Adhesive composition

摘要

An adhesive composition is described which has improved initial tack, long-term adhesion, water uptake and translucency characteristics and may be prepared by melt extrusion. Uses of these compositions are also described, for example, their use as blister pads and wound dressings.

1. An adhesive composition comprising:
a hydrophobic polymer selected from polyisobutylenes, butyl rubbers, natural rubber adhesives, vinyl ether polymers, polysiloxanes, polyisoprenes, styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymers, styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymers, isobutylene-isoprene copolymers, butadiene acrylonitrile rubber, polychloroprenes, ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymers, acrylates, and combinations thereof; an elastomeric plasticizer; a tackifying resin; a hydrophilic polymer selected from poly(N-vinyl lactams), poly(N-vinyl amides), poly(N-vinyl acrylamides), poly(N-alkylacrylamides), polyacrylic acids, polymethacrylic acids, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl amine, and copolymers and blends thereof; a third polymer capable of hydrogen bonding to the hydrophilic polymer, and clay particles comprised of a water-swellable clay mineral.
