Patent ID: 8921464

Claim:
A hot melt adhesive composition comprising: a. an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer or ethylene n-butyl acrylate copolymer; b. a wax; and c. a templating agent; and wherein the copolymer has a melt index greater than 330 grams/10 minutes at 190° C/2.16 kg, measured in accordance with ASTM D1238; wherein the templating agent is provided in an effective amount such that the ΔH of the adhesive is increased by at least 5% over the adhesive composition without the templating agent; wherein the average crystal size in the adhesive composition is increased by at least 10% over the adhesive composition without the templating agent; and wherein the heat resistance of the adhesive is increased by at least 5° F. over the adhesive composition without the templating agent.
