Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
This invention relates to release liners, and more particularly, to release liners suitable for use with highly aggressive pressure-sensitive adhesives. Certain pressure-sensitive adhesives, particularly those derived from silicone resins, are so aggressive that tapes employing them exhibit undesirably high peel forces upon removal from known low-adhesion coatings, especially after prolonged storage or when used in a high-temperature environment. The adhesive of such tapes may carry away, and consequently, be contaminated by appreciable amounts of the low-adhesion material. If this occurs, the tapes will exhibit poor readhesion when applied to "end-use"
receptor surfaces. This invention provides curable, crosslinkable compositions and coatings prepared therefrom that can be used to form low-surface energy liners that can be used with aggressive pressure-sensitive adhesives, such as adhesives formed from silicone resins. The release characteristics of these coatings do not diminish upon aging and do not adversely affect the readhesion properties of adhesives that have come in contact with the coatings. The invention further provides substrates bearing a layer of the composition of the invention.
These coated substrates are particularly suitable for release liners, especially differential release liners and low-adhesion backsizes for pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes and sheet materials, especially for pressure-sensitive adhesives derived from silicone resins.
Because the coatings of this invention can have more than 50% by weight inert oils without significantly reducing the readhesion of adhesives removed from them, they provide an economic advantage over those coatings prepared by using only the more expensive reactive group-containing polyfluoropolyethers.

FLUOROCARBON-BASED COATING
COMPOSITIONS AND ARTICLES DERIVED THEREFROM
s Background Of The Invention Field Of The Invention _ This invention relates to release liners, and more particularly, to release liners suitable for use with highly aggressive pressure-sensitive adhesives.
Discussion of the Art Pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, which is typically wound into rolls, has a low-adhesion backsize coating applied to the major surface of the backing not bearing adhesive to permit the tape to be unwound without delamination and transfer of adhesive to the surface of the backing not bearing adhesive. The force required to separate the adhesive layer from the low-adhesion backsize coating, i.e., peel force, ranges from 6 to 35 Newtons per decimeter (N/dm) per unit width. If the tape is not wound into a roll, its adhesive layer is customarily protected by a disposable web that bears a low-adhesion coating to which normally tacky and pressure-sensitive adhesives adhere very weakly, e.g., a peel force ranging from about 0.2 to about 6 N/dm, preferably 0.2 to 2 N/dm. Release coatings having peel forces in this preferred range of 0.2 to 2 N/dm are hereinafter referred to as "premium release"
coatings.
Release coatings must both adhere strongly to the backing and be sufficiently cured or rendered incompatible with the adhesive so that it does not transfer to the adhesive layer and adversely affect adhesive power of the adhesive. Low adhesion backsize coatings having such properties are disclosed in U.S.
Patent Nos. 3,318,852; 3,536,749; 4,057,596; and 4,216,252.
~3~,21 Certain pressure-sensitive adhesives, particularly those derived from silicone resins, are so aggressive that tapes employing them exhibit undesirably high peel forces upon removal from known low-adhesion coatings, especially after prolonged storage or when used in a high-temperature environment. The adhesive of such tapes may carry away, and conse~uently, be contaminated by appreciable amounts of the low-adhesion material. If this occurs, the tapes will exhibit poor readhesion when a~plied to "end-use" receptor surfaces.
Rnown low-adhesion coatings, e.g., poly(urethanes), poly(tetrafluoroethylenes), and poly(dimethylsiloxanes), do not provide release peel forces in the range 0.2 to 2 N/dm when used with poly(dimethylsiloxane) adhesives.
The utility of polymeric fluorocarbons as release coatings has been disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos.
4,472,480; 4,567,073; and 4,614,667. uncrosslinked fluorinated waxes and oils are frequently used as lubricants and mold release agents in applications where low adhesion coatings are designed to fail cohesively within the bulk phase. Conversely, crosslinked fluorinated waxes and oils are preferred when it is desired to avoid cohesive failure of release liners.
Examples of crosslinking reactions that have been used to prepare low energy release liners are photochemical crosslinking, described in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,472,480;
4,567,073; and 4,614,667; thermal crosslinking of silicone resins, described in U.S. Patent No. 4,472,480; and chemical crosslinking of silicone resins (hydrosilation), described in U.S. Patent No. 4,565,741. U.S. Patent No.
