Abstract
An adhesive composition comprises at least a binder polymer and a water-soluble plasticizer. The binder polymer may be present in a range of about 10% to about 60% by weight of the adhesive composition, and the plasticizer may be present in the range of about 5% to about 85% by weight of the adhesive composition, such as in the range of about 40% to about 80% by weight. In some aspects, the adhesive also comprises less than 10% by weight highly-volatile component, such as about 0% to about 5% by weight. The adhesive composition can be utilized in a variety of articles, including personal care articles, health/medical articles, and household/industrial articles.
Claims27
An adhesive composition comprising a binder polymer and a water-soluble plasticizer;
- wherein said binder polymer includes about 15-99.8% by weight of monoethylenically unsaturated polymer units;
- about 0.1-20% by weight polyacrylate ester units that include an alkoxysilane functionality;
- and about 0.1-75% by weight polymer units selected from polyolefin glycol units, polyolefin oxide units, or combinations thereof.
An adhesive composition comprising a binder polymer and a water-soluble plasticizer;
- wherein said binder polymer is made by combining a first aqueous monomer solution including a reducing polymerization initiator with a second aqueous monomer solution including an oxidizing polymerization initiator;
- wherein said first aqueous monomer solution further includes a monoethylenically unsaturated monomer and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer that contains an alkoxysilane functionality;
- wherein said second aqueous monomer solution includes a monoethylenically unsaturated monomer;
- and
- wherein said reducing polymerization initiator and said oxidizing polymerization initiator react to form said binder polymer.
