Abstract
This invention provides oil gel compositions which comprise a hydrogenated styrene-butadiene-styrene (SEBS) block copolymer (although other vinyl aromatic hydrocarbons may be used) which has an overall weight average molecular weight of from 30,000 to 300,000, a styrene block weight average molecular weight of from 4000 to 35,000, and a vinyl content of at least 45% by weight (% wt), preferably 45 to 90%, and an oil and, optionally, a polyolefin wax and/or an extender liquid. For every 100 parts by weight of copolymer, there should be at least 900 parts of oil or a mixture of oil and polyolefin wax and/or an extender liquid.
