Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is an improved pressure-sensitive adhesive composition comprising an unvulcanized elastomer component comprising at least one block copolymer of styrene and either isoprene or butadiene with a polystyrene block on at least one end of the block copolymer, a tackifying resin component compatible with the elastomer component, a plasticizer component, and a modifier component of unvulcanized cis-1,4-polybutadiene. Also disclosed is the pressure-sensitive adhesive structure comprising a web of material, such as paper, upon which is coated a layer of the above-described composition.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
95 words
A pressure-sensitive adhesive composition comprising a mixture of: A. 100 parts by weight of an unvulcanized elastomer component comprising at least one block copolymer of styrene and either isoprene or butadiene, with a polystyrene block on at least one end of the block copolymer; B. about 100 to about 250 parts by weight of a tackifying resin component compatible with the elastomer component; C. about 10 to about 75 parts by weight of a plasticizer component; and D. about 2 to about 100 parts by weight of a modifier component consisting essentially of unvulcanized cis-1,4-polybutadiene.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
95 words
A pressure-sensitive adhesive composition comprising a mixture of: A. 100 parts by weight of an unvulcanized elastomer component comprising at least one block copolymer of styrene and either isoprene or butadiene, with a polystyrene block on at least one end of the block copolymer; B. about 100 to about 250 parts by weight of a tackifying resin component compatible with the elastomer component; C. about 10 to about 75 parts by weight of a plasticizer component; and D. about 2 to about 100 parts by weight of a modifier component consisting essentially of unvulcanized cis-1,4-polybutadiene.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition according to claim 1, wherein the elastomer component is provided by a mixture of different block copolymers of styrene and either isoprene or butadiene, each of which has a polystyrene block on at least one end of the block copolymer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition according to claim 1, wherein the amount of polystyrene in the elastomer component is from about 10% to about 40%, by weight, of the elastomer component.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
A pressure-sensitive adhesive structure comprising a web of sheet material having coated on at least one side a layer of the composition of claim 1 in a thickness of from 0.5 mils to 3 mils.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
43 words
A laminated sheet material for use as pressure-sensitive adhesive labels and the like comprising, in the following order, a paper base sheet, a layer of release material, a layer of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition according to claim 1, and a paper face sheet.
