Abstract
Provided is an outdoor facing system and method is for re-facing an object. The outdoor re-facing system includes a plasticized facing layer, the facing layer having an exterior surface. The outdoor re-facing system includes an interior surface and an adhesive layer comprising a pressure-sensitive adhesive resistant to plasticizer migration, the adhesive layer having a first surface attached to the interior surface of the facing layer and a second surface for adhering the re-facing system to the re-facing object.
Claims20
An outdoor facing system for a re-facing object, the system comprising:
- a plasticized facing layer, the facing layer having an exterior surface and an interior surface;
- and
- an adhesive layer comprising a pressure-sensitive adhesive resistant to plasticizer migration, the adhesive layer having a first surface attached to the interior surface of the facing layer and a second surface for adhering the re-facing system to the re-facing object, wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive prevents migration of plasticizer through the pressure-sensitive adhesive into the re-facing object, and wherein the pressure sensitive adhesive is a self-cross-linking polymer with crosslink density between 2% and 80%.
A method of using an outdoor re-facing system to re-face a re-facing object, the system including a facing layer having an exterior surface and an interior surface, an adhesive layer having a first surface attached to the interior facing layer surface and a second surface comprising a pressure-sensitive adhesive, the method comprising:
- placing the second adhesive layer surface of the adhesive layer in direct contact with a desired location on the re-facing object;
- and
- applying pressure to the exterior facing layer surface of the re-facing system to adhere the re-facing system to the re-facing object by the pressure-sensitive adhesive of the adhesive layer, wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive prevents migration of plasticizer through the pressure-sensitive adhesive into the re-facing object, and wherein the pressure sensitive adhesive is a self-cross-linking polymer with crosslink density between 2% and 80%.