4,321,404 describes abherent coatings made by using electron beam radiation to polymerize a mixture of film-forming and polyfluorinated oligomers in a single step. The mixture is formulated so that the fluorinated materials tend to segregate at the coating surface, i.e., the air interface, so that the abherent coating can be 203~
crosslinked with a single pass through the electron beam curtain. These coatings have excellent readhesion;
however, they were formulated for use with acryl$c adhesives and typically have high release values when used with these adhesives. These release values would be higher still if these abherent coatings were used with the highly aggressive silicone pressure-sensitive adhesives.
In order to further reduce the possibility of cohesive failure, a crosslinked primer coating to securely anchor the release coating to its ~acking has been used.
U.S. Patent Nos. 4,567,073 and 4,614,667 disclose the advantage of first photopolymerizing a thin layer of a film-forming polymer that is stron~ly bonded to the surface of a substrate. This primer layer is also capable of subsequen~ly reacting with functional groups attached to a polyfluoropolyether, which is applied as a second thin layer over the photopolymerized layer, thereby chemically bonding the release coating to the inner primer layer. These release liners exhibit release of about 0.6 N/dm, and excellent readhesion for certain clas~es of silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesives.
Summary Of The Invention The present invention provides curable, crosslinkable compositions and coatings prepared therefrom that can be used to form low-surface energy liners that can be used with aggressive pressure-sensitive adhesives, such as adhesives formed from silicone resins. The release characteristics of these coatings do not diminish `-upon aging and do not adversely affect the readhesion properties of adhesives that have come in contact with the coatings.
Briefly, the compositions of the present invention comprise a crosslinkable polyfluoropolyether and an inert polyfluoropolyether oil. The compositions can be dissolved in mixtures of fluorinated solvents in order to provide solutions having a viscosity suitable for coating by methods well known in the art.
2(~022~
The composition preferably contains from about 15 to about 90~ by weight crosslinkable polyfluoropolyether, more preferably from about 50 to about 85% by weight, and from about 10 to about 85% by weight inert poly~luoropolyether oil. It ~s preferred that the polyfluoropolyether oil have a visco6~ty of 20 to 500 centipoise at 25C, preferably 90 to 200 centipoise at 25C.
The inventlon further provides substrates bearing a layer of the composition of the invention.
These coated substrates are particularly suitable for release liner~, especially differential release liners and low-adhesion backsizec for pressure sensitive adhesive tapes and sheet materials, e~pecially for pressure-sensitive adhesives derived from silicone resins.
Likewise, the release coatings of this invention are specifically formulated and cured to resist cohesive failure within the bulk phase but to fail uniformly along an extremely thin, weak boundary layer at the release coating-adhesive interface.
It has been found that silicone adhe~ives on the fluorochemical release liners of the present invention will not suffer dramatic reductions of the readhesion value, as will acrylic adhesives on silicone-based release liners if uncured material is present. Surprisingly, pressure-sensitive adhesives in contact with the relea~e liners of the present invention can have very high readhesion values--in excess of 90% of those of control adhesives which have not been in contact with any relea~e coating or liner. Such high readhesion values are $ndicative of little, if any, transfer of fluorocarbon materials of low surface energy to the pressure-sensitive adhesive. Because the coatings of this invention can have more than 50% by weight inert oils without significantly reducing the readhe~ion of adhesives removed from them, they provide an economic advantage over those coatings prepared by using only the more expensive reactive group-containing polyfluoropolyethers.

Solvent~ that can be used for applying the composition of this invention include mixtures of the ~Freon" series, e.g., 1,1,2-trichlorotrifluoroethane, the "FC~ series of perfluorinated hydrocarbons, e.g., perfluorooctane, hexafluoroxylene, and trifluorotoluene.
The composition of this invention can be applied to a substrate to form a low energy surface liner by the following process:
(a) providing a solution comprising the functional polyfluoropolyether, the inert polyfluoropolyether, a catalyst for the crosslinking reaction, and a mixture of fluorinated solvents, (b) coating the solution onto a substrate, (c) curing the coated composition either thermally or by irradiation, depending on the nature of the curing agent, for a suitable period of time, typically ranging from a fraction of a second to five minutes or more.
