Abstract
An adhesive composition comprises: (i) at least one ethylene/α-olefin interpolymer, (ii) at least one tackifÊer; and (iii) optionally at least one additive, such as a plasticizer, wax and antioxidant. Preferably, the ethylene/α-olefin interpolymer has a M/Mfrom about 1.7 to about 3.5, at least one melting point, T, in degrees Celsius, and a density, d, in grams/cubic centimeter, wherein the numerical values of Tand d correspond to the relationship: T≧858.91−1825.3()+1112.8(). The composition has relatively higher SAFT temperature and can be used in hot melt adhesives pressure-sensitive adhesives, and thermoplastic marking paints.
