An adhesive composition includes a polyurethane polymer, a solvent and a co-solvent. The polyurethane polymer is an internally and/or externally hydrophilized thermoplastic polyurethane having an Mw of ≥50000 g/mol. The solvent is a polar-aprotic solvent. The co-solvent is selected from water, a primary alcohol having ≤10 carbon atoms, a vicinal diol or a mixture of at least two of the aforementioned compounds. The solvent and the co-solvent are present in such amounts that they form a homogenous mixture without the formation of a second phase when combined together at 20° C. The hydroxyl group content is ≥1 weight-%, based on the total weight of the composition. The polyurethane polymer content is ≥10 weight-%, based on the total weight of the composition and the composition forms a single continuous liquid phase. Examples for solvent/co-solvent combinations are methylethyl ketone (MEK) and water or MEK and ethanol.

The invention relates to a method for applying a material containing a meltable polymer comprising the step of applying a filament of the at least partially molten material from a discharge opening of a discharge element onto a substrate. The meltable polymer has the following properties: —a melting point (DSC, differential scanning calorimetry; second heating with a heating rate of 5° C./min) in a range from ≥40° C. to ≤120° C.; —a glass transition temperature (DMA, dynamic mechanical analysis in accordance with DIN EN ISO 6721-1:2011) in a range from ≥−70° C. to ≤30° C.; —a storage modulus G' (parallel plate oscillation viscometer in accordance with ISO 6721-10:2015 at a frequency of 1/s) at 20° C. above the melting point of ≥1·10Pa; —a storage modulus G′ (parallel plate oscillation viscometer in accordance with ISO 6721-10:2015 at a frequency of 1/s) at 10° C. below the melting point with prior heating to a temperature of 20° C. above the melting point and subsequent cooling with a cooling rate of 1° C./min of ≤1·10Pa; wherein the filament has an application temperature of ≥100° C. above the melting point of the meltable polymer for ≤5 minutes during the application process and wherein the meltable polymer further has the property that the storage modulus G′ (parallel plate oscillation viscometer in accordance with ISO 6721-10:2015 at a frequency of 1/s) of the meltable polymer at the highest application temperature reached during the application process is smaller by a factor of ≥10 than the storage modulus G′ (parallel plate oscillation viscometer in accordance with ISO 6721-10:2015 at a frequency of 1/s) at a temperature of 20° C. above the melting point of the meltable polymer.
