Abstract
Abstract Self-adhesive coatings are produced on sheet materials in a simple and particularly trouble-free manner by applying to said materials mixtures of 1. acrylic ester copolymers containing polymerized units of unsaturated carboxylic acids or hydroxyl-containing vinyl monomers in addition to polymerized units of higher alkyl acrylates, 2. melamine/formaldehyde resins and, optionally, 3. solvents for components (1) and (2), And evaporating off any solvents.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
143 words
A process for the production of self-adhesive coatings by applying thin films of self-adhesive polyacrylates to the surface of flat substrates which comprises applying to said surface a mixture of A. a copolymer of a. from 0.3 to 10% w/w of a C 3-5 mono-olefinically unsaturated mono- or di-carboxylic acid or a vinyl monomer containing at least one hydroxyl group with b. up to 99.7% w/w of an alkyl acrylate having C 6-12 alkyl groups, c. from 0 to 60% w/w of mono-olefinically unsaturated C 4-7 carboxylates and d. from 0 to 10% w/w of other olefinically unsaturated monomers; B. from 0.5 to 8% by weight of the weight of copolymer (A) of melamine/formaldehyde resins, the molar ratio of melamine to formaldehyde in the melamine/formaldehyde resin being from 1:3 to 1:6 and heating the coating to a temperature of at least 50° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
143 words
A process for the production of self-adhesive coatings by applying thin films of self-adhesive polyacrylates to the surface of flat substrates which comprises applying to said surface a mixture of A. a copolymer of a. from 0.3 to 10% w/w of a C 3-5 mono-olefinically unsaturated mono- or di-carboxylic acid or a vinyl monomer containing at least one hydroxyl group with b. up to 99.7% w/w of an alkyl acrylate having C 6-12 alkyl groups, c. from 0 to 60% w/w of mono-olefinically unsaturated C 4-7 carboxylates and d. from 0 to 10% w/w of other olefinically unsaturated monomers; B. from 0.5 to 8% by weight of the weight of copolymer (A) of melamine/formaldehyde resins, the molar ratio of melamine to formaldehyde in the melamine/formaldehyde resin being from 1:3 to 1:6 and heating the coating to a temperature of at least 50° C.
