Production of UV-Crosslinkable Acrylic Pressure-Sensitivie Adhesives Wit An Extruder

The present report evaluates the production of solvent-free acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA5) with a twin-screw extruder. New applications and technical specifications continue to stimulate the development of new methods for the radical polymerization of non-solvent acrylate, and include the synthesis of 100% acrylic systems by polymerization in an extruder and the production of pressure-sensitive adhesive tape consisting of a carrier layer with a thickness of 0.25 to 2.0 millimeters and a UV-crosslinked pressure-sensitive adhesive matrix.
