Abstract:
A hot melt adhesive composition includes less than 35% by weight polymer where the polymer includes an ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer, or a combination of an ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer and a propylene polymer, a wax, and a tackifying agent, and the composition exhibits a. viscosity of no greater than 2000 centipoise at 107° C.
Abstract:
The invention includes a hot melt adhesive composition including an olefin polymer and a high melt point hydrocarbon tackifying agent, such compositions unexpectedly provide improved bonding between the layers found in a disposable absorbent article. In particular, such compositions improve the bond between the nonwoven top sheet and the acquisition distribution layer.
Abstract:
This invention claims hot melt adhesive compositions that can be used to form elastic composites that are useful in disposable absorbent articles.The hot melt adhesive compositions combine several desirable properties including low viscosity, low odor, a desirable retractive profile improved snap back) as demonstrated by low mechanical hysteresis values and acceptable adhesion. These properties make the hot melt adhesives well suited to forming elastic composites. The improved retractive profile further allows for the ability to apply a lower coat weight and still maintain the elastic properties.
Abstract:
This invention claims hot melt adhesive compositions that can be used to form elastic composites that are useful in disposable absorbent articles. The compositions have good elastic recovery and high peel adhesion at a viscosity of less than about 15,000 cps at 177° C. (350° F.). The low viscosity makes it possible to apply the hot melt adhesive at a high line speed and target application to only those areas requiring elastic performance.
