Abstract
Abstract Pressure-activated adhesive that is a copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile or methacrylonitrile. The copolymer has a single glass transition temperature of no higher than about -25° C., a nitrile content of no greater than about 31%, preferably of from about 18% by weight to about 30% by weight, a Mooney viscosity of at least 95 (measured according to ASTM D1646-87 at 100° C. for 4 minutes), preferably from about 120 to about 150. The copolymer is not cross-linked, and the amount of vinyl groups in the copolymer should not exceed 10% by weight. The adhesive can be used to form an adhesive layer of an adhesive tape.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
An adhesive composition comprising an amorphous butadiene-nitrile random copolymer having a single glass transition temperature no higher than about -25° C., a nitrile content no higher than about 31% by weight, a Mooney viscosity of at least 95 (measured according to ASTM D1646-87 at 100° C. for 4 minutes), a vinyl content of no greater than 10% by weight, said composition being substantially free of cross-links, provided that said composition is free of any additive that provides more than little or no finger tack or that adversely affects the cohesive and adhesive strength of the adhesive composition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
97 words
An adhesive composition comprising an amorphous butadiene-nitrile random copolymer having a single glass transition temperature no higher than about -25° C., a nitrile content no higher than about 31% by weight, a Mooney viscosity of at least 95 (measured according to ASTM D1646-87 at 100° C. for 4 minutes), a vinyl content of no greater than 10% by weight, said composition being substantially free of cross-links, provided that said composition is free of any additive that provides more than little or no finger tack or that adversely affects the cohesive and adhesive strength of the adhesive composition.
