This invention claims hot melt adhesive compositions that can be used to form elastic composites that are useful in disposable absorbent articles. The compositions have good elastic recovery and high peel adhesion at a viscosity of less than about 20,000 cps at 177&#xb0; C. The low viscosity makes it possible to apply the adhesive at a high line speed and target application to only those areas requiring elastic performance.

Elastic adhesive composition and an elastic composite made with the same

This invention claims low application temperature hot melt adhesive compositions including at least about 15% by weight of a first styrene block copolymer with a melt flow rate of at least about 15 g/10 minutes (190&#xb0; C., 2.16 kgs) and a diblock content of no greater than about 10% by weight.

Low application temperature hot melt adhesive composition

The present invention relates to a hot melt adhesive composition, comprising based on the total weight of the hot melt adhesive composition: (a) from about 10 to about 50 weight percent of at least one block copolymer; (b) from about 15 to about 50 weight percent of at least one plasticizer; (c) from about 15 to about 50 weight percent of at least one resins; (d) optionally up to 25 weight percent of at least one semicrystalline polyolefin; and (e) optionally up to 10 weight percent of at least one wax. The hot melt adhesive composition of the invention can be used for bonding bundles of metal containers such as cans into packs.
