RECYCLABLE OLEFIN BASED HOT MELT PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVE LABEL AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THEREOF

Abstract:

A pressure sensitive hot melt adhesive is provided including at least one olefin block copolymer, a hydrogenated hydrocarbon tackifier, and a plasticizer. The adhesive is free from any oil containing constituents and the pressure sensitive label with the adhesive exhibits desired adhesion performance in low temperature as well as in normal temperature for a host of different substrates. The adhesive also resistant to yellowing, water-whitening and is non-swelling. The adhesive and the label enables recycling in recycling streams when the face material and/or substrate being labeled is also of olefin based material.
