Abstract
Abstract Copolyether ester amides having a melting point between about 85° and 140° C. are produced from: (A) lactams or omega-aminocarboxylic acids and/or equivalent amounts of dicarboxylic acids and diamines as polyamide-forming compounds; and (B) dicarboxylic acids and polyalkylene oxide diols as polyether ester forming compounds as thermoplastic adhesives for heat sealing textiles, where the polyamide forming compounds consist of at least 30% by weight of lauryllactam and the remaining compounds together with lauryllactam result in copolyamides which have melting points which lie in the range between about 90° to 150° C.; aliphatic dicarboxylic acids are used as the dicarboxylic acids; and components A and B are used in the weight ratio from 93/7 to 35/65.
