Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
Plasticized polyvinyl chloride substrates coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive composition comprising 25-40% by weight of a vinyl ester of a alkanoic acid; 10 to 30% by weight ethylene; 20 to 30% by weight of di-2-ethylhexyl maleate or fumarate; 20 to 30% by weight 2-ethylhexyl acrylate and 1 to 5% by weight of a mono-carboxylic acid; wherein the adhesive is prepared using semi-batch emulsion polymerization techniques and wherein 50 to 75% of the maleate or fumarate monomer is charged initally with all the ethylene and vinyl ester and wherein the remaining maleate or fumarate is added incrementally over the course of the polymerization with the acrylate and monocarboxylic acid monomers.
