Claim 1
Independent Claim
111 words
A HOT MELT ADHESIVE COMPOSITION CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF A HYDROGENATED COPOLYMER OF A SUBSTITUTED OR UNSUBSTITUTED ALKADIENE HAVING 4-12 CARBON ATOMS AND A SUBSTITUTED OR UNSUBSTITUTED VINYLSUBSTITUTED AROMATIC MONOMER HAVING 8-16 CARBON ATOMS PER MOLECULE WHEREIN SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF THE OLEFIN UNSATURATION IS HYDROGENATED, LEAVING THE AROMATIC UNSATURATION, A TACKIFIER AND ABOUT 10 TO ABOUT 30 PARTS BY WEIGHT PER ABOUT 40 TO ABOUT 70 PARTS BY WEIGHT OF THE COPOLYMER OF A LIQUID POLYALKADIENE HAVING ALKADINE UNITS OF 4-12 CARBON ATOMS PER MOLECULE, HAVING A WEIGHT AVERAGE MOLECULAR WEIGHT IN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 500 TO ABOUT 10,000 AND BEING SUBSTANTIALLY FREE OF OTHER FUCTIONAL GROUPS THAN C=C DOUBLE BONDS.
