Patent ID: 7285583

Claim:
A multiple component liquid plastisol/hot melt hybrid adhesive composition comprised of a reinforcing phase component and an adsorbent phase component, both as heterogeneously dispersed particulates within a liquid component, wherein the reinforcing phase component is substantially incompatible with the liquid component, the adsorbent phase component is compatible or substantially more compatible with the liquid component than is the reinforcing phase component, and the reinforcing phase and adsorbent phase components are partially compatible with one another, the composition being chlorine free and having the rheological characteristics of a liquid dispersion at room temperature and being capable of forming a molten blend at elevated temperatures that solidifies into a non-exuding solid adhesive upon cooling, wherein the dispersed particulates are comprised of a core surrounded by a shell, the core being comprised of substantially the same matter as that which comprises the reinforcing phase component in the fused, solid adhesive, and the shell being comprised of substantially the same matter as that which comprises the adsorbent phase component in the fused, solid adhesive.
