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.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 82 words
A hot melt adhesive composition consisting essentially of (A) 99 to 80 wt % of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, (B) 1 to 20 wt % of a monofunctional or polyfunctional cyanate ester compound having at least one cyanate group in the molecule, and (C) a monofunctional or polyfunctional maleimide compound or a cross-linking catalyst for the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (A) in an amount of from 0.1 to 5% by weight based on the weight of the component (A) and the component (B).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 82 words
A hot melt adhesive composition consisting essentially of (A) 99 to 80 wt % of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, (B) 1 to 20 wt % of a monofunctional or polyfunctional cyanate ester compound having at least one cyanate group in the molecule, and (C) a monofunctional or polyfunctional maleimide compound or a cross-linking catalyst for the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (A) in an amount of from 0.1 to 5% by weight based on the weight of the component (A) and the component (B).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 21 words
The composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein the amount of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is 95 to 85 wt %.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 23 words
The composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer has a vinyl acetate content of 8 to 50 wt %.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 18 words
The composition as claimed in claim 3, wherein the vinyl acetate content is 25 to 40 wt %.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 60 words
