and process conditions used in a multilayer coating process often dictate how different the fluids can be with respect to a particular property such as surface tension, viscosity, etc. Thus, there is a need for multilayer coating processes that are amenable to coating simultaneously fluids having properties that are very different from each other. There is also a need for multilayer coating processes that employ conventional multilayer coating applicators and are amenable to coating simultaneously fluids having properties that are very different from each other.
  • a multilayer coating method that can be used to coat simultaneously fluids onto a substrate.
  • the multilayer coating method includes: providing a first coating fluid comprising a first pressure sensitive adhesive; providing a second coating fluid comprising a second pressure sensitive adhesive, the second coating fluid having a surface tension that is greater than that of the first; moving a substrate along a path through a coating station; flowing the second coating fluid at a rate sufficient to form a continuous flowing layer to the substrate; flowing the first coating fluid onto the continuous flowing layer thereby forming a composite flowing layer; contacting the substrate with the composite flowing layer such that the first coating fluid is interposed between the continuous flowing layer and the substrate; and forming the continuous flowing layer into a film after the composite flowing layer contacts the substrate.
  • the method can be used to make an article comprising two layers of pressure sensitive adhesive: a first layer adjacent the substrate and comprising a first pressure sensitive adhesive that contains silicone, and a second layer adjacent the first layer and opposite the substrate, the second layer comprising a second pressure sensitive adhesive.
  • the first pressure sensitive adhesive may comprise a copolymer having a vinyl polymeric backbone with polysiloxane moieties grafted thereto.
  • the first layer may have a thickness of less than about 25 um.
  • the substrate may comprise a release liner such as a microstructured release liner having a microstructured surface that is adjacent the first layer.
  • a backing may be laminated to the second layer. When a backing is used, the substrate may be removed to form an article with an exposed first layer. This article can then be adhered to an object and temporarily repositioned until desired placement is achieved.
  • the article may be used as a protective film, a decorative film, a graphic art film, a privacy film, or a paint replacement film, to name but a few
  • the FIGURE shows a schematic of an exemplary multilayer coating method.
  • a multilayer coating method has been discovered that allows a user to coat simultaneously two fluids, one on top of the other, onto a substrate, even though the fluid that comprises the lower layer has a surface tension that is less than that of the fluid used to form the upper layer.
  • the multilayer coating method disclosed herein has numerous advantages over known multilayer coating methods. For one, the method is amenable to coating simultaneously fluids having properties that are very different from each other. The method is also amenable to coating simultaneously fluids having relative properties that fall outside of normally acceptable ranges. This allows a wider range of fluids that can be coated in a single pass operation, thus increasing manufacturing flexibility and reducing costs.
  • the method disclosed herein is also advantageous in that conventional multilayer coating applicators and apparatuses can be adapted to incorporate the method, i.e, special equipment is not needed.
  • Useful conventional multilayer coating operations include any of those known in the coating and extrusion arts, and in which two or more fluids are coated simultaneously or nearly simultaneously.
  • the method disclosed herein is advantageous over known methods because it can allow a user to coat at speeds faster than what is typically obtainable for a given set of coating conditions and materials.
  • coating speed is often limited because air entrapment occurs at the surface of the substrate between the substrate and the coating fluid. Air entrapment is especially problematic when the substrate surface has any sort of structure, for example, with a microstructured release liner having a microstructured surface.
  • the first coating fluid that directly contacts the substrate because it has a low surface tension, wets the substrate so that a thin, uniformly thick, layer is formed over the structure with little or no air entrapment.
  • the second coating fluid that forms the bulk pressure sensitive adhesive layer is then able to fill in the structure.
  • the method allows one to obtain pressure sensitive adhesive articles with a variety of adhesive properties using one set of coating fluids and, optionally, during the same coating operation. This can be accomplished by varying the thicknesses of the coated layers either individually or in combination.
  • the first layer can be used to impart properties to the article without affecting bulk properties of the second layer.
  • the first layer can be used to facilitate release of the first and second layers from the substrate, or to permit temporary repositionability. If thin enough, this first layer can have minimal effect on bulk adhesive properties of the second layer such that when applied to an object, the bulk adhesive properties of the second layer allow adhesion between the second layer and the object to build over time.
  • the method according to this disclosure can employ coating fluids having reduced amounts of solvent, thus reducing dry time, thereby minimizing drying defects and contamination due to airborne contaminants.
  • the method can be used to manufacture articles exhibiting minimal coating defects or instabilities resulting from imperfect wetting of a coating fluid on a substrate and in the form of ribbing, chatter, streaks, transverse waves, herringbone, bands, barring, bead breaks, weeping, and rivulates that appear as alternating stripes of coated and uncoated areas.
