Pressure-sensitive adhesive strips for moisture-resistant, removable adhesive bonds

The invention relates to an adhesive strip, in particular adhesive on both sides, which can be detached again in two steps, by stretching stretching in the bonding plane and subsequent peeling off without residue or destruction. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of the adhesive strip according to the invention and to methods for detaching the adhesive strip.

Elastic or highly elastic pressure-sensitive adhesive strips, which can be detached again by stretching stretching in the bonding plane residue and non-destructive, are for example from US 4,024,312 A, DE 33 31 016 C2, WO 92/01 132 A1, WO 92/11333 A1, DE DE 196 49 727 A1, DE 196 49 727 A1, DE 196 49 729 A1, DE 197 08 364 A1, DE 197 20 145 A1, DE 198 20 854 A1, WO 99/37729 A1 and DE 100 03 318 A1 and are also referred to below as stripable pressure-sensitive adhesive strips.

Such strippable self-adhesive tapes are often used in the form of adhesive film strips which are adhesive on one or both sides and which preferably have a non-adhesive grip region from which the detachment process is initiated.

Particular applications of corresponding pressure-sensitive adhesive strips can be found in DE 42 33 872 A1, DE 195 1 1 288 A1, US Pat. No. 5,507,464 A, US Pat. No. 5,672,402 A and WO 94/21 157 A1, Special embodiments are described, for example, in DE 44 28 587 A1, DE 44 31 914 A1, WO 97/07172 A1, DE 196 27 400 A1, WO 98/03601 A1 and DE 196 49 636 A1, DE 197 20 526 A1, DE 197 23 177 A1, DE 297 23 198 A1, DE 197 26 375 A1, DE 197 56 084 A1, DE 197 56 816 A1, DE 198 42 864 A1, DE 198 42 865 A1, WO 99/31 193 A1, WO 99 / 37729 A1 and WO 99/63018 A1.

Fields of application of the aforementioned stripable pressure-sensitive adhesive strips include in particular the residue-free and non-destructive detachable fixation of light to medium-weight objects in the living, working and office area. They replace classic fasteners such as pins, pin needles, tacks, nails, screws, classic self-adhesive tapes and liquid adhesives. Essential for the successful use of the pressure-sensitive adhesive strips is in addition to the possibility of residue and non-destructive redetachment of glued objects whose simple and rapid bonding and for the intended Verklebungsdauer their secure grip. It should be noted in particular that the functionality of the adhesive strip must be given on a variety of substrates in order to serve as a universal fixation in the living, working and office area.

Although described a wide range of pressure sensitive adhesives for use in strippable self-adhesive tapes in the literature cited above, so have currently on the market commercial products (for example, tesa ^® Power Strips ^® tesa AG, 3M Command ^® adhesive strips from 3M, and Plastofix ^® Formule Force 1000 adhesive strips from Plasto SA) almost exclusively comprise pressure-sensitive adhesives based on styrene block copolymers with blocks of polydiene unsaturated in the elastomer block.

These products based on the styrene block copolymers show weaknesses in the bond strength under the influence of humidity or water. This behavior is especially pronounced when bonding to hydrophilic substrates such as glass or ceramics. In particular, when exposed to moisture shortly after the bonding of medium-heavy objects, it often leads to failure of the pressure-sensitive adhesive strips. The holding performance is reduced under the influence of moisture, especially in those pressure-sensitive adhesive strips containing non-polar tackifier resins such as hydrocarbon resins or Polyterpenharze. For products containing an intermediate foam on which is applied on both sides of adhesive, the decrease in the adhesion strength under the influence of moisture is more pronounced than adhesive strips, which consist only of an adhesive layer.

Bonding failure is much more pronounced in a pure peel load, and especially in a dump shear load (where torque is effective, such as when gluing a hook with a particular lever to which something is attached), rather than a pure shear load ,

DE 102 24 842 A1 describes an adhesive based on styrene block copolymers which, by adding superabsorbers, has a markedly improved holding power on hydrophilic substrates such as glass under moisture. Nevertheless, the bonding performance with long-lasting very high humidity but especially under running water is not sufficient.

