Abstract: The present invention is directed to compositions that are useful for forming breathable film layers and articles constructed therefrom. The composition comprises at least one thermoplastic polymer compounded with at least one diluent or a radiation curable composition. The composition is impermeable to fluids and exhibits a water vapor transmission rate of at least 100 g/m2/day.
Abstract: This invention relates to a removable grade hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive comprising from about 5% to about 30% by weight of the adhesive of a block copolymer having styrene endblocks and ethylene/butylene or ethylene/propylene midblocks and having a coupling efficiency of less than about 65% and a melt index of greater than about 20 grams/10 minutes; from about 10% to about 50% by weight of the adhesive of at least one block copolymer having styrene endblocks and a coupling efficiency from about 65% to about 100%; from about 20% to about 60% by weight of the adhesive of a tackifying resin and from about 10% to about 40% by weight of the adhesive of a liquid plasticizing oil.
