Patent ID: 8389117

Claim:
A hot-melt, adhesive composition, comprising: A. about 50 to 100 weight percent, based on the total weight of said adhesive composition, of at least one polyester, comprising (i) diacid residues, comprising about 70 to 100 mole percent, based on the total moles of diacid residues, of the residues of 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, and 0 to about 30 mole percent of the residues of at least one modifying dicarboxylic acid having about 4 to about 40 carbon atoms; and (ii) diol residues, comprising about 70 to about 100 mole percent, based on the total moles of diol residues, of the residues of at least two diols chosen from 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, triethylene glycol, and diethylene glycol; and about 30 to about 0 mole percent of the residues of at least one modifying diol; and B. 0 to about 50 weight percent of a tackifier, plasticizer, wax, nucleator, or combination thereof; wherein said polyester has an inherent viscosity of about 0.1 to about 0.4 dL/g as measured at 25° C. using 0.5 grams of polymer per 100 ml of a solvent comprising 60 weight percent phenol and 40 weight % tetrachloroethane, a melting temperature of about 80 to about 130° C., and a heat of melting of about 0.1 cal/g to about 6 cal/g; and wherein said adhesive composition has a melt viscosity of about 300 to about 3000 centipoise at 150° C.
