The various monomers being used for pressure-sensitive acrylate of the present invention will be described in detail below.
A) hydrophilic acrylate monomer
As far back as 1984, if William R.Snyder and colleague thereof just propose in WO 84/03837 a kind of have good hydrophilic monomer and other monomer even hydrophobic monomer be polymerized, the polymer generated also with good wetting ability, therefore can improve the viscosity on moist skin greatly.They advise that the weight percent that this monomer accounts for total polymer monomer is 5%-30%.We study and find in the hydrophilic monomer of this class, and hydrophilic acrylate monomer that is hydroxyl or oxyethyl group not only effectively can strengthen the wetting ability of polymkeric substance, can also strengthen its vapour permeability.
Hydrophilic acrylate monomer that is hydroxyl or oxyethyl group of the present invention includes but not limited to: trimethylolpropane diacrylate, pentaerythritol triacrylate, ditrimethylolpropane triacrylate, vinylformic acid 2-hydroxy methacrylate (2-HEA), vinylformic acid 4-hydroxyl benzyl ester (4-HBA), vinylformic acid 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy) ethyl ester (EEEA).Most preferably EEEA, 2-HEA and 4-HBA.
In addition, the impact of different types of hydrophilic monomer on vapour permeability is different.As shown in Table 3, when the weight percent of monomer is identical, containing oxyethyl group EEEA than hydroxyl 2-HEA and 4-HBA to the raising better effects if of MVTR a bit.Such as, but consider the impact on other performance of tackiness agent, second-order transition temperature rises and causes holding viscosity decline, and the amount of such hydrophilic monomer should not be too high.As can be seen from figure bis-, for EEEA, when EEEA brings up to 10% from account for total amount of monomer 5%, its MVTR improves 56g/m2/ 24hrs. but bring up to 22% from 15% as EEEA, its MVTR improve only 5g/m2/ 24hrs.On the other hand, after EEEA concentration improves, its intrinsic viscosity I.V. also has and significantly rises, and too high I.V. is found to reduce the viscosity to skin surface, comprises tack and holds viscosity.
Consider the balance between high water-permeability and other performances, the ratio of the hydrophilic acrylate monomer of hydroxyl or oxyethyl group preferably accounts for the 10%-30% of the gross weight of all monomers, more preferably 15%-25%.

Korea S of supplier, thickness 20.3 microns.Pressure sensitive adhesive 2 is pressure-sensitive acrylate of the present invention, bondline thickness 25 microns, and transfer coating method is coated with.Separate-type paper 3 is 80g one side separate-type paper, and upper Hypon swallow provides.Crosslinking curing and sterilizing gamma ray realize.By Shanghai JPY Ion-Tech Co., Ltd, cobalt source is adopted to carry out cross-linking radiation and sterilizing, dosage range: 25-50kGy.
Inner clinical experiment
In order to better verify the use properties of preferred embodiment in the present invention, carry out inner clinical experiment.Namely in assessment embodiment, sample, in Healthy People service condition with it, observes the MVTR of dressing, viscosity, cull, crimping and skin reaction etc.
With commercial samples Tegaderm std, Tegaderm HP, IV-3000 and MMD does reference, and Sample Preparation Procedure is as follows: select HPA-12, HPA-12L, HPA-14, HPA-14L tetra-formula in the present invention.The coating process adopted is: be first coated in separate-type paper by glue, then coat PU film at Jiao Mianshang.PU thickness is 20.3 μm, and the glue spread of glue is 20g/m2, thick 25 microns of dry glue.Above-mentioned sample is also crosslinked through conventional gamma sterilization, is then cut into the sample of 2.5 × 8cm, is affixed on volunteer back and carries out clinical experiment.Select 12 volunteers, stochastic distribution is done to pasted sample position.Assessment sample at initial 0h (T0), the viscosity of 72 hours (T72) and 168 hours (T168), cull, crimping and skin reaction.Testing method is as follows:
Step:
1. first clinical study slip-stick artist will clean the skin at experimenter back by the aqueous soup solution of dilution.
2. clinical study slip-stick artist will stick 8 dressing (dryness) (each one of each sample) at experimenter's left dorsal; On the right side of experimenter back, spill a small amount of warm water, then stick other 8 dressing (moist) (each one of each sample), and ASTMD3330 method tests these samples after 5 minutes, is recorded as T0.Sample size is 2.5 × 8cm2.
3. same dressing is sticked in the position same at experimenter back by clinical study slip-stick artist again.
4. clinical study slip-stick artist will require that experimenter returns IHP testing laboratory after 72 hours, and that assesses all samples floats rate and skin reaction.Half sample can be torn off, assessment viscosity and residual gum content (T72).
