Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
Adhesive composition comprising (a) a polyester derived from 50 to 100 mole % of an acid component comprising terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, or a mixture of terephthalic and isophthalic acid, and a glycol component comprising at least one glycol having from 2 to 12 carbon atoms, said polyester having a melting point of about 80°-180° C. and a heat of fusion of less than 10 calories per gram, and (b) from about 0.2% to about 25% based on the weight of said polyester of an ester selected from ##STR6## wherein R 1 is ##STR7## or H and R 2 and R 3 are each ##STR8## or H, and at least one of R 1 , R 2 and R 3 is ##STR9##