Substrate shapes that are suitable for the composition of the present invention include sheet6, fibers, and materials of other shapes. Preferred substrate materials include flexible sheet materials that are used as backings for pressure-sensitive adhesive c~ 2 ~
products, such as, for example, polyester, polyimide, polyamide, polyolefin, and polycarbonate films. Other substrate materials that are suitable for the composition of this invention include glass, ceramic, metal, and rubber.
~ he coating techniques that are useful for applying the composition of this invention include brushing, wire-wound rod or knife coating, spraying, curtain coating, and gravure coating.
In some cases, it may be desirable to first apply to the substrate a primer or an adhesion-promoting coating or to treat the substrate. Such treatments are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,567,073 and 4,614,667.
A substrate bearing a coating of the cured composition of the invention on one or both major surfaces thereof can then be coated with any adhesives known in the art, such as, for example, acrylic adhesives, rubber-based adhesives, and silicone-based adhesives. The adhesive-coated substrate can then be wound up into a roll, if desired. Flexible, pressure-sensitive adhesive-coated sheet materials are well known in the art. See, for example, U.S. Patent Re. 24,906 (acrylate), U.S.
Patent Nos. 2,857,356; 2,814,601; and 2,736,721 (siloxane), and U.S. Patent No. 3,925,283 (urethane).
The releasability of the coatings of this invention with respect to adhesives can be measured by various methods known in the art. The method selected depends upon whether the final product is in sheet or roll form, such as a tape. Yarious methods for testing pressure-sensitive tapes are reported by the Pressure-Sensitive Tape Council (PSTC) in "Test Methods for Pressure-Sensitive Tapes".
The release values of the cured polyfluoropolyether-coated substrates prepared in the following examples we-e determined as follows:

FLUOROCARBON-BASED COATING
COMPOSITIONS AND ARTICLES DERIVED THEREFROM
s Background Of The Invention Field Of The Invention _ This invention relates to release liners, and more particularly, to release liners suitable for use with highly aggressive pressure-sensitive adhesives.
Discussion of the Art Pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, which is typically wound into rolls, has a low-adhesion backsize coating applied to the major surface of the backing not bearing adhesive to permit the tape to be unwound without delamination and transfer of adhesive to the surface of the backing not bearing adhesive. The force required to separate the adhesive layer from the low-adhesion backsize coating, i.e., peel force, ranges from 6 to 35 Newtons per decimeter (N/dm) per unit width. If the tape is not wound into a roll, its adhesive layer is customarily protected by a disposable web that bears a low-adhesion coating to which normally tacky and pressure-sensitive adhesives adhere very weakly, e.g., a peel force ranging from about 0.2 to about 6 N/dm, preferably 0.2 to 2 N/dm. Release coatings having peel forces in this preferred range of 0.2 to 2 N/dm are hereinafter referred to as "premium release"
coatings.
Release coatings must both adhere strongly to the backing and be sufficiently cured or rendered incompatible with the adhesive so that it does not transfer to the adhesive layer and adversely affect adhesive power of the adhesive. Low adhesion backsize coatings having such properties are disclosed in U.S.
Patent Nos. 3,318,852; 3,536,749; 4,057,596; and 4,216,252.
~3~,21 Certain pressure-sensitive adhesives, particularly those derived from silicone resins, are so aggressive that tapes employing them exhibit undesirably high peel forces upon removal from known low-adhesion coatings, especially after prolonged storage or when used in a high-temperature environment. The adhesive of such tapes may carry away, and conse~uently, be contaminated by appreciable amounts of the low-adhesion material. If this occurs, the tapes will exhibit poor readhesion when a~plied to "end-use" receptor surfaces.
Rnown low-adhesion coatings, e.g., poly(urethanes), poly(tetrafluoroethylenes), and poly(dimethylsiloxanes), do not provide release peel forces in the range 0.2 to 2 N/dm when used with poly(dimethylsiloxane) adhesives.
The utility of polymeric fluorocarbons as release coatings has been disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos.
