Abstract:
1. A pressure sensitive adhesive comprising: (a) from 5 to 95 weight percent of at least one interpolymer, which is a homogeneous ethylene/α-olefin interpolymer, characterized as having a density from 0.850 to 0.885 g/cm (b) from 0 to 95 weight percent of at least one tackifier; (c) from 0 to about 90 weight percent of at least one plasticizer; and (d) from 0 to 90 weight percent of at least one wax; wherein the sum of components (b), (c), and (d) comprises 5 to 95 weight percent of said adhesive composition, wherein said adhesive is characterized as having a storage modulus (G′), at 25° C., of less than 1×10 7 dynes/cm 2 (1 MPa), and a glass transition temperature (T g ) from −65° C. to 30° C., and wherein the α-olefin is randomly distributed within the ethylene/α-olefin interpolymer.
