Abstract
Abstract A hot melt adhesive composition comprising (A) 99 to 80 wt % of a thermoplastic resin selected from the group consisting of a substantially amorphous thermoplastic saturated polyester resin, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and an ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer and (B) from 1 to 20 wt % of a monofunctional or polyfunctional cyanate ester compound having at least one cyanato group in the molecule is disclosed. The hot melt adhesive composition can further contain a co-modifier, a monofunctional or polyfunctional maleimide compound or a cross-linking catalyst for the thermoplastic resin (A). This composition has improved adhesive force, mechanical characteristics and heat resistance.
