Abstract
Abstract The hot melt pressure sensitive adhesives of the present invention comprise a blend of ethylene-propylene rubber, tackifying resin, and polybutene. The hot melt adhesive blend may also contain crystalline polypropylene. This hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive has a novel combination of properties including good resistance to plasticizer migration and good heat stability.
