Methods for forming melt processable, actinic radiation polymerizable and crosslinkable adhesives are described. In certain versions, the adhesives or pre-adhesive compositions include two initiators and are polymerized and/or crosslinked by exposure to actinic radiation such as UV light or electron beam radiation. Also described are pre-adhesive compositions including polymerizable monomers, articles including the adhesives, and various methods and systems related to the adhesives and their application. In addition, various apparatuses are described for polymerizing or crosslinking the compositions.

Two stage methods for processing adhesives and related compositions

A variety of adhesive laminates are described, many of which perform functions such as liquid indication, outgassing, liquid retention, electrical conducting, and sound channeling. Also described are adhesive regions on face materials in which the regions exhibit particular dimensional proportions. Methods involving direct and transfer coating of adhesives are also described. In a particular version, a method of roll to roll transfer coating of sprayed pressure sensitive adhesives is described. Also described are various adhesive films and laminates many of which can be produced using the methods.