5. clinical study slip-stick artist will require that experimenter returned the assessment that sample makees in IHP testing laboratory after 168 hours.Second half sample remaining can be torn off, and rate, viscosity, residual gum content and skin reaction (T168) are floated in assessment.
Fig. 3 shows the result of viscosity clinical trial.Adhesion Test Method is similar to ASTMD3330, only steel plate is changed into human body back, 180 degree of strippings, 12inch/min.In Fig. 3, T0 (Dry) represents the initial viscosity of institute's test sample product in dry skin, T0 (Wet) represents the initial viscosity of institute's test sample product on moist skin, T72 represents the viscosity of institute's test sample product in dryness or moist skin after 72 hours, and T168 represents the viscosity of institute's test sample product in dryness or moist skin after 168 hours.
As can be seen from Figure 3, when T0, the viscosity of above institute's test sample product to skin is all greater than 40g/inch.HPA-12/12L, the initial viscosity of HPA-14/14L in dry skin is 90-110g/inch, preferably ~ 100g/inch, initial viscosity on moist skin is 30-50g/inch, preferably ~ 45g/inch, the viscosity in dryness or moist skin after 72 hours is 160-190g/inch, preferably ~ 170g/inch, viscosity in dryness or moist skin after 168 hours is 100-120g/inch, preferably ~ 110g/inch.When T72 and T168, with commercial samples Tegaderm std, Tegaderm HP, IV-3000 compares, HPA-12L and HPA-14L has similar viscosity, and its viscosity is higher than reference sample MMD, illustrates that above two kinds of formulas have and good holds viscosity.HPA-12 and HPA-14 then has similar viscosity to MMD, but they when T72 and T168 viscosity lower than with commercial samples Tegaderm std, Tegaderm HP, IV-3000.
Except viscosity, cull and crimping are also the important factors affecting dressing use properties.0-5 is adopted to evaluate cull, the crimping of dressing in the present invention.0 is divided into without cull or crimping, increases progressively successively, and 5 are divided into whole cull or sample to drop.
Assess the cull of sample when T72 and crimping as shown in Table 6.Cull evaluation result as can be seen from table six, the formula HPA-12L in the present invention, HPA-14L, HPA-12 and HPA-14 all do not observe cull in inner clinical experiment, have obvious advantage than commercially available prod Tegaderm HP and IV-3000.
Crimping evaluation result as can be seen from table six, in the 72h of assessment, assess sample and all do not occur coming off.HPA-12L and HPA-14L does not observe crimping at T72 or only has slight crimping, and with commercially available prod Tegaderm HP, Tegaderm Std and IV-3000 is identical.The crimping situation of HPA-12 and HPA-14 is serious than above-mentioned sample, but its assessment result is still better than MMD.
Assess the cull of sample when T1682 and crimping evaluation result as shown in Table 7.Cull evaluation result as can be seen from table seven, formula HPA-12L in the present invention, HPA-14L, HPA-12 and HPA-14 all do not observe cull in the i.e. inside clinical experiment of 7 days that reaches 168h, have obvious advantage than commercially available prod Tegaderm HP and IV-3000.
As can be seen from the crimping evaluation result of table seven, to commercially available prod Tegaderm HP and IV-3000, there is similar hemming performance reaching (T168) HPA-12L and HPA-14L in the test of 7 days, all have a sample or two samples to come off.Than above-mentioned sample seriously, there is coming off of 3-4 sample in the crimping of HPA-12 and HPA-14 and dropping situations.
The inside clinical test results of table six T72 cull and crimping
The inside clinical test results of table seven T168 cull and crimping
Fill a prescription in comprehensive assessment the present invention in the performance of each time point, can find out that HPA-12L and HPA-14L has better viscosity, less cull than HPA-12 and HPA-14, better hemming performance.And HPA-12L and HPA-14L has higher MVTR than HPA-12 and HPA-14.Therefore, suitable to more saturating vapour, the dressing of a new generation that cull is less, adhesive tape product.
In sum, the present invention discloses one and there is high vapour permeability (MVTR ~ 1900g/m simultaneously2/ 24hrs), high viscosity (within 7 days, do not come off, not crimping, peeling force has 100g/inch), the pressure sensitive adhesive of low irritant.It is formed primarily of four class monomers, the hydrophilic acrylate monomer of hydroxyl or oxyethyl group, short chain with hydrophobic acrylic acid's ester class soft monomer of long-chain and the propylene class hard monomer of band polar group.This pressure sensitive adhesive shows in human test compares the huge advantage of market like product in performance, is the first-selection of medical dressing of future generation.Need the industrial adhesive field of high water vapor transmittance at other, as electron trade also can hold out broad prospects simultaneously.
