Abstract: Provided are adhesive compositions composed of a polyolefin composition comprising at least about 50 wt. % polypropylene and at least one wax. The polymer compositions have a Dot T-Peel of about 1 Newton or more, a branching index (g?) of 0.95 or less measured at the Mz of the polymer, a molecular weight of 100,000 or less, and the adhesive compositions has a fast set time. The packaging industry desires adhesive compositions having a fast set time, such as those setting in less than five seconds from a molten state at conventional packaging operating temperatures to a solid or quasi solid having favorable Dot T-Peel, set time, and or fiber tear adhesion properties. Polymer based adhesives performing within this window are a favorable alternative to conventional formulated adhesives. The provided adhesive compositions exhibit a favorable balance of properties such as high adhesive strength, wide temperature operating window, and fast set time.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for making molecular sieve catalyst particles. Dried molecular sieve catalyst particles are used to make the catalyst. The dried molecular sieve catalyst particles are put into an aqueous solution and stirred to make a slurry. The slurry is dried to make the molecular sieve catalyst particles. Optionally, the dried molecular sieve catalyst particles made from the slurry are calcined.
