Abstract
Abstract A heat-activated pressure-sensitive adhesive which comprises an aqueous emulsion of finely divided solids comprising a rubber polymer, a resin and a plasticizer, which optionally contains urea, a urea-compound and/or a polyhydroxy compound in the aqueous phase. Substrates such as plastic film, metal foil and cigarette paper may be effectively bonded.
