Abstract:
An article comprising a backing and a wet-stick pressure-sensitive adhesive comprising:(a) at least one copolymer comprising: (i) at least one copolymerized monoethylenically unsaturated (meth)acrylic acid ester monomer, wherein the (meth)acrylic acid ester monomer when homopolymerized has a Tg of less than about 10Â° C.; and (ii) at least one copolymerized hydrophilic acidic monomer which is present, and is present in an amount of no greater than about 35 wt-%; and (b) at least one nonreactive poly(alkylene oxide) copolymer that is compatible with the copolymerized monomers, wherein the nonreactive poly(alkylene oxide) copolymer comprises at least two copolymerized alkylene oxides, at least one of which is hydrophilic and at least one of which is hydrophobic, wherein the HLB value of the nonreactive poly(alkylene oxide) copolymer is 5 to about 15, and further wherein the article comprising a backing and a wet-stick pressure-sensitive adhesive adheres to wet skin.
