Abstract

UV-initiated crosslinking technology is well established in the market and allows the production of a wide range of ultraviolet (UV)-crosslinkable pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA) with interesting features. The balance between such properties as adhesive and cohesive strengths within the crosslinked self-adhesive coatings is critical for their performance. The UV crosslinking of acrylic PSA, especially for following properties: tack, peel adhesion, and shear strength of self-adhesive polymer layers, has been investigated using UV excimer-laser and UV lamp as UV sources. It was observed that after UV crosslinking of acrylic PSA using excimer-laser in comparison with typical UV lamp, high-quality PSA products with excellent properties, such as tack, peel adhesion, shear strength, and shrinkage were received.
