Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
A hot melt adhesive composition suitable for providing improved adhesivity to hard-to-stick surface including fluorocarbon surfaces, which comprises: (a) an effective amount of a thermoplastic polymer to form a hot melt adhesive; (b) an effective tackifying amount of a tackifying resin; and (c) an effective bond improving amount of a hot melt adhesive additive composition comprising the reaction product of: (i) a compound having at least one free epoxy reactive hydrogen other than a dimer acid, (ii) an epoxy resin, and (iii) a dimer acid wherein the reference of the additive composition are used in proportion that prevent crosslinking or gel formation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
