Abstract
Disclosed is a release material applied to a sheet material that provides for temporary repositioning of an adhesive over the release material. Over time the adhesion between the release material and the applied adhesive builds such that the adhesive cannot be removed from the release material without damaging the underlying sheet material. The release material includes an free nitrogen containing basic group. The release material is dispersed on a flexible substrate and the release material allows for repositioning when contacted with a pressure sensitive adhesive, which includes a free carboxylic acid group, for at least 1 minute and not more than 10 minutes.
Claims12
A sheet material comprising:
- a flexible paper or nonwoven substrate;
- a polysiloxane release material that includes a free nitrogen containing basic group, wherein the release material is dispersed on the flexible substrate;
- wherein the release material allows for repositioning when contacted with a pressure sensitive adhesive comprising a poly(meth)acrylate containing a carboxylic acid functional monomer, for at least 1 minute and not more than 10 minutes when the pressure sensitive adhesive was adhered to the release material with one pass of a 2.2 kg roller.
A gift wrap comprising:
- a paper at least partially containing printed indicia and coated with a polysiloxane release material including a free nitrogen containing basic group whereby release failure occurs only after at least 5 minutes of continual contact of a pressure sensitive adhesive comprising a poly(meth)acrylate containing a carboxylic acid functional monomer with the release material when the pressure sensitive adhesive was adhered to the release material with one pass of a 2.2 kg roller.
A sheet material comprising:
- a flexible paper or nonwoven sheet having a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface;
- a release material selected from the group consisting of a polysiloxane-acrylate block or graft copolymers, polysilioxane-urea copolymers, and polysiloxane-urethane copolymers containing at least one basic group selected from the group consisting of N-vinyl pyrrolidone, urea, and urethane, wherein the release material is on the first major surface;
- a pressure sensitive adhesive tape comprising an adhesive comprising a poly(meth)acrylate containing a carboxylic acid functional monomer;
- wherein the adhesive tape is repositionable upon contact with release material on the first major surface of the flexible sheet for at least 1 minute and not more than 10 minutes when the pressure sensitive adhesive was adhered to the release material with one pass of a 2.2 kg roller.
A method of applying an adhesive to a flexible paper or non-woven substrate comprising:
- providing a pressure sensitive adhesive comprising a poly(meth)acrylate containing a carboxylic acid functional monomer;
- providing a polysiloxane release material including a free nitrogen containing basic group disposed on the flexible paper or non-woven substrate;
- contacting the pressure sensitive adhesive continually with the release material for at least 1 minute;
- optionally repositioning the pressure sensitive adhesive following at least 1 minute;
- contacting the pressure sensitive adhesive continually with the release material for at least 10 minutes, whereby release failure occurs only after at least 5 minutes of continual contact of the pressure sensitive adhesive with the release material when the pressure sensitive adhesive was adhered to the release material with one pass of a 2.2 kg roller.
