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

This invention claims a disposable article including at least two bonded regions, one of the regions has elastic properties; the other region is different from the first.

Disposable article including at least one elastic bonded region

Disclosed is an aqueous adhesive composition including a surface-deactivated solid isocyanate and a blend of two different polyurethanes. A method of making an article that includes a coated adhesive layer and article made thereby are also disclosed.

Reactive adhesive with enhanced adhesion to metallic surfaces

Disclosed are adhesives and processes for preparing the same, comprising at least one first homogeneous ethylene/&#x3b1;-olefin interpolymer, and optionally at least one tackifier, and optionally at least one plasticizer. The claimed adhesives are useful as adhesives such as are employed in various applications, such as in masking tape, clear office tape, labels, decals, bandages, decorative and protective sheets (such as shelf and drawer liners), floor tiles, sanitary napkin/incontinence device placement strips, sun control films, the joining of gaskets to automobile windows, packaging, bookbinding, construction of nonwoven articles, and insulation bonding.

Adhesives comprising olefin polymers

The present invention includes methods and compositions relating to a hot melt adhesive that includes ethylene methyl methacrylate and a tackifying resin.

Composition and method relating to a hot melt adhesive

The invention is directed to a radiation curable adhesive composition comprising at least one vinyl modified block copolymer having a first polyvinyl aromatic block and a second polydiene block having vinyl functionality, and at least one tackifier. Optionally, the composition may comprises at least one second block copolymer that has not been vinyl modified, at least one platicizer, and at least one wax. The invention is also directed to a double-faced label formed from the composition and the method of producing said label.

Radiation curable adhesive compositions comprising block copolymers having vinyl functionalized polydiene blocks

This invention relates to an improved hot melt adhesive comprising a tackifying resin wherein the resin is substantially aliphatic and has a glass transition temperature of greater than 65&deg; C. and a thermoplastic polymer.

Hot melts utilizing a high glass transition temperature substantially aliphatic tackifying resin

A hot melt adhesive composition comprising a) from about 5 wt-% to about 50 wt-% of at least one homogeneous linear or substantially linear ethylene/alpha-olefin interpolymer characterized as having a density from 0.850 to 0.965 g/cm ; b) from about 1 wt-% to about 40 wt-% of at least one block copolymer; and c) from about 10 wt-% to about 75 wt-% of at least one tackifying resin wherein said adhesive does not fail cohesively.

Hot melt adhesive composition comprising homogeneous ethylene interpolymer and block copolymer

The invention is directed to an adhesive composition comprising a water based component including a film-forming polymer and a particulate thermoplastic component selected from the group consisting of thermoplastic polymers, thermoplastic resins, hot melt adhesive compositions, and mixtures thereof. The thermoplastic component has a mean particle size of from about 10 microns to about 1,500 microns. The adhesive composition is useful as a one-shot bookbinding adhesive, a primer composition as well as a second-shot adhesive for two-shot bookbinding method. The invention is also directed to the bookbinding methods using the adhesive composition.

Adhesive composition comprising a particulate thermoplastic component

Reactive hot melt polyurethane adhesives are useful in the graphic arts area, and in particular, for bookbinding applications such as casemaking, casing-in, gluing-off or thread-securing, facing, slip cases, lining-up, tightbacking, and bonding sides and joints; and for puzzle and gameboard lamination.

Bookbinding case-making applications utilizing polyurethanes

Bookbinding applications utilizing warm melt polyurethanes

A hot melt adhesive for multipurpose bookbinding comprising a) from about 35% to about 40% by weight of a styrene-isoprene-styrene bloc copolymer; b) from about 25% to about 50% by weight of at least one compatible tackifying resin; c) from about 5% to about 30% by weight of a synthetic high melt point wax; d) from about 5% to about 30% by weight of a solid benzoate plasticizer; e) up to about 25% of a compatible wax; and f) up to about 15% of a compatible polymer.