No. 6,569,521 B describes a removable adhesive strip with a tear-resistant stretchable carrier and a silicone-based adhesive, in particular block copolymers of silicones and polyureas. This product can be loosened from the substrate again by pulling in the bond plane, the bond strength to glass at 98% RH is markedly higher than the adhesives based on styrene block copolymers. Disadvantage is that the dilution of the entire product only such adhesives can be used, in which the bond strength is greatly reduced under strain.

With a large number of pressure-sensitive adhesives, the bonding performance drops significantly under the influence of high humidity or water. Not only that moist or wet adhesive tape sticking significantly worse or not at all or it is difficult to stick to wet surfaces, but already existing bonding of an adhesive tape on a substrate can be deteriorated by the influence of moisture or water in the load capacity or completely fail , This phenomenon is particularly pronounced in hydrophilic substrates such as glass or ceramic products such as tiles. Especially ceramic tiles can often be found in bathrooms or kitchens, where the humidity in the short term can rise very high. Own hydrophilic substrates the property of having often bound a very thin layer of adsorbed water on the surface, which can only be removed at very high temperatures. Through this thin layer of water moisture or water from glass can be easily absorbed. Due to the molecular structure of the glass, it is even able to absorb water in the glass itself and not just to absorb it on the surface. The same applies to ceramic products.

If an adhesive tape is bonded to ceramic products or glass, a thin layer of water remains between the adhesive tape and the glass. This layer is so thin that the bonding properties of the adhesive tape are not affected, the bond between the adhesive tape and the glass can be very strong, similar to that of steel and the same adhesive tape.

If moisture in the form of high humidity or water acts on the bond, the water layer between the glass and the adhesive strip can absorb further water, causing the layer to grow. Water can also diffuse through the glass to the bonding surface. The bonding performance is thereby reduced in the way that it can lead to the failure of the bond.

To prevent this failure of the bond, by default, very soft adhesives are used, which can close all the pores of the glass, so that the water can not diffuse into the intermediate layer. This approach is taken, for example, in the bonding of double glass panes, where an isobutyl rubber adhesive is used (according to Skeist, "Handbook of Adhesives", 2nd edition, 1977).

An alternative to the very soft adhesives based on isobutyl rubbers are adhesives based on silicones or silicone-containing polymers. The disadvantage is that these adhesives often do not lose sufficient adhesive force during stretching, so that they can be removed from a surface.

In contrast, silicone compounds often peel off well from the substrate on which they were glued. The object of the invention is to develop a removable adhesive strip with adhesives formulated on a broader formulation basis, which has a high bond strength even on hydrophilic substrates at high humidity and even under running water, but can also be removed without residue.

This object is achieved by an adhesive strip, as laid down in the main claim. The subject of the dependent claims are advantageous developments of the adhesive strip, uses of the same and methods for detaching the adhesive strip.

Accordingly, the invention relates to a redetachable adhesive strip which is adhesive at least on one side and which is composed of at least the following layers: a.) A core layer which has an elongation at break of at least 300%, preferably at least 450%, b) an outer backing layer which has a Elongation at break of not more than 120%, preferably 80%, and which is at least partially connected to the core layer such that it separates during stretching stretching of the core layer, c.) A first adhesive layer, at least partially on the side of the outer support layer is applied, which is opposite to the side connected to the core layer.

In a first advantageous embodiment of the invention, the core layer is formed by an adhesive which can be redetached by stretching stretching, in particular in the bonding plane.

Adhesive compositions which are both tack-tacky and non-tack-tacky, which, for example, must be thermally activated, are used as the high-tensile core layer.

Preferably, the thickness of the core layer of the adhesive is between 300 and

1500 μm.

Further preferably, the core layer projects beyond the outer carrier layer at least in one area. This area serves as a handle to pull to the to achieve stretching stretching in particular in the bonding layer of the core layer, and is therefore preferably not pressure-sensitively finished on both sides, in particular by the application of film or paper pieces.

In another advantageous development, the region can be produced by irradiation, powdering or neutralization of the adhesive. Alternatively, a paint or a primer can be applied in the appropriate places. So then the surface can be changed by chemical treatment such as etching to produce non-adhesive zones respectively.

The adhesive of the core layer is constructed in a further advantageous development of the invention based on styrene block copolymers.

