A pressure sensitive adhesion composition comprising: a first polymer which is an acrylate polymer or copolymer comprising polymerized monomers selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, butyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, acrylate of octyl, styrene, vinyl acetate and combinations thereof; and b) a second polymer selected from the group consisting of ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer, oxidized polyethylene, ethylene vinyl oxide oxidized copolymer, maleated polyolefin and combinations thereof; wherein the composition is water based and is adapted for pressure sensitive adhesion to substrates. The adhesion composition may also comprise a sticky resin selected from the group consisting of rosin ester resin, rosin acid resin, synthetic hydrocarbon resin, synthetic terpenic resin and combinations thereof. A work article comprising a support member and a pressure sensitive adhesion layer attached thereto comprising the pressure sensitive adhesion composition. A process to form a pressure sensitive adhesive manufacturing article. |
