UV härtende RC Silicone und HotMelt Klebstoffe: Eine Langzeituntersuchung der
Trennwertstabilität
Die Trennwirkung einer Siliconschicht soll sich über lange Zeit möglichst wenig ändern. Im
Labor kann die Alterung durch Temperatur und definiertem Druck beschleunigt werden.
Doch auch solche Lagerungen dauern noch 6 Monate oder sogar länger. Gerade wegen
dieser langen Beobachtungszeit sind systematische Untersuchungen sinnvoller als
Einzelmessungen.
Wir haben das Alterungsverhalten von neun HotMelt Klebstoffen untersucht. Ausgehend von
einer Grundrezeptur wurden Modifikationen nach Möglichkeit so hergestellt, dass immer nur
eine Komponente ausgetauscht werden musste. Mit der breiten Variation der
Zusammensetzung haben wir damit erstmals einen Überblick über die möglichen
Interaktionen einzelner Klebstoffbestandteile mit UV gehärteten Silicontrennbeschichtungen.
Die UV Härtung der Siliconschicht wurde in drei unterschiedlichen Qualitäten ausgeführt. Bei
zwei Siliconisierungen wurde die UV Leistung variiert. Eine weitere Siliconbeschichtungen
wurde bei äußerst hohem Restsauerstoffgehalt vernetzt. Mit diesen Beschichtungen können
Rückschlüsse auf die Wichtigkeit von UV Leistung und Inertisierung gezogen werden.
Diese Ergebnis können wertvolle Hilfestellung bei der Entwicklung von Laminaten und
Klebebändern mit HotMelt Klebstoffen und UV Siliconen geben.
UV curing RC Silicones and HotMelt Adhesives: A long time study of the release
stability
The opening force of a laminate or adhesive tape should remain constant for a very long
period of time. In a laboratory setting, the storage can be accelerated by increased
temperature and pressure. Even such an accelerated ageing test may take 6 months time or
longer. Due to the extreme duration of such a test, a systematic study is much more
preferable as compared to individual measurements.
We evaluated the long time ageing performance of nine different HotMelt adhesives. Starting
with a basic formulation for label applications we varied each of the different components one
by one. With such a broad variation of different HotMelts we were able to investigate the
impact of the individual adhesive components. UV curing of the silicone side was carried out
in three different qualities. In two coatings we did a variation of the UV dose applied. A third
coating was done under extremely high residual oxygen content. With these three coating
variations we are able to draw conclusions on the importance of the curing condition of RC
Silicones.
These results can contribute important information to the development of laminates and
adhesive tapes when it comes to UV Silicones.

240 ppm residual oxygen is way above normal
production condition.
High oxygen level during polymerisation yields
peroxide formation that can cause side reaction.
To avoid aging of the laminate maintain the oxygen level below 50ppm
Slide 9
Results
Aging of the laminate for 6 month storage under load and 40°C
• No significant increase of release with RC Silicones
• Low UV Dose without negative effect
• High residual oxygen is causing aging.
Maintain the residual oxygen level below 50ppm!
• RT ageing with similar results (not shown here)
