Abstract
The invention relates to a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition which comprises a rubber component including at least 50 percent by weight of styrene-butadiene copolymers in combination with a resin component consisting of an aromatic hydrocarbon resin resulting from the polymerization of a thermally cracked petroleum fraction at temperatures in the range of -30.degree. to +60.degree. C. in the presence of Friedel-Crafts catalysts. The fraction as recovered from petroleum refining has a boiling range of 140.degree. to 220.degree. C. but is further fractionated to separate components boiling above and below about 180.degree. C. The material which is reacted has a conjugated diolefin content of 0.7 weight percent or less, and a ratio of conjugated diolefin content to total polymerizables of 3% or less. The total content of indene and its alkyl derivatives is 2 weight percent or less, and the ratio of indene content to total polymerizables is 8% or less. The fraction also contains significant amounts of vinyl toluenes boiling from 168.degree. to 171.degree. C.
