Abstract
A tackifier resin is prepared by polymerizing a monomer mixture of 10-70% piperylene concentrate and 30-90% of a vinyl aromatic monomer in the presence of a boron trifluoride catalyst and an inert diluent. The resin is water white in color, has a Gardner number of less than one, a softening point of 60.degree. to 120.degree. C. and a polydispersity of 1 to 5. The tackifier is used in formulations based on EVA, block copolymers and polyolefins for hot melt and pressure sensitive adhesive applications.