Such adhesive compositions are described for example in DE 42 33 872 A1 or in DE 195 11 288 A1 and are available as tesa Power Strips ^® commercially.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the core layer is formed by a carrier, which can be redetached by stretching stretching, in particular in the bonding plane.

Further preferably, on the side of the carrier, which is opposite to the side connected to the outer carrier layer side, at least partially applied a further adhesive layer.

Advantageously, a second adhesive layer is present between the carrier and the outer carrier layer, which preferably has the same composition as the further adhesive layer.

In addition, the bond strengths of the second adhesive layer and the other should be

Reduce the adhesive layer by stretching it extensively, in particular in the bond plane, in order to obtain a particularly advantageous adhesive strip.

Further preferably, the carrier projects beyond the outer carrier layer at least in one area. This area again serves as a handle on which to pull to to achieve stretching stretching, in particular in the bonding layer of the core layer

In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the support consists of foam, in particular of homo- and copolymers of ethylene, in particular of low and very low density polyethylenes (LDPE, LLDPE, VLDPE), from

Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers and mixtures of the aforementioned polymers and / or films of polyvinyl acetates, polypropylenes, polyurethanes based on aromatic and aliphatic diisocyanates, polystyrene, impact-modified polystyrenes, PVC, acrylate copolymers.

The foams can be used crosslinked or uncrosslinked.

The thicknesses of the foams used are in particular between 175 .mu.m and 10 mm, preferably between 250 .mu.m and 5 mm, particularly preferably between 350 .mu.m and

3 mm. The bulk densities may be 20 to 400 kg / m ³ , preferably 25 to 250 kg / m ³ , particularly preferably from 25 to 150 kg / m ³ . The foam structure may be closed cell, open cell or mixed cell. Skived or uncutted foams of integral or non-integral structure can be used. Also usable according to the invention are laminates of several foams.

In order to produce a sufficient anchoring of the PSAs used on the foams, they are advantageously subjected to a pretreatment during the production and / or prior to their coating with pressure-sensitive adhesive. Suitable pretreatment processes include the fluorine pretreatment, the corona pretreatment, the plasma pretreatment and the flame pretreatment, the latter in particular by means of an electrically polarized flame. Pretreatment methods can be used alone or in combination. For skived foams and integral foams, a priming of the foam can be carried out to further improve the adhesive anchoring.

Open cell and mixed cell foams may be impregnated.

The foam carriers may undergo pretreatment or damage by, for example

Be perforated, cut or punched. A corresponding pretreatment can be carried out before or after the coating with adhesive become. The result of the pretreatment are in particular cuts in the foam-containing carrier or the dissolution of material from the foam-containing carrier, which reduce the mechanical strength of the carrier. Examples of such pretreatments are cuts, punches and perforations. These may cover the entire surface of the foam-containing carrier or be present in limited areas. They can be a regular structure or repeat order or irregular.

A distinction can be made between pretreatments in which the original form of the foam-containing support materials is retained and those in which

Material removal (for example punching out) or by thermal treatment (for

Example melting) material-free areas are generated approximately in the form of hole-like or channel-like openings in the carrier. Cuts as well as material-free

Areas may penetrate only partially or completely the foam-containing carrier or in mixed form. They can be introduced on one or both sides in the foam-containing carrier.

Optionally, a barrier layer may be integrated between the foam and pressure-sensitive adhesives to reduce the migration of migratory materials between PSAs and foam.

A composite of second adhesive, further adhesive and carrier, consisting of a high-tensile tear-resistant carrier and two identical adhesive, which lose their adhesive force during stretching stretching, is described for example in WO 92/11333 A1. This composite can be used in an inventive development as a basis in an adhesive strip according to the invention.

Further preferably, the first adhesive layer is based on silicone and in particular is crosslinked. On hydrophilic substrates, this achieves optimum bonding strengths, even in wet and damp conditions.

The adhesive may consist of a silicone-containing polymer and / or a silicone resin. Both blends of silicone resins and rubbers can be used as well as reaction products of the two, for example by condensation or addition crosslinking. In the case of the resins, it is possible to use both those based on R ₃ SiO ₂ and SiO _4/2 , but it is also possible for additional monomers of the form R ₂ Si _2/2 or RSiO _{3Z 2 to be} present, as described, for example, in US Pat. No. 2,676,182 A , US 3,627,851 A or US 5,110,890 A are described.

