Adhesive article backing with sorbent material
Described herein is a backing comprising a sorbent material entrapped in a non-woven fiber matrix, wherein the backing comprises a first and a second major surface; and a first adhesive layer contacting the first major surface of the backing, wherein the first adhesive layer comprises a pressure sensitive adhesive.
1. An adhesive article comprising:
a backing comprising a sorbent material entrapped in a non-woven fiber matrix, wherein the sorbent material is distributed throughout the backing and wherein the backing comprises a first and a second major surface;
a release coating layer disposed on the second major surface of the backing; and
a first adhesive layer contacting the first major surface of the backing, wherein the first adhesive layer comprises a pressure sensitive adhesive.
2. The adhesive article of claim 1 , wherein the first major surface is substantially free of a release material.
3. The adhesive article of claim 1 , wherein the non-woven fiber matrix comprises fibers of at least one of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, nylon, and polylactic acid.
4. The adhesive article of claim 1 , wherein the non-woven fiber matrix comprises fibers of at least one of cellulose, hemp, bamboo, and cotton.
5. The adhesive article of claim 1 , wherein the sorbent material is present in 50% or less by weight of the backing.
6. The adhesive article of claim 1 , wherein the sorbent material comprises at least one of an activated carbon, silica gel, and a zeolite.
7. The adhesive article of claim 1 , wherein the pressure sensitive adhesive comprises at least one an acrylic, a tackified acrylic, a tackified rubber-based adhesive, silicone, and polyurethanes.
8. The adhesive article of claim 1 , further comprising a liner, where the first adhesive layer is disposed between the liner and the backing.
9. The adhesive article of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive article is a tape, or a label.
10. The adhesive article of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive article has a VOC of less than 1000 μg/g as measured by VOC Test Method.
11. The adhesive article of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive article has a FOG of less than 100 μg/g as measured by VOC Test Method.
12. The adhesive article of claim 1 , wherein the sorbent material is a porous material.
13. A method of making an adhesive article comprising:
(a) providing a backing having a first major surface and an opposing second major surface, the backing comprising a sorbent material entrapped in a non-woven fiber matrix, wherein the sorbent material is distributed throughout the backing; and
(b) providing a release coating layer disposed on the second major surface of the backing; and
(c) disposing a first adhesive layer onto the first major surface of the backing, wherein the first adhesive layer comprises a pressure sensitive adhesive.
