Abstract

The invention relates to a pressure-sensitive adhesive. Provision is made for this pressure-sensitive adhesive to comprise (a) a first layer of a first polyacrylate pressure-sensitive adhesive containing at least 50% by weight, based on the first polyacrylate pressure-sensitive adhesive, of an acrylic and/or methacrylic ester of the formula CH 2 ═CH(R 1 )(COOR 2 ); (b) a second layer comprising (b1) a polyacrylate containing at least 50% by weight, based on the polyacrylate, of an acrylic and/or methacrylic ester of the formula CH 2 ═CH(R 1 )(COOR 2 , and (b2) at least 15% by weight, based on the second layer, of chalk; and (c) a third layer of a second polyacrylate pressure-sensitive adhesive containing at least 50% by weight, based on the second polyacrylate pressure-sensitive adhesive, of an acrylic and/or methacrylic ester of the formula CH 2 ═CH(R 1 )(COOR 2 ) in each formula R 1 is H or CH 3 and R 2 is an alkyl chain having 1 to 20 carbon atoms.

Claims (16)

1. Layered pressure-sensitive adhesive comprising:

(a) a first layer of a first polyacrylate pressure-sensitive adhesive containing at least 50% by weight, based on the first polyacrylate pressure-sensitive adhesive, of an acrylic and/or methacrylic ester of the formula CH═CH(R 1 )(COOR 2 ) where R 1 is H or CH 3 and R 2 is a linear, branched or cyclic alkyl chain having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, wherein said first layer does not comprise chalk;

(b) a second layer comprising:

(b1) a polyacrylate containing at least 50% by weight, based on the polyacrylate, of an acrylic and/or methacrylic ester of the formula CH 2 ═CH(R 1 )(COOR 2 ) where R 1 is H or CH 3 and R 2 is a linear, branched or cyclic alkyl chain having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and

(b2) at least 15% by weight, based on the second layer, of chalk; and

(c) a third layer of a second polyacrylate pressure-sensitive adhesive containing at least 50% by weight, based on the second polyacrylate pressure-sensitive adhesive, of an acrylic and/or methacrylic ester of the formula CH 2 ═CH(R 1 )(COOR 2 ) where R 1 is H or CH 3 and R 2 is a linear, branched or cyclic alkyl chain having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, wherein said third layer does not comprise chalk,

wherein said second layer is between said first layer and said third layer.

2. Layered pressure-sensitive adhesive according to claim 1 , wherein the first layer and the third layer have the same composition.

3. Layered pressure-sensitive adhesive according to claim 1 , wherein the first polyacrylate pressure-sensitive adhesive, the second polyacrylate pressure-sensitive adhesive and the polyacrylate of the second layer have the same composition.

4. Layered pressure-sensitive adhesive according claim 1 , wherein the second layer comprises not more than 60% by weight of chalk.

5. Layered pressure-sensitive adhesive according claim 1 , wherein to the first layer has a thickness of from 5 to 150 jam, the second layer a thickness of from 10 μm to 1500 μm and the third layer a thickness of from 5 to 150 μm.

6. Process for preparing a layered pressure-sensitive adhesive according to claim 1 , comprising adding the chalk to the polyacrylate of layer B, which is in the melt, and subsequently homogeneously distributing the chalk in the melt.

7. A pressure-sensitive adhesive tape comprising the layered pressure-sensitive adhesive according to claim 1 .

8. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape according to claim 7 , which is a transfer tape.

9. A method of adhering an adhesive tape to a substrate, said method comprising adhering the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape according to claim 7 to said substrate.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is a transfer tape.
