The design and development of new, tailor-made, novel photoreactive acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives, which can cope with both the technical and ecological demands, is therefore a continuing challenge for industrial research and development. Progress in the coating technology and the development of improved photoreactive acrylic adhesive will open the door for new applications and an extended market penetration of UV-crosslinkable acrylic adhesive raw materials containing unsaturated copolymerizable photoinitiators incorporated into the polymer backbone. They are characterized by good tack, good adhesion, excellent cohesion and very high shrinkage resistance. In this paper it is shown the application of H-abstractor such as 4-acryloyloxy benzophenone to obtain of the UV-crosslinked acrylic PSA.The presented novel UV-crosslinkable acrylic hotmelt PSA combines the economic advantages of the hotmelt coating technology with the high performance characteristics of the acrylic chemistry, including an excellent aging resistance, optical transparency and heat resistance.
