High tack pressure-sensitive adhesive
View Patent ↗A high-tack pressure sensitive adhesive is provided. A high-tack adhesive is mixed with a low-tack adhesive to form an adhesive mixture. The adhesive mixture applied to a portion of a substrate as a high-tack pressure sensitive adhesive patch. In an embodiment, the adhesive mixture includes a thickening agent.
1. An adhesive label comprising:
a first side of a substrate having a release coating; and
a second side of the substrate having a mixture of approximately 74.7% of a first adhesive as a percentage of the mixture with approximately 25% of a second adhesive as a percentage of the mixture with approximately 0.3% of a thickener, wherein the mixture is applied to the second side as an adhesive patch, the first adhesive having a lower tack than the second adhesive and the mixture does not form a gel, and wherein a peel force of the adhesive patch is approximately 2.7 pound-force (lbf).
2. The adhesive label of claim 1 , wherein the mixture has a greater viscosity than both the first adhesive and the second adhesive.
3. The adhesive label of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive patch is applied to a selective portion of the second side of the substrate.
4. The adhesive label of claim 3 , wherein the adhesive patch is applied as a geometric shape to the selective portion.
5. The adhesive label of claim 3 , wherein the adhesive patch is applied as a logo or brand name to the selective portion.
6. The adhesive label of claim 5 , wherein the mixture includes a colored dye.
7. The adhesive label of claim 1 , wherein the first adhesive is a microsphere adhesive.
