Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Composition Comprising Cross-Linked Polyalkylene Oxide and Water Absorbent Hydrophilic Agents
First Claim
1. A pressure sensitive adhesive composition consisting of a continuous phase comprising cross-linked polyalkyleneoxide polymer and a discontinuous phase comprising water absorbent hydrophilic agents characterized in thata) the water absorbent hydrophilic agent(s) is present in an amount between 1 and 40% w/w of the total adhesive composition;
- andb) the continuous phase comprises the reaction product (X) of;
(i) a polyalkyleneoxide polymer having one or more unsaturated end groups, and where more than 90% w/w of the polyalkylene oxide polymer consist of polymerised alkyleneoxide moities having three or more carbon atoms, and(ii) an organosiloxane comprising one or more Si—
H groups,carried out in the presence of an addition reaction catalyst.

Abstract
Accordingly, the present invention relates to a pressure sensitive adhesive composition consisting of a continuous phase comprising cross-linked polyalkyleneoxide polymer and a discontinuous phase comprising water absorbent hydrophilic agents wherein
- a) the water absorbent hydrophilic agent(s) is present in an amount between 1 and 40% w/w of the total adhesive composition; and
- b) the continuous phase comprises the reaction product (X) of:
- (i) a polyalkyleneoxide polymer having one or more unsaturated end groups, and where more than 90% w/w of the polyalkylene oxide polymer consist of polymerised alkyleneoxide moities having three or more carbon atoms, and
- (ii) an organosiloxane comprising one or more Si—H groups,
- carried out in the presence of an addition reaction catalyst.
The present invention also relates to medical devices comprising such pressure sensitive adhesives.
