Patent ID: 8287949

Claim:
A method for forming an adhesive bond comprising: depositing an aqueous dispersion on a substrate to from a selectively activatable coating, the aqueous dispersion comprising: (A) at least one polymer capable of forming an adhesive; (B) at least one dispersing agent; and (C) at least one tackifying resin, wherein the dispersion has at least one of an average particle size of from about 0.1 to about 100 microns and a polydispersity of less than 5; and selectively activating at least a portion of the coated substrate to form the adhesive bond; wherein the selectively activating comprises heating to a temperature of less than about 150 C, and wherein the at least one polymer (A) comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of polyethylene homopolymer, polypropylene homopolymer, ethylene-Î±-olefin copolymers, propylene-Î±-olefin copolymers, propylene-ethylene copolymers, and ethylene-Î±-olefin block interpolymers.
