Abstract:
A low application temperature rubber-based hot melt adhesive having properties particularly well suited for use in the construction of disposable articles has been invented. The adhesive comprises a styrene block copolymer and a type of wax in an amount effective to produce a viscosity at 120 C. of below about 10,000 centipoises, a cube flow at 130 F. (54 C. ) of less than about 300%, a DSC crystallization temperature of less than about 75 C. and a storage modulus of less than about 1. 0×10dynes/cmat 10 rads/sec (25 C. ).

US Classification:
524505, 524570, 524528, 524502, 156334
Abstract:
The invention relates to a low application temperature hot melt adhesive. More specifically, the low application temperature hot melt adhesive comprises olefin copolymers with an average Melt Index greater than 5 but less than about 35 g/10 minutes at 190 C. The adhesive is particularly useful in the construction of nonwoven articles.
