Patent ID: 8030395

Claim:
A method of making a pressure sensitive adhesive dispersion comprising: mixing a monomer solution and an aqueous phase, wherein the monomer solution comprises from about 40 parts to about 70 parts water-insoluble monomer selected from the group consisting of alkyl acrylate, methacrylate, vinyl ester, and combinations thereof, and from about 0.01 part to about 0.2 parts monomer soluble free radical initiator, and wherein the aqueous phase comprises from about 0.1 part to about 2 parts surfactant, from about 0.02 part to about 1 parts polymeric suspension stabilizer, from about 1 part to about 20 parts latex binder; and water as a remaining balance, wherein all parts are given as parts by weight per 100 parts of the dispersion; and heating the monomer solution-aqueous phase mixture under an inert atmosphere.
