Abstract
Acrylic copolymer PSA compositions having enhanced peel strength without substantially decreasing shear properties have been formulated by homogeneously incorporating the tackifying resin into the polymer matrix. The tackifying resin is dissolved into a solution of alkyl (meth) acrylate and (meth) acrylic acid monomers prior to polymerization. To enhance the molecular weight of the resultant PSA, the monomer/tackifier solution is emulsion polymerized in the absence of chain transfer agents, such as antioxidant additives typically found in commercially available tackifiers, and allylic hydrogen present in many unsuitable tackifiers.