Silicone polymers can be based on polydimethylsiloxanes or polydiphenylsiloxanes. The use of block copolymers of silicones and polyureas is also possible. These block copolymers can be obtained from polyorganosiloxane diamines and diisocyanates.

For the crosslinking of the silicone polymers and silicone resins, there are basically two methods available. In the condensation crosslinking react silanol-containing silicone polymers with silanol-containing resins either by adding a catalyst or by elevated temperature with each other.

For addition crosslinking, alkenyl-containing silicone polymers are crosslinked with silicone resins having either silicone-bonded hydrogen or alkenyl groups through the use of platinum catalysts.

The silicone adhesives may contain fillers or pigments, as explained in detail below.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, a second outer carrier layer is present on the core layer or on the further adhesive layer at least in sections, which separates from the core layer or the further adhesive layer during stretching and preferably at least in sections on the free side with a third outer layer Adhesive layer is equipped. The second outer carrier layer preferably also has a maximum elongation at break of 120%, in particular 80%.

As the core layer is stretched, the outer backing layers separate therefrom, leaving two single-sided bonded adhesive strips on the respective substrate which can be peeled off. Further preferably, the outer carrier layer and the second outer carrier layer and / or the first and the third adhesive layer are identical.

Preferably, the adhesive of the core layer, the further adhesive and / or the third adhesive of block copolymers or a mixture thereof, in particular containing polymer blocks formed from vinyl aromatics (A blocks) and formed by polymerization of 1, 3-dienes (B blocks) ,

The vinylaromatics are advantageously styrene, and / or the B blocks are formed by polymerization of butadiene and / or isoprene or their hydrogenation products or by polymerization of isobutylene.

Resulting block copolymers may contain the same or different B blocks, which may be partially, selectively or fully hydrogenated. The

Block copolymers may have a linear A-B-A structure. Also usable are block copolymers of radial shape as well as star-shaped and linear

Multiblock copolymers. As another component, A-B diblock copolymers may be present. Block copolymers of vinylaromatics and isobutylene are also usable. All of the aforementioned polymers may be used alone or in admixture with each other.

Instead of styrene-butadiene block copolymers and styrene-isoprene block copolymers and their hydrogenation products, including styrene-ethylene / butylene block copolymers and styrene-ethylene / propylene block copolymers, it is also possible to use block copolymers and their hydrogenation products which use further polydiene-containing elastomer blocks, such as for example, copolymers of several different 1,3-dienes. Useful are further functionalized block copolymers in which the block copolymer is a maleic anhydride modified or silane modified styrenic block copolymer.

Typical use concentrations for the block copolymer are in a concentration in the range between 20 wt .-% and 70 wt .-%, in particular in the range between 30 wt .-% and 60 wt .-% and in the range of 35 wt .-% and 55 Wt .-% before. As other polymers, those based on pure hydrocarbons, for example, unsaturated polydienes such as naturally or synthetically produced polyisoprene or polybutadiene, chemically substantially saturated elastomers such as a saturated ethylene-propylene copolymer, an α-olefin copolymer, a polyisobutylene, a butyl rubber, an ethylene-propylene rubber or a chemically functionalized hydrocarbon such as a halogen-containing, acrylate-containing or vinyl ether-containing polyolefin, which can replace the vinyl aromatic-containing block copolymers up to about 100 phr (parts per hundred parts of resin) based on the styrene block copolymer.

It is also possible to use adhesives based on natural rubber.

The adhesive can be crosslinked by chemical, in particular radiation-chemical, for example by UV irradiation, γ-irradiation or by irradiation by means of fast electrons.

The adhesives of the present invention are optionally those whose tack is first generated by thermal or solvent activation.

The tackifier is an adhesive resin which is compatible with the elastomeric block of the styrenic block copolymers. Suitable tackifier resins include, inter alia, preferably nonhydrogenated, partially or fully hydrogenated resins based on rosin or rosin derivatives, hydrogenated polymers of dicyclopentadiene, non-hydrogenated, partially, selectively or completely hydrogenated hydrocarbon resins based on C ₅ , C ₅ / C ₉ or Cg monomer streams, polyterpene resins based on α-pinene and / or β-pinene and / or δ-limonene, a hydrogenated polymer of pure Cs or Cg aromatics. The aforementioned adhesive resins can be used both alone and in admixture.

