Abstract

There is provided a curable pressure-sensitive-adhesive layer comprising an interpolymerized hard-monomer system including one alkyl methacrylate present in an amount up to about 25% by weight, based on the total weight of the monomers, and a soft-monomer system present in an amount of from about 50% to about 95% by weight, and comprising at least one alkyl monoester or diester of an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid containing 4 carbon atoms wherein each alkyl group independently contains from 4 to about 8 carbon atoms, the monoester or diester being present in a total amount of up to about 30% by weight, based on the total weight of the monomers, and at least one alkyl acrylate. Cure occurs by electron-beam radiation or by ultraviolet radiation, the former at a dosage of up to 200 kiloGray, after application to a substrate. A multifunctional monomer may be used to enhance radiant-energy cure.
