Abstract

An adhesive composition contains an acrylic resin (A) obtained by copolymerizing a copolymerization formulation (a), the copolymerization formulation (a) including predetermined proportions of: (a1) at least one selected from the group consisting of a (meth)acrylate having a C1 to C3 alkyl group, t-butyl (meth)acrylate, a cyclic structure-containing monomer, and a C3 to C10 vinyl ester monomer; (a2) a (meth)acrylate having a C4 to C24 alkyl group (excluding t-butyl (meth)acrylate); (a3) a terminal carboxyl-containing monomer having a specific structure; and (a4) (meth)acrylic acid. The adhesive composition provides firm adhesion to a higher-polarity adherend, a lower-polarity adherend, a poor-adhesion adherend such as of ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM), and a rough surface, and is excellent in holding force and adhesiveness in a high-temperature/high-humidity environment, with reduced susceptibility to deterioration in adhesiveness over time.

Claims (39)

1. An adhesive composition comprising an acrylic resin (A) obtained by copolymerizing a copolymerization formulation (a),

the copolymerization formulation (a) comprising:

(a1) 1 to 20 wt. % of at least one selected from the group consisting of a (meth)acrylate having a C1 to C3 alkyl group and t-butyl (meth)acrylate;

(a2) 55 to 97 wt. % of a (meth)acrylate having a C4 to C24 alkyl group, other than t-butyl (meth)acrylate;

(a3) 1 to 20 wt. % of a terminal carboxyl-containing monomer represented by the following general formula (1):

CH 2 ═CO—O—(CH 2 CH 2 —COO—) n H  (1)

wherein R1 is hydrogen or a methyl group, and n is not less than 1; and

(a4) 0.1 to 5 wt. % of (meth)acrylic acid.

2. The adhesive composition according to claim 1 , wherein the (meth)acrylate (a2) having a C4 to C24 alkyl group comprises:

(a2-1) a (meth)acrylate having a C4 to C7 alkyl group; and

(a2-2) a (meth)acrylate having a C8 to C24 alkyl group.

3. The adhesive composition according to claim 2 , wherein a weight-based ratio between a proportion of the (meth)acrylate (a2-1) having the C4 to C7 alkyl group and a proportion of the (meth)acrylate (a2-2) having the C8 to C24 alkyl group is (a2-1)/(a2-2)= 1/99 to 85/15.

4. The adhesive composition according to claim 1 , wherein a proportion of (meth)acrylic acid (a4) is 10 to 400 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the terminal carboxyl-containing monomer (a3) represented by the general formula (1).

5. The adhesive composition according to claim 1 , wherein the copolymerization formulation (a) further comprises:

(a5) a hydroxyl-containing monomer.

6. An adhesive agent produced by crosslinking the adhesive composition according to claim 1 .

7. An adhesive tape comprising:

a substrate; and

an adhesive agent layer provided on the substrate;

wherein the adhesive agent layer comprises the adhesive agent according to claim 6 .

8. An adhesive composition comprising an acrylic resin (A) obtained by copolymerizing a copolymerization formulation (a),

the copolymerization formulation (a) comprising:

(a1) 1 to 20 wt. % of at least one selected from the group consisting of a (meth)acrylate having a C1 to C3 alkyl group, t-butyl (meth)acrylate, a cyclic structure containing monomer, and a C3 to C10 vinyl ester monomer;

(a2) 55 to 97 wt. % of a (meth)acrylate having a C4 to C24 alkyl group, other than t-butyl (meth)acrylate;

(a3) 1 to 20 wt. % of a terminal carboxyl-containing monomer represented by the following general formula (1):

CH 2 ═CO—O—(CH 2 CH 2 —COO—) n H  (1)

wherein R 1 is hydrogen or a methyl group, and n is not less than 1;

(a4) 0.1 to 5 wt. % of (meth)acrylic acid; and

(a5) a hydroxyl-containing monomer.

9. The adhesive composition according to claim 8 , wherein the (meth)acrylate (a2) having a C4 to C24 alkyl group comprises:

(a2-1) a (meth)acrylate having a C4 to C7 alkyl group; and

(a2-2) a (meth)acrylate having a C8 to C24 alkyl group.

10. The adhesive composition according to claim 9 , wherein a weight-based ratio between a proportion of the (meth)acrylate (a2-1) having the C4 to C7 alkyl group and a proportion of the (meth)acrylate (a2-2) having the C8 to C24 alkyl group is (a2-1)/(a2-2)= 1/99 to 85/15.

11. The adhesive composition according to claim 8 , wherein a proportion of (meth)acrylic acid (a4) is 10 to 400 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the terminal carboxyl-containing monomer (a3) represented by the general formula (1).

12. An adhesive agent produced by crosslinking the adhesive composition according to claim 8 .

13. An adhesive tape comprising:

a substrate; and

an adhesive agent layer provided on the substrate;

wherein the adhesive agent layer comprises the adhesive agent according to claim 12 .
