Definitions

  • This invention relates to polydiorganosiloxane polyurea segmented copolymers and a process for making the same.
  • Pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes have been used for more than half a century for a variety of marking, holding, protecting, sealing and masking purposes.
  • Pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes comprise a backing, or substrate, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive.
  • Pressure-sensitive adhesives are materials which adhere with no more than applied finger pressure and are aggressively and permanently tacky. Pressure-sensitive adhesives require no activation, exert a strong holding force and tend to be removable from a smooth surface without leaving a residue.
  • interesting pressure-sensitive adhesives are silicone based adhesives.
  • polydiorganosiloxane pressure-sensitive adhesives have been made in solution.
  • Conventional solvent based polydiorganosiloxane pressure-sensitive adhesives are generally blends of high molecular weight silanol functional
  • polydiorganosiloxanes i.e., polydiorganosiloxane gums
  • copolymeric silanol functional silicate resin i.e., MQ resins, which comprise R 3 SiO 1/2 units and SiO 4/2 units.
  • MQ resins which comprise R 3 SiO 1/2 units and SiO 4/2 units.
  • polydiorganosiloxane resin and polydiorganosiloxane are intercondensed, providing intra- and inter-condensation within the adhesive.
  • This condensation step requires 1) the addition of a catalyst, 2) reacting the copolymeric polydiorganosiloxane resin and polydiorganosiloxane in solution , and 3) allowing the reaction to take place over a period of time at elevated temperature.
  • Solutions of intercondensed polydiorganosiloxane pressure-sensitive adhesives are generally applied to a backing, heated to remove solvent, and crosslinked, if necessary, to improve physical properties. If crosslinking is needed, peroxide catalysts are commonly used. Disadvantages of solution applied polydiorganosiloxane pressure- sensitive adhesives include the need for elaborate drying ovens to remove solvent, and if crosslinking is required, ovens which operate at temperatures greater than 140°C are needed to initiate diaryl peroxide crosslinking catalysts. Such high oven temperatures limit the substrates useful in making pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes to those which can withstand the elevated temperatures.
  • pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes are used for many different applications in the hospital and health areas, but basically they perform one of two functions. They are used to restrict movement, such as in various strapping applications, or they are used to hold something in place, such as a wound dressing. It is important in each function that the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape be compliant with and non-irritating to the skin and adhere well to the skin without causing skin damage on removal.
  • pressure-sensitive adhesives have been used in transdermal patch adjations as drug transport membranes or to attach drug transport membranes to skin. Although there is continued development of new drugs and the need for different transport rates of existing drugs, pressure-sensitive adhesives are still needed that can transport such drugs at various rates. Furthermore, there is a continuing need to adhere new drug transport membrances to skin during a treatment period.
  • Corrosion protection materials must be delivered in a conformable form for optimal performance.
  • the ability of pressure-sensitive adhesives to instantly attach to exposed surfaces is very useful for applying protective constructions and for convenient repair of breached protective coatings associated with steel pipelines and related structures subject to corrosion. In these and related applications, the material must not readily flow or be easily rubbed off.
  • Some of the properties of commercially available silicones are known to provide some degree of corrosion protection.
  • Dual wall heat shrink tubes generally are coextruded tubes of polyolefin (the shrinkable sleeve) and EVA (for hot melt sealing). Use of these products is limited by the rheology of the hot melt.
  • High temperature heat shrink tubes are generally made of fluorinated materials. Hotmelts used in dual wall heat shrink can be of a wide range of materials, as described in US Patent No. 4,509,820. However, no hotmelt adhesive with satisfactory flow and temperature stability has been identified for use at the shrink temperature of high temperature tubing.
  • Preformed pavement marking materials include pavement marking sheet materials and raised pavement markers that are used as highway and pedestrian crosswalk markings. They are often reflective and strategically oriented to enhance reflective efficiency when illuminated by vehicle headlamps at night.
  • the marking materials must adhere to a variety of surfaces such as concrete or asphalt, that may be cold, hot, oily, damp, rough or smooth.
  • Present pavement marking adhesive generally have inadequate initial bonding or inadequate permanent bonding to roadway surfaces that are illustrated by five problem areas: (1) limited adhesive tack at cold temperatures resulting in a narrow application window, (2) reduced durability under shear or impact causing difficult removal of temporary markings, (3) low molecular weight fractions in the adhesives on removable markings that stain light colored concrete surfaces, (4) limited ductility allowing raised markers to sometimes shatter upon impact by vehicle tires and (5) insufficient elasticity to fill in gaps between markers and rough road surfaces, thus often leading to premature detachment of the marker from the roadway surface.
  • Hot melt adhesives are compositions that can be used to bond nonadhereing surfaces together into a composite. During application to a substrate, hot melt adhesives should be sufficiently fluid to wet the surface completely and leave no voids, even if the surface is rough. Consequently, the adhesive must be low in viscosity at the time of application. However, the bonding adhesive generally sets into a solid to develop sufficient cohesive strength to remain adhered to the substrate under stressful conditions.
  • the transition from fluid to solid may be accomplished in several ways.
  • the hot melt adhesive may be thermoplastic that softens and melts when heated and becomes hard again when cooled. Such heating results in sufficiently high fluidity to achieve successful wetting.
  • the hot melt adhesive may be dissolved in a solvent or carrier that lowers the viscosity of the adhesive sufficiently to permit satisfactory wetting and raised the adhesive viscosity when the solvent or carrier is removed. Such an adhesive can be heat activated, if necessary.
  • Damping is the dissipation of mechanical energy as heat by a material in contact with the source of that energy.
  • the temperature range and frequency range over which damping occurs can be quite broad, depending upon the particular application. For instance, for damping in tall buildings that experience wind sway or seismic vibrations, the frequency range can go to as low as about 0.1 Hertz (Hz) up to about 10 Hz. Higher frequency damping applications can be those such as for computer disk drives (on the order of 1000 Hz) or higher frequency applications (10,000 Hz).
  • viscoelastic materials consist of single components or polymer blends. Since presently known single component viscoelastic materials perform over fairly narrow temperature ranges, conventional solutions to wide temperature variations incorporate multiple layers of viscoelastic material, with each layer being optimized for a different temperature range.

  • the substrate may be made of a low surface energy material such as, for example, TEFLONTM and polyolefins.

  • Vibration damping compositions of the present invention have wide utility for minimizing adverse vibration in constrained layer damping treatments as well as minimizing adverse wind sway and seismic influences in buildings subject to wide temperature and humidity variations.

Strips of the adhesive were cut from the film, wrapped around a twisted connection between two copper wires, and inserted into an expanded THVTM heat shrink tube (3M Co.). A standard heat shrink oven was used to shrink the outer tube, which caused the adhesive to flow around the wires and seal the connection. The test pieces were immersed in 5 wt% salt water and attached to a 50 volt power supply, as specified in the Initial Current Leakage Test (ICLT), Military Specificaiton 23053.
