Abstract
Abstract A cured adhesive composition possessing excellent cohesive strength at high temperatures along with excellent shear strength and solvent resistance is prepared by the electron beam initiated curing of an adhesive composition comprising selectively hydrogenated monoalkenyl arene/conjugated diene block copolymer component, tackifying resin and a di-to-tetra-functional acrylate or methacrylate selected from the group consisting of acrylic and methacrylic acid esters of polyols.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
An adhesive composition possessing excellent UV stability and high temperature cohesive strength prepared by the electron beam curing of an adhesive composition, said adhesive composition comprising: (a) 100 parts by weight of a block copolymer component comprising an A'B' block copolymer and a multiblock copolymer having at least two end blocks A and at least one mid block B wherein the A' and A blocks are monoalkenyl arene polymer blocks and the B' and B blocks are substantially completely hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer blocks; (b) about 25 to about 200 parts by weight of a tackifying resin compatible with block B; and (c) about 1 to about 100 parts by weight of a di-to-tetra-functional acrylate or methacrylate selected from the group consisting of the acrylic and methacrylic acid esters of polyols.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
