Abstract:

The invention provides a hot melt adhesive composition including a tubular reactor copolymer of ethylene and 5 to 20 mol % of comonomer units derived from an alkyl acrylate or alkyl methacrylate, wherein the copolymer has a melt index of at least 300 g/10 min. The alkyl group of the alkyl acrylate or alkyl methacrylate can be a linear or branched Cto Cgroup, particularly n-butyl. If desired, the hot melt adhesive can further include tackifiers, waxes, antioxidants and other desired additives. The hot melt adhesive composition shows improved heat resistance and favorable properties, such as has a shear adhesion fail temperature of at least 80 C. , without the need to use high melting waxes. The invention further provides articles such as cartons, cases, trays, bookbindings or disposables including the hot melt adhesive compositions.

US Classification:

428516, 428520, 428522, 26417311, 26417314, 26417315

Abstract:

A co-extruded laminate of at least one layer of an ionomer and at least one layer of an acid polymer that can be thermoformed with a plastic substrate such as a polyolefin. The laminate can be pigmented to eliminate the need to paint the surface of the plastic substrate. Articles can be formed from the laminated substrate such as automotive parts and sporting equipment.

428516, 428520, 428522, 26417311, 26417314, 26417315

Abstract:

The present invention includes a laminate and formation of a laminate having at least one layer of an ionomer and at least one layer of an acid polymer or blend of acid polymer and a thermoplastic polyolefin that can be thermoformed to form a shaped laminate. The shaped laminate can then be contacted with a plastic substrate such as a thermoplastic polyolefin to form a composite article by such means as, for example, injection molding. The laminate can be pigmented to eliminate the need to paint the surface of the plastic substrate. Impact and scratch resistant articles can be formed from the laminated substrate such as automotive parts, appliance body parts and sporting equipment.
