The invention relates to a hot melt adhesive composition including an amorphous poly-alpha-olefin, an amorphous propylene/butene copolymer, a grafted polyethylene, and a wax. The hot melt adhesive composition can be used for bonding woven polypropylene substrates. The invention also provides an adhesive bonded woven polypropylene bag.

Hot melt adhesive composition for bonding WPP substrates

A hot melt adhesive composition that includes a first copolymer that includes the reaction product of a functionalized polyethylene, a propylene-alpha-olefin polymer that includes at least 50 mole % propylene and has a viscosity of no greater than 10,000 centipoise at 190&#xb0; C., a ratio of z average molecular weight (Mz) to number average molecular weight (Mn) (Mz/Mn) of greater than 20, and a ratio of Mz to weight average molecular weight (Mw) (Mz/Mw) of greater than 3.0, and a free radical initiator.

A hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive composition includes ABA block copolymer(s), a midblock resin, a plasticizer, and optionally, an endblock resin. The A block is derived from styrene and B block is derived from butadiene or its hydrogenated version. The block copolymer(s) has an average styrene content of from about 15% to about 35%, an average diblock content of no less than about 20%, and an average solution viscosity of less than about 1,000 cps.