  • Multilayer coating applicator 10 comprises upstream bar 12 , wedge bar 14 , and downstream bar 16 , and which are juxtaposed to form cavities such as slots or channels within the applicator.
  • First and second coating fluids, 18 and 20 are supplied by individual pumps (not shown) to the applicator for application to substrate 22 .
  • the second coating fluid flows from the applicator and forms continuous flowing layer 26 in the region between the applicator and the point at which the first and second liquids contact the substrate.
  • the first coating fluid flows from the applicator and onto the continuous flowing layer in the form of first coating layer 24 which may be continuous or discontinuous.
  • the substrate is continuously moved through the coating station, in the direction shown by the arrow, on the peripheral surface of backup roller 28 by a conveyance means (not shown).
  • a composite flowing layer comprises the continuous flowing layer and the first coating layer.
  • the first and second coated layers, 30 and 32 , respectively, on substrate 22 comprise multilayer coated article 34 .
  • the multilayer coating applicator shown in the FIGURE is a type of extrusion applicator, particularly referred to as a slotted die applicator or coater with the fluids being fed in a pre-metered fashion through adjustable slots.
  • Slotted die coaters typically have one slot for coating a fluid situated near and about parallel to a second slot for coating a second fluid with the orifaces located near the moving substrate. The flow of each fluid through the respective slots can be controlled with shims.
  • Use of this type of applicator is disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,759,274; 5,639,305; 5,741,549; 6,720,025 B2; and 7,097,673 B2.
  • any type of multilayer coating applicator may be used to carry out the multilayer coating method disclosed herein provided it can deliver two different fluids in contact with one another, with at least one layer being provided as a continuously flowing layer, and with the fluids being coatable on a substrate at the same time or nearly the same time.
  • the multilayer coating applicator delivers both fluids in a pre-metered fashion.
  • Useful applicators are described, for example, in Cohen, E. and Gutoff, E. Modern Coating and Drying Technology ; VCH Publishers: New York, 1992; and in Liquid Film Coating ; Kistler, S. F. and Schweizer, P. M., Eds.; Chapman & Hall: London, 1997. These references also describe useful designs for coating apparatuses that may be employed.
  • a composite flowing layer is formed by flowing a second coating fluid at a rate sufficient to form a continuous flowing layer to a substrate, followed by flowing a first coating fluid onto the continuous flowing layer.
  • the composite flowing layer is then deposited onto the substrate as it passes through a coating station with the first coating fluid interposed between the continuous flowing layer and the substrate.
  • the first coating fluid has a surface tension that is lower than that of the second.
  • the continuous flowing layer is formed into a film after the composite flowing layer contacts the substrate.
  • the continuous flowing layer is formed by flowing the second coating fluid at some minimum rate or higher that allows the second coating fluid to achieve sufficient velocity and break cleanly from the applicator.
  • the continuous flowing layer is visible as a free jet being expelled from the applicator, usually over a predetermined width depending on the width of the substrate.
  • the minimum rate required to jet the second coating fluid in this manner depends on a variety of factors including fluid properties such as surface tension, viscosity, density, modulus of elasticity, and rheological properties. Other factors include the design of the applicator, for example, dimensions of the slot or channel through which the fluid flows, the angle at which the fluid exits the applicator, the distance between the applicator and the substrate, and the angle of approach of the continuous flowing layer with respect to the substrate. Additional factors to consider are substrate (line) speed and whether or not vacuum is applied.
  • a dry coating weight per unit area for the second layer is initially targeted and correlated to a desired wet coating weight per unit area, or desired coating weight per unit area of the layer before any solvent has evaporated.
  • desired wet coating weight per unit area or desired coating weight per unit area of the layer before any solvent has evaporated.
  • Dry and wet coating thicknesses may also be used, although densities of dry coatings are typically limited.
  • this window can limit the wet coating weight per unit area that is coatable depending on the particular applicator and the factors described above.
  • This window of operability is used to determine the actual coating weight per unit area for the second coating fluid and the parameters used to set up the coating process. Accordingly, the concentration of components in the second coating fluid can also be varied.
  • the flow rate used to form the continuous flowing layer is typically greater than about 1.5 mL per second per centimeter of jet width.
  • the minimum coating gap is greater than the wet thickness of the second coating layer.
  • the composite flowing layer is formed by flowing the first coating fluid onto the continuous flowing layer.
  • the continuous flowing layer acts as a sort of substrate layer for the first coating fluid.
