Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a hot-melt adhesive composed of a composition comprising an acid-modified olefin resin formed by graft modification of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride or a resin composition containing said modified olefin resin and an oxirane ring-containing compound, wherein said composition has a carbonyl group concentration of 1 to 600 millimoles per 100 g of the composition and an oxirane oxygen concentration of 0.01 to 50 millimoles per 100 g of the composition.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
94 words
A hot-melt adhesive composition comprising (A)(i) an acid-modified olefin resin formed by graft modification with an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride or (ii) a resin mixture of said acid-modified olefin resin with an olefin resin and (B) an oxirane ring-containing compound selected from the group consisting of epoxidized glycerides, epoxidized fatty acid esters and epoxy hexahydrophthalic acid esters, said composition having a carbonyl group concentration of 1 to 600 millimoles per 100 g of the composition and an oxirane oxygen concentration of 0.01 to 50 millimoles per 100 g of the composition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
94 words
A hot-melt adhesive composition comprising (A)(i) an acid-modified olefin resin formed by graft modification with an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride or (ii) a resin mixture of said acid-modified olefin resin with an olefin resin and (B) an oxirane ring-containing compound selected from the group consisting of epoxidized glycerides, epoxidized fatty acid esters and epoxy hexahydrophthalic acid esters, said composition having a carbonyl group concentration of 1 to 600 millimoles per 100 g of the composition and an oxirane oxygen concentration of 0.01 to 50 millimoles per 100 g of the composition.
