Use of hydroxyalkylphenone-type photoinitiators in radiation-curable organopolysiloxanes for producing abhesive coatings
View Patent ↗The present invention provides for the use of radiation-curable coating compositions comprising at least one radiation-curable organopolysiloxane having (meth)acrylic ester groups and a photoinitiator, wherein said photoinitiator includes at least one compound of the general formula in which R 1 is a linear or branched alkyl radical having 3 to 18 carbon atoms, preferably 4 to 12 carbon atoms, R 2 is an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, preferably hydrogen, R 3 , R 4 are alkyl radicals having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, which may also have been linked to form a 5- or 6-membered carbon ring or one of these radicals may also be hydrogen, and R 5 is an alkyl or alkanoyl radical, preferably hydrogen; for preparing adhesive coating materials and producing adhesive coatings.
1. A self-adhesive tape with a backing comprising a web material which is at least partially coated with an adhesive coating obtained by curing a radiation curable coating composition comprising at least one radiation-curable organo-polysiloxane having (meth)acrylic ester groups and at least one photoinitiator, wherein at least one of the photoinitiator(s) is a compound of the general formula (I)
R 1 is a linear or branched alkyl radical having 4 to 12 carbon atoms,
R 2 is H or an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms,
R 3 , R 4 are H or alkyl radicals, which may also have been linked to form a 5- or 6-membered carbon ring, and
R 5 is H or an alkyl or alkanoyl radical.
2. The web material according to claim 1 , which is made of plastic, metal or paper.
3. A process of applying an adhesive coating on a web material to form the self-adhesive tape of claim 1 which comprise applying a radiation curable organopolysiloxane having methacrylate ester groups containing a photoinitiator to web materials made of plastic, metal or paper and to pass the resulting material through an UV curing unit, wherein the at least one photoinitiator is a compound of the general formula (I)
in which
R 1 is a linear or branched alkyl radical having 4 to 12 carbon atoms,
R 2 is H or an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms,
R 3 , R 4 are H or alkyl radicals, which may also have been linked to form a 5- or 6-membered carbon ring, and
R 5 is H or an alkyl or alkanoyl radical.
4. The process of claim 3 , wherein at least one of the photoiniator(s) is a compound of the general formula (I) wherein R 2 , R 5 =H.
5. The process of claim 3 , wherein at least one of the photoinitiator(s) is a compound of the general formula (I) in which R 3 , R 4 =CH 3 .
6. The process of claim 3 , wherein at least one of the photoinitiator(s) of the general formula (I) is present in amounts of from about 0.01 to about 10% by weight, based on the weight of the acrylate-functional silicone component.
7. The process of claim 3 , which comprise a second photoinitiator not of the general formula (I), wherein the two photoinitiators are present in amounts of from about 0.1 to about 5% by weight, based on the weight of the acrylate-functional silicone compositions.
