The present invention is directed to a method of packaging thermoplastic compositions. Preferably, the steps of the method may be employed in a continuous process. The method is especially suited for thermoplastic compositions such as pressure sensitive hot melt adhesives. The pressure sensitive thermoplastic composition may be packaged in an inclusion meltable film material wherein the film can be melted and blended with the hot melt adhesive during use, or alternatively, the composition may be contained in a drum. Alternatively the thermoplastic composition may be coated with a pelletizing aid.

Method for packaging thermoplastic compositions comprising sufficiently

A process of continuously packaging a thermoplastic composition such as a pressure sensitive hot melt adhesive. The method includes the steps of (a) forming a thermoplastic film to a rigid mold wherein said film becomes molten at or below the usage temperature of a hot melt adhesive composition, and the mold is in contact with ambient air; (b) dispensing hot melt adhesive into the lined mold; (c) disposing a thermoplastic film on the surface of the mold to form a packaged hot melt adhesive; (d) allowing the hot melt adhesive to reach a state in the presence of ambient air such that the packaged hot melt adhesive is removable from the mold.

Method for packaging thermoplastic compositions using a thermally

Method for preparing adhesive compositions subjecting a mixture of block polymer and other adhesive constituents e.g., resin(s) and oil(s) to shearing and smearing in an emulsifier disperser.

Production of block polymer adhesives

Method for preparing adhesive compositions by dissolution of the block polymer component(s) thereof in a hot melt of the other adhesive constituents e.g., resin(s) and oil(s).

Substantially pure honey, molasses, or mixtures thereof can be dried using extrusion or thin film drying. An improved cooling technique can be used with the thin film drying method by applying the hot dried molasses and honey to a cold, rotating cylinder, and then collecting the cooled product from the cylinder.
