More Information
Summary:A pressure sensitive adhesive that employs a water-dispersible polymer is provided. In one embodiment of the invention the adhesive comprises microparticles and the water-dispersible component. In another embodiment the adhesive comprises a novel water-dispersible polymer that contains a plurality of poly(alkoxyalkyl) acrylate units as a major component. The pressure sensitive adhesive may be provided as a tape and used with labels for containers, sterilization indicator tapes and labels, closure systems for envelopes, surgical wrappers, and mammalian body coverings. It may also be used in the preparation of paper web splices. In one embodiment of the invention the tape is repulpable. In another embodiment it is launderable.
