Wilpiszewska, Katarzyna | Czech, Zbigniew
Water-soluble pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA) based on acrylic acid and carboxymethyl starch (CMS) have been prepared. The tack and peel adhesion to various paper types (newsprint, hygienic, packing, fax and art paper) as well as dynamic shear adhesion at higher temperatures (70–240 °C) have been tested with the aim of applying such PSA in a form of double-sided splicing tapes for paper industry. For all paper types tested tack and peel adhesion values increased with CMS content (0.1–10 wt% in PSA). The highest tack and peel adhesion values (for the system containing 10 wt% CMS) were noted for fax paper ca. 19.5 N/2.5 cm and 18.3 N/2.5 cm, respectively and the lowest ones for art paper: 14.7 N/2.5 cm and 13.5 N/2.5 cm, respectively. Obtained PSA were completely soluble in water, and the time of water-solubility depended on CMS content, as well as pH value, however it did not exceed 5 min.
