Abstract
The adhesives of seventeen acrylic pressure sensitive cloth adhesive tapes and seventeen kraft adhesive tapes were analyzed by pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry(Py-GC/MS) at 500°C. The main pyrolysates were butyl acrylate (BA), 2-ethylhexyl acrylate(2EHA), ethyl acrylate(EA), methyl methacrylate(MMA), tolylenediisocyanate(TDI) and the pyrolysates of an aromatic petroleum resin(C9 Resin). The acrylic adhesives were classified into twelve groups according to their pyrolysates.
