Abstract
Abstract A hot melt adhesive comprising a blend of: from about 10% by weight to about 90% by weight of a blend of from 10% by weight to 90% by weight of an at least partially crystalline copolymer of butene-1 and ethylene, wherein the ethylene content is from about 1 mole percent to about 20 mole percent of said copolymer, and from 10% by weight to 90% by weight of a butene-1 homopolymer; from about 10% by weight to about 90% by weight of a tackifying resin; and from about 0.1 phr to about 0.5 phr of an antioxidizing agent.
