Abstract
A novel adhesive composition effective in bonding low-energy plastic surfaces to each other which provides a tensile lap shear strength in excess of about 520 pounds per square inch gauge which comprises (1) an ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer having from about four to about 30 weight percent of a vinyl ester and a melt index of about 0.5 to about 75; (2) a tackifier selected from the group consisting of (a) a rosin, (b) a rosin ester, (c) a terpene resin, (d) a terpene-phenolic resin and (e) a rosin-modified phenolic resin; and (3) a polyethylene wax having a molecular weight of about 750 to about 3000, a penetration of about 0.25 to about 1.5, a density of about 0.93 to about 0.97, a melting point of at least about 110.degree. C. and a linearity of at least about 70 percent, said novel adhesive composition having a Ring and Ball softening point of at least about 110.degree. C.
