Abstract
Curable silicone pressure sensitive adhesive compositions and films suitable for sealing and adhering substrates for optically clear electronic devices are described. The curable silicone pressure sensitive adhesive compositions are suitable as films or encapsulants for adhering electronic devices, e.g., LCD display, LED display, flexible display, touch screen, and flexible thin film photovoltaic module.
Claims4
A UV-curable silicone pressure sensitive adhesive composition comprising a mixture of:
- (a) 95 to 99.999 wt % of a reaction product in an organic solvent of:
- (i) methacryloxypropyldimethoxy terminated polydimethylsiloxane polymer;
- (ii) hydroxyl functional silicone resin;
- and
- (iii) a terminal or pendant (meth)acrylate or methoxyl functionalized polydimethylsiloxane polymer or oligomer;
- (iv) an acid or a base catalyst that has a pKa value equal to or less than −6 or equal to or greater than 15;
- (b) 0.001 to 5 wt % of a radical initiator;
- and
- (c) optionally, a silicone resin or a polydimethylsiloxane polymer or oligomer;
- and
- wherein the cured adhesive has a transmittance, measured in accordance with ASTM E903 at 500 nm, of greater than 90%;
- and
- wherein the cured adhesive has a T-peel adhesion of greater than 15 oz/in, measured in accordance with ASTM D1876, between PET substrates;
- and 180 peel adhesion greater than 25 oz/in, measured in accordance with PSTC 101, between PET and stainless steel panel.
