Estimating the term…
An adherable element is disclosed, comprising a decorative element having a support surface, and a pressure activated adhesive system pre-coated on the support surface of the decorative element for adhering the decorative element to a surface, the adhesive remaining uncured until activated by application of a threshold pressure. The adhesive comprises a matrix comprising a hardener and a plurality of microcapsules filled with an adhesive resin, the microcapsules being configured to rupture on application of the threshold pressure, thereby exposing the resin to the matrix and allowing the resin to react with the hardener to form an adhesive bond between the decorative element and the surface. The matrix may further comprise a rheology additive such that the matrix has a higher viscosity than the hardener at room temperature. Methods of making an adherable element, and decorative articles comprising the adherable element are also disclosed.