4,472,480; 4,567,073; and 4,614,667. uncrosslinked fluorinated waxes and oils are frequently used as lubricants and mold release agents in applications where low adhesion coatings are designed to fail cohesively within the bulk phase. Conversely, crosslinked fluorinated waxes and oils are preferred when it is desired to avoid cohesive failure of release liners.
Examples of crosslinking reactions that have been used to prepare low energy release liners are photochemical crosslinking, described in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,472,480;
4,567,073; and 4,614,667; thermal crosslinking of silicone resins, described in U.S. Patent No. 4,472,480; and chemical crosslinking of silicone resins (hydrosilation), described in U.S. Patent No. 4,565,741. U.S. Patent No.
4,321,404 describes abherent coatings made by using electron beam radiation to polymerize a mixture of film-forming and polyfluorinated oligomers in a single step. The mixture is formulated so that the fluorinated materials tend to segregate at the coating surface, i.e., the air interface, so that the abherent coating can be 203~
crosslinked with a single pass through the electron beam curtain. These coatings have excellent readhesion;
however, they were formulated for use with acryl$c adhesives and typically have high release values when used with these adhesives. These release values would be higher still if these abherent coatings were used with the highly aggressive silicone pressure-sensitive adhesives.
In order to further reduce the possibility of cohesive failure, a crosslinked primer coating to securely anchor the release coating to its ~acking has been used.
U.S. Patent Nos. 4,567,073 and 4,614,667 disclose the advantage of first photopolymerizing a thin layer of a film-forming polymer that is stron~ly bonded to the surface of a substrate. This primer layer is also capable of subsequen~ly reacting with functional groups attached to a polyfluoropolyether, which is applied as a second thin layer over the photopolymerized layer, thereby chemically bonding the release coating to the inner primer layer. These release liners exhibit release of about 0.6 N/dm, and excellent readhesion for certain clas~es of silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesives.
Summary Of The Invention The present invention provides curable, crosslinkable compositions and coatings prepared therefrom that can be used to form low-surface energy liners that can be used with aggressive pressure-sensitive adhesives, such as adhesives formed from silicone resins. The release characteristics of these coatings do not diminish `-upon aging and do not adversely affect the readhesion properties of adhesives that have come in contact with the coatings.
Briefly, the compositions of the present invention comprise a crosslinkable polyfluoropolyether and an inert polyfluoropolyether oil. The compositions can be dissolved in mixtures of fluorinated solvents in order to provide solutions having a viscosity suitable for coating by methods well known in the art.
2(~022~
The composition preferably contains from about 15 to about 90~ by weight crosslinkable polyfluoropolyether, more preferably from about 50 to about 85% by weight, and from about 10 to about 85% by weight inert poly~luoropolyether oil. It ~s preferred that the polyfluoropolyether oil have a visco6~ty of 20 to 500 centipoise at 25C, preferably 90 to 200 centipoise at 25C.
The inventlon further provides substrates bearing a layer of the composition of the invention.
These coated substrates are particularly suitable for release liner~, especially differential release liners and low-adhesion backsizec for pressure sensitive adhesive tapes and sheet materials, e~pecially for pressure-sensitive adhesives derived from silicone resins.
Likewise, the release coatings of this invention are specifically formulated and cured to resist cohesive failure within the bulk phase but to fail uniformly along an extremely thin, weak boundary layer at the release coating-adhesive interface.
It has been found that silicone adhe~ives on the fluorochemical release liners of the present invention will not suffer dramatic reductions of the readhesion value, as will acrylic adhesives on silicone-based release liners if uncured material is present. Surprisingly, pressure-sensitive adhesives in contact with the relea~e liners of the present invention can have very high readhesion values--in excess of 90% of those of control adhesives which have not been in contact with any relea~e coating or liner. Such high readhesion values are $ndicative of little, if any, transfer of fluorocarbon materials of low surface energy to the pressure-sensitive adhesive. Because the coatings of this invention can have more than 50% by weight inert oils without significantly reducing the readhe~ion of adhesives removed from them, they provide an economic advantage over those coatings prepared by using only the more expensive reactive group-containing polyfluoropolyethers.