Preferably, the mixture contains at least one additive. Antioxidants are usually added to stabilize the adhesives. Additives may be primary or secondary antioxidants, in particular come as primary antioxidants sterically hindered phenols and as secondary antioxidants phosphites or thiols used. C radical scavengers can also be added. As an additive, however, it is also possible to use light stabilizers, for example UV absorbers or sterically hindered amines. It is also possible to add antiozonants, metal deactivators, processing aids or endblock-enhancing resins.

Other possible additives may be plasticizers. The plasticizers may be liquid resins, plasticizer oils or low molecular weight liquid polymers which have a low molecular weight polyisobutylene having a molecular weight <1500 g / mol or a liquid EPDM (ethylene / propylene-diene terpolymer) type with a maximum proportion of 20 wt%, be used.

Fillers such as silica, glass (milled or in the form of spheres), alumina, zinc oxide, calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide or carbon black, to name but a few, as well as colored pigments and dyes and optical brighteners can also be used.

The external adhesives, that is to say the first adhesive, optionally the third adhesive layer, the further adhesive and the core layer, if this consists of an adhesive, can be provided with a cover which separates easily. A paper or a film with siliconization is suitable for covering the further adhesive and the core layer; fluorosiliconization is recommended for the first or third adhesive.

The following layer thicknesses have proven to be advantageous:

The outer carrier layer (s): up to 100 μm, in particular 20 to 100 μm.

• the first, second, third and further adhesives: 20 to 100 g / m ²

The measurements of the elongation at break, if not stated otherwise, are based on DIN 53504 with the use of S3 size shoulder bars and at a separation speed of 300 mm / min. Due to the properties described, the adhesive strip according to the invention can be used excellently for bonding an article to a hydrophilic surface.

According to the following method, it is particularly advantageous to separate two substrates bonded to the adhesive strip according to the invention by stretching the core layer in the direction of the bonding plane, in particular starting from the non-adhesive area until the core layer of at least one of the outer carrier layers so that the both substrates are separated from each other and on at least one of the two substrates, an outer support layer is further bonded, and the outer support layer including the first adhesive layer is peeled off at a withdrawal angle of greater than 45 ° from the other substrate.

With reference to the figures and examples described below, particularly advantageous embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail, without wishing to unnecessarily limit the invention.

FIG. 1 shows the pressure-sensitive adhesive strip 10 according to the invention, in which the core layer 1 consists of an adhesive which can be redetached by stretching in particular in the bonding plane.

The core layer 1 projects beyond the outer carrier layer 4 at least in a region which serves as a grip on which is pulled, in order to achieve the stretching stretch, in particular in the bonding plane of the core layer 1. This area is not adhesive-sensitized on both sides by the application of preferably siliconized pieces of film or paper 6.

Due to the adhesive nature of the core layer 1, the outer carrier layer 4 is joined to the core layer 1 in such a way that it separates from the core layer 1 during stretching of the core layer 1. A first adhesive layer 5, in particular a silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive, is applied over the entire surface of the outer carrier layer 4, specifically on the side opposite to that connected to the core layer 1.

It is important that the first adhesive layer 5, in particular a silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive, is located on the substrate.

FIG. 6 shows the first method step for detaching the article 1 1 bonded to the pressure-sensitive adhesive strip 10.

First, the core layer 1 is pulled on the handle of the bonding layer in the direction of the bonding, which leads to an elongation of the core layer 1. Due to the elongation, the core layer loses its adhesive strength, that is to say it separates from the outer carrier layer 4, which, because of the first adhesive 5, continues to be adhesively bonded to the substrate 12. At the same time, the pressure-sensitive adhesive strip 10 is released from the article 11. The stretching of the core layer 1 is continued until complete separation of the core layer 1 from the outer carrier layer 4 and the article 11 has taken place.

FIG. 7 shows the second method step for detaching the article 1 1 bonded to the pressure-sensitive adhesive strip 10.

To detach the outer carrier layer 4, this together with the first adhesive layer 5 is peeled off from the substrate 12 at a peel angle of greater than 45 °.

