Pressure sensitive adhesive composition
View Patent ↗The present invention has its object to provide a pressure sensitive adhesive composition which can be applied using no organic solvent or using almost no organic solvent and which manifests excellent pressure sensitive adhesion characteristics. This object can be achieved by a pressure sensitive adhesive composition which comprises, as essential constituents, the following: (A) an oxyalkylene polymer containing 0.3 to 0.7 equivalent of a hydrolyzable silyl group in each molecule and having a number average molecular weight of 15,000 to 100,000 (hydrolyzable silyl group-containing polymer); (B) a tackifier resin; (C) a curing catalyst.
1. A pressure sensitive adhesive composition which comprises the following components (A), (B) and (C):
(A) an oxyalkylene polymer containing 0.3 to 0.7 equivalent of a hydrolyzable silyl group in each molecule and having a number average molecular weight of 20,000 to 50,000 (hereinafter, “hydrolyzable silyl group-containing polymer”);
(B) a tackifier resin;
(C) a curing catalyst;
wherein the compounding ratio of the tackifier resin (B) is 5 to 80 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the polymer (A).
2. The pressure sensitive adhesive composition according to claim 1
wherein the Mw/Mn (molecular weight distribution) of the hydrolyzable silyl group-containing polymer (A) is not wider than 1.6.
3. The pressure sensitive adhesive composition according to claim 2
wherein the hydrolyzable silyl group in the hydrolyzable silyl group-containing polymer (A) is represented by the following general formula (I);
—SiX a R 2 3-a (I)
wherein, R 2 represents a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent organic group containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms, X represents a hydrolyzable group, and a represents 1, 2 or 3.
4. The pressure sensitive adhesive composition according to claim 1
wherein the hydrolyzable silyl group in the hydrolyzable silyl group-containing polymer (A) is represented by the following general fonnula (I);
—SiX a R 2 3-a (I)
wherein, R 2 represents a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent organic group containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms, X represents a hydrolyzable group, and a represents 1, 2 or 3.
