Abstract

Abstract Resins having a softening point from 10 DEG C. to 120 DEG C. especially 10 DEG C. to 80 DEG C. being a copolymer of a feed which is predominantly C5 olefines and diolefines and 10 to 60 wt. % of one or more monovinyl aromatic compounds are used as a tackifier for acrylic polymers or copolymers particularly in aqueous based pressure sensitive adhesives.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 82 words
A pressure sensitive adhesive polyacrylate latex emulsion comprising form 30% to 85% by weight on a dry basis of a polyacrylate and from 15% to 70% by weight on a dry basis of a tackifier resin having a softening point from 10° C. to 120° C. and being a copolymer of a feed which is predominantly C 5 olefins and diolefins and one or more monovinyl aromatic compounds, said resin containing from 10 to 60 wt. % of the monovinyl aromatic compound.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 82 words
A pressure sensitive adhesive polyacrylate latex emulsion comprising form 30% to 85% by weight on a dry basis of a polyacrylate and from 15% to 70% by weight on a dry basis of a tackifier resin having a softening point from 10° C. to 120° C. and being a copolymer of a feed which is predominantly C 5 olefins and diolefins and one or more monovinyl aromatic compounds, said resin containing from 10 to 60 wt. % of the monovinyl aromatic compound.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 36 words
