Abstract: Novel adhesive products are prepared by coating a novel adhesive formulation onto appropriate substrates. The adhesive formulation is capable of maintaining coatable viscosity at solids levels in excess of 58% and may comprise an interpolymer prepared in the presence of a high concentration of chain transfer agents, and may also comprise external and/or internal crosslinking agents The Williams Plasticity Number of solids from the formulation may be less than 1.8 (determined in the absence of external crosslinking agents). Alkyl acrylamidoglycolate alkyl ether monomer copolymerized with a more reactive monomer provides an interpolymer having reduced need for strong acid catalysis.
