Patent ID: 7910794

Claim:
A disposable article comprising a film layer bonded to a permeable layer using a hot melt construction adhesive at an adhesive coating weight of between about 0.7 and 16 gm-m ˜2 , the construction adhesive consisting essentially of: (a) about 60 wt % poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) having about 28 wt. % vinyl acetate and a melt index of about 800 gm-10 min −1 when measured according to ASTM-D1238; and (b) about 40 wt % of a rosin ester; wherein the adhesive composition has improved VOC release and improved thermal stability when compared to conventional adhesive and an initial T-peel adhesion under ambient conditions of greater than 400 g; wherein the adhesion of the composition does not change substantially after at least about 14 days at about 49° C.; and wherein the viscosity of the composition is stable for at least about 72 hours at about 150° C.
