Abstract

Abstract This invention relates to relatively thick pressure sensitive adhesive films comprising a homogeneous mixture based on 100% of the solids weight of the adhesive film, (i) at least 20 weight % of a low molecular weight resin produced by the polymerization and hydrogenation of styrenic monomer feedstock having a ring and ball softening point of about 10°-45° C., (ii) from about 2 to about 40 weight % of a triblock copolymer with a saturated elastomeric block in the center and a thermoplastic block on each end alone or in combination with a diblock copolymer of a hard thermoplastic block and a saturated, soft ethylene-propylene polymeric block, and (iii) up to about 80 weight % of a mineral oil.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 130 words
Adhesive films, at least 1 mil thick, comprising an essentially homogeneous mixture containing, based on 100% of the solids weight of the adhesive, (i) at least 20 weight % of a low molecular weight resin produced by the polymerization and hydrogenation of styrenic monomer feedstock having a ring and ball softening point of about 10°-45° C., (ii) from about 2 to about 40 weight % of a triblock copolymer of an ethylene-1-butylene copolymer elastomer containing polystyrene end polymer groups having a styrene polymer or oligomer block to ethylene-butylene rubber block weight ratio of about 0.45 to about 0.55 alone or in combination with a diblock copolymer of a hard thermoplastic block and a saturated, soft ethylene-propylene polymeric block, and (iii) up to about 80 weight % of a mineral oil.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 130 words
Adhesive films, at least 1 mil thick, comprising an essentially homogeneous mixture containing, based on 100% of the solids weight of the adhesive, (i) at least 20 weight % of a low molecular weight resin produced by the polymerization and hydrogenation of styrenic monomer feedstock having a ring and ball softening point of about 10°-45° C., (ii) from about 2 to about 40 weight % of a triblock copolymer of an ethylene-1-butylene copolymer elastomer containing polystyrene end polymer groups having a styrene polymer or oligomer block to ethylene-butylene rubber block weight ratio of about 0.45 to about 0.55 alone or in combination with a diblock copolymer of a hard thermoplastic block and a saturated, soft ethylene-propylene polymeric block, and (iii) up to about 80 weight % of a mineral oil.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 55 words
The adhesive film of claim 1 wherein the adhesive film is a fashion adhesive film and the low molecular weight resin comprises at least 75 weight % of the adhesive film and the triblock copolymer alone or in combination with the diblock copolymer comprises about 2 to about 10 weight % of the adhesive film.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 20 words
The adhesive film of claim 2 wherein the mineral oil comprises less than 30 weight % of the adhesive film.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 22 words
The adhesive film of claim 3 wherein the mineral oil comprises about 2 to about 20 weight % of the adhesive film.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 26 words
The adhesive film of claim 3 wherein the mineral oil has a viscosity of about 200 to about 1,200 Saybolt Universal seconds, determined at 38° C.
