Definitions

  • This invention relates to adhesive films.
  • Thermoplastic adhesive films are frequently used to bond together various layers of automotive interior panels, such as headliners and visors.
  • the thermoplastic adhesive films can be used to impart thermoformability to, or enhance thermoformability of, such laminates.
  • the adhesive film helps retain a desired shape of an automobile interior panel after the laminate has been subjected to thermoforming. This is particularly important in situations where the laminate is free of thermosettable resins and rigid foam.
  • the thermoplastic film should remain relatively stiff at temperatures in excess of those which may be generated in a closed vehicle on a sunny day, to prevent sagging of the automobile interior panel (e.g., headiiner) under such conditions.
  • thermoformable laminates for automobile interior panels tend to have excellent adhesive properties. Although the stiffness of such monolayer adhesive films is acceptable for many applications, it would be desirable to provide an adhesive film for use in thermoformable laminates for making automobile interior panels that has both excellent adhesive properties and improved stiffness to impart excellent anti-sag properties to automobile interior panels, even at highly elevated (abuse) temperatures.

  • the multiple layer adhesive films of this invention have higher moduli than conventional monolayer adhesive films, and, therefore, impart improved sag resistance at elevated temperatures to laminated structures that are bonded together with these adhesive films.
  • the multiple layer adhesive films also exhibit enhanced elongation, extensibility, and improved tear resistance, thus providing excellent barrier properties when used to bond together various layers of formed laminar articles of manufacture including automotive interior panels, such as headliners, other automotive applications, such as trunk liners, and any of a variety of non-automotive end uses.

Face fabric 21 is adhered to layer 19 by film 20.

  • the automotive headliners were identical except for the adhesive film used.
  • the first headiiner, used as a control, was prepared utilizing a commercially available multipurpose monolayer adhesive film (INTEGRALTM 909 from The Dow Chemical Company) which is commonly employed in automotive headliners.
  • the multiple layer adhesive films of Examples 1 and 3 were used respectively in the second and third automotive headliners.
  • a sag test was performed on each of the headliners. The sag test involved placing the headiiner in a simulated roof bucket and subjecting it to a series of environmental conditions, including exposure to high (typically 1 10-120°C) temperatures which may be encountered in a closed vehicle on a sunny day.
  • each headiiner was measured for sag at the edges, and the second headiiner (the one utilizing the adhesive film from Example 1 ) was tested for sag at the center.
  • the testing was in conformance with a Ford Motor Company specification that requires a maximum of 13 millimeters (mm) of sag at the center of the headiiner and a maximum of 3.5 millimeters of sag at the edge of the headiiner.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un film adhésif à couches multiples possédant des caractéristiques à haute température, des propriétés barrière, et une résistance au percement et au déchirement. Ce film adhésif comprend au moins trois couches dont une couche centrale collée par liaison ou stratification à deux couches adhésives externes. Chaque couche adhésive est formée à partir d'un mélange de polymères contenant au moins un homopolymère éthylique et un copolymère éthylique ayant des fractions polaires. La couche centrale contient un polymère oléfinique dont le point de fusion est supérieur à celui de n'importe quel autre polymère de couche adhésive. Plusieurs films adhésifs à couches multiples peuvent être utilisés dans une structure stratifiée thermoformable incluant des couches fabriquées à partir de matériaux polymériques ou non polymériques.