  • the composite flowing layer must also flow at a rate high enough for it to achieve sufficient velocity as described above. Therefore, the properties of the first coating fluid as well as its coating parameters must also be taken into account when determining the parameters used to coat the second coating fluid.
  • the first coating fluid can be flowed onto the continuous flowing layer in some continuous or discontinuous fashion, such that it wets the continuous layer to whatever extent is necessary depending on the particular article being manufactured. That is, for articles in which coating uniformity and continuity of the first coating layer are important, it is desirable for the first coating fluid to completely and uniformly wet the continuous flowing layer. For some articles, discontinuities in the first coating layer are tolerable or even desirable, such that some degree of incomplete wetting or dewetting is tolerable or even desirable. Generally, for coating the first coating fluid, a window of operability as described for the second coating fluid also exists.
  • the substrate is contacted with the composite flowing layer such that the continuous flowing layer and the first coating layer are coated simultaneously or substantially simultaneously.
  • the first coating layer does not contact the substrate unless accompanied by the continuous flowing layer.
  • the continuous flowing layer may or may not contact the substrate depending on whether or not the first coating layer is continuous or discontinuous.
  • the individual fluid layers of the composite flowing layer can impinge on the substrate with little or no mixing such that the distinct properties of the layers are maintained. If this is desired, turbulence in the individual layers should be minimized if the interfacial tensions are low or if the layers are miscible. If there is high interfacial tension, some turbulence may occur without disrupting the interface.
  • the substrate is moved through the coating station at a speed sufficient to allow an economically productive manufacturing rate and provide a stable coating without instabilities.
  • the speed is maintained at a rate that minimizes liquid leakage (such as what can occur at low substrate speed) or air entertainment (such as what can occur at high substrate speed).
  • the speed at which the substrate is moved also referred to as the coating speed, depends on a variety of factors which define the window of operability as described above.
  • the first coating fluid comprises a first pressure sensitive adhesive and optional additional components depending on the desired properties of the first layer.
  • the properties of the first layer may be designed so that it functions as a release layer, facilitating separation of the second layer from the substrate with little or no damage to the second layer.
  • the properties of the first layer may also be designed so that an article with a backing adhered to the second layer is temporarily repositionable. In practice, it is extremely difficult to achieve precise positioning of an adhesive article on an object once the two are in contact. Bubbles, wrinkles, etc. are also commonplace when the two are adhered. Attempts to correct any of these problems often results in damage to the article or at least to the adhesive layer.
  • the first layer is designed to impart temporary repositionability to the article with little or no change in bulk adhesive properties of the second layer. This may be evidenced by low initial peel adhesion (bond strength) of the article to the object, followed by increasing peel adhesion over time. For example, it may be useful for an article to exhibit an initial peel adhesion that is lower by about 20% or more relative to an article without the first layer.
  • the first layer can also be designed to keep the second layer from sticking to itself once the substrate is removed.
  • pressure sensitive adhesives are well known to one of ordinary skill in the art to possess properties including the following: (1) permanent tack, (2) adherence to an adherend with no more than finger pressure, (3) sufficient ability to hold onto an adherend, and (4) sufficient cohesive strength to be cleanly removable from the adherend.
  • Materials that have been found to function well as pressure sensitive adhesives are polymers designed and formulated to exhibit the requisite viscoelastic properties resulting in a desired balance of tack, peel adhesion, and shear holding power. Obtaining the proper balance of properties is not a simple process.
  • the first pressure sensitive adhesive generally comprises a polymeric and/or oligomeric adhesive prepared by polymerizing one or more monomers.
  • the first pressure sensitive adhesive may comprise silicone.
  • silicones include those described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,527,578; U.S. Pat. No. 5,858,545; and WO 00/02966, all incorporated herein by reference. Specific examples include polydiorganosiloxane polyurea copolymers and blends thereof, such as those described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,007,914, incorporated herein by reference, and polysiloxane-polyalkylene block copolymers. Other examples of silicones include silanols, silicone hydrides, siloxanes, epoxides, and (meth)acrylates.
  • the first pressure sensitive adhesive may also comprise a fluorochemical.
  • the first pressure sensitive adhesive may comprise a silicone-containing pressure sensitive adhesive.
  • silicone-containing pressure sensitive adhesives include copolymers comprising a vinyl polymeric backbone having polysiloxane moieties grafted thereto as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,693,935, incorporated herein by reference.
  • the copolymer may optionally comprise a B monomer.
  • the A monomer may comprise at least one free radically polymerizable monomer and may be selected such that a tacky or tackifiable material is obtained upon polymerization of the A monomer, or the A monomer and the B monomer if the latter is used.
