Patent ID: 8702900

Claim:
A low application temperature hot melt adhesive comprising: (a) at least about 5 wt % of an olefin copolymer, wherein the olefin copolymer has an average Melt Index range of greater than 5 and less than about 35 g/10 minutes at 190° C.; (b) from about 40 to about 70 wt % of a tackifier; (c) from about 0.5 to about 5 wt % a wax; (d) from about 1 to about 30 wt % of a plasticizer diluent; and (e) from 0 to about 5 wt % of an optional component wherein the sum of the total wt % of the hot melt adhesive equals to 100; wherein the adhesive has a viscosity of below about 11,000 centipoises at 120° C., a yield stress (12 in/min extensional rate) range of from about 7 to about 50 psi at 25° C., a cube flow of less than about 200% at 60° C., and a cross-over temperature (when G″=G′) greater than about 70° C.