Neither on the substrate 12 still on the article 11 remain Klebmassereste. Examples

Preparation of the Adhesive Composition for Forming the Core Layer, the Further Adhesive and the First and Third Adhesives

The preparation and processing of the adhesives can be carried out from solution as well as from the melt. It has proven to be advantageous in this case for the further adhesive or the adhesive for forming the core layer, the production of the melt, for the first and third adhesive production from solution is preferred.

packing

Typical packaging forms of the pressure-sensitive adhesive strips according to the invention are adhesive tape rolls and adhesive strips, as obtained, for example, in the form of diecuts.

Preferably, all layers have substantially the shape of a cuboid.

Further preferably, all layers are connected to each other over the entire surface.

For the purposes of this invention, the general term "adhesive tape" encompasses all flat structures such as films or film sections which are expanded in two dimensions, tapes of extended length and limited width, tape sections, diecuts, labels and the like.

example 1

1, 8 wt .-% of the catalyst SYL-OFF 4000 from Dow Corning Corporation is mixed with 98.2 wt .-% Dow Corning 7657 Polydimethylsiloxankleberlösung and 36 microns spread on a PET Fone the thickness and at 140 ⁰ C for 10 min dried. After drying, the layer thickness of the adhesive is 60 g / m ² .

The thus coated film is cut to appropriate size then glued with the uncoated side so on the following tape, that the grip area remains free. Composition:

51.5 parts by weight linear SIS triblock copolymer having a block polystyrene content of 29% by weight and a hardness measured according to Shore A of 60. (Vector 4211)

• 47.0 parts by weight of partially hydrogenated aromatic C ₉ hydrocarbon with a ring and ball softening point of 100 ⁰ C (Regalite S 260)

• 1, 0 parts by weight of phenolic antioxidant (Irganox 1010)

0.5 part by weight light stabilizer (polymeric hindered amine)

The ingredients are kneaded in a sigma-blade mixer at 160 ⁰ C until homogeneous. The hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesive composition obtained in this way is coated at 160 ^° C. in a line width of 410 μm by means of a slot die onto a 80 μm thick release film of monoaxially stretched polypropylene, siliconized on both sides. The resulting bale material (consisting of double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape with one-sided release film cover) is processed into sheets (adhesive strips) on a system consisting of two laminating stations, a decasing station, two further laminating stations, a longitudinal cutting device and a separating device (format punch). For this purpose, a 20 mm wide and 15 micron thick polyethylene terephthalate film is laminated on the separating film-free side (front side) of 120 mm width at the first laminating station in the middle. At the second laminating station, siliconized polyethylene dividing film of 120 mm width is laminated in such a way that the separating film protrudes 2.5 mm over the adhesive on both sides. After the release film cover of the back is uncovered at a Dekaschierstation, the same covers (20 mm wide polyethylene terephthalate film center, 125 mm wide siliconized polyethylene film over the entire surface with 2.5 mm supernatant on both sides) made for the back. Separation into sheets of 62.5 mm length and 19 mm width is achieved by cutting (in the longitudinal direction) and punching on a form punch.

The ring and ball method is the usual method for determining softening points. Details can be found in ASTM E 28 and DIN EN 1238, to which reference is hereby expressly made.

The resulting adhesive bond with the silicone adhesive side on a vertical

Glued glass wall and pressed with a force of 100 N. On the Powerstrips side, a steel hook measuring 4 x 2 cm is glued to which a pin is vertical protrudes, to which a weight can be attached. The gluing is done so that the handle of the power strip protrudes from the glued joint. Subsequently, a weight of 500 g is hung at a distance of 30 mm from the wall to the described pin.

Comparative example

As described in Example 1, an adhesive strip according to claim 1 is glued without additional outer support layer and adhesive and the pin loaded with the same weight.

In both examples, 10 minutes after bonding, the humidity in the room is reduced to 85% RH. elevated. While the non-improved strip often drops within the first hour, the adhesive strip of Example 1 still lasts for several days.

The adhesive strip of Example 1 can be solved easily again. For this purpose, we pulled on the handle of the core layer, the peel force is comparable to that of a normal bond with the adhesive strip without additional outer support layer and adhesive. During the dissolving process by means of stretching, the core layer separates from the PET film, which remains on the tile with the silicone compound. This can now be peeled off easily, without leaving residues on the glass.
