Clear hot melt adhesives

Abstract:

Hot melt adhesives comprising (i) styrene butadiene copolymer, (ii) olefin block copolymer (OBC), and (iii) water white hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin are described. The adhesives exhibit high optical clarity and are relatively clear over a wide range of temperatures. The adhesives also exhibit good adhesion at cold temperatures. Also described are laminates of the adhesive with polymeric films, such as adhesive labels that can be used in labeling containers. In addition, various goods such as containers labeled using the adhesives are described.
