A PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVE COMPOSITION

摘要

A pressure adhesive composition suitable for medical purposes comprising a blockcopolymer consisting of or having a major content of diblock copolymer, one or more water soluble or water swellable hydrocolloids and optionally a tackifier resin said composition comprising from 10 to 60% of the total composition of a blockcopolymer comprising a monoalkenyl arene component and a conjugated diene component having a proportion of three-block copolymer to diblock copolymer from 3:1 to 1:15, from 10 to 45% of the total composition of a tackifier resin and from 20 to 65% of the total composition of one or more water soluble or water swellable hydrocolloids shows improved adhesive properties for application on skin renders it possible to avoid the use of plasticizers normally used in connection with styrene copolymers in adhesives.
