Release liners are part of a composite made of a label with its own adhesive on a release liner or carrier with its own release coating. The label comprises either a synthetic face stock such as polypropylene or paper. The adhesive is usually an organic material such as a polyacrylate or polyisoprene based rubber. The release liner can be made from various substrates treated with a suitable pro...

Water-based pressure sensitive adhesives are typically latex suspensions and are often coated onto silicone-coated paper prior to being contacted with the face stock. It is necessary to control drying conditions to achieve low residual moisture in the PSA without formation of defects, and mathematical models can be effective tools to determine appropriate drying conditions. We will present two ...

Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are the major source of stickies in paper recycling. It is desirable that the PSA not break down into very small pieces during repulping so that it can be screened out. However, it is not clear in the literature what mechanical properties of PSAs are required to make PSAs screenable. In this study, the screenability of a range of PSAs was evaluated. The hydro...

The influence of addition cleaned granite dust on self-adhesive products, such as tapes based silicone pressure-sensitive adhesives was presented. new way waste management, is a very important issue in the modern world. obtained materials were tested both terms properties adhesive compositions (pot-life test) well operational parameters tapes, adhesion, cohesion, stickiness or shrinkage. result...
