  • Patent number: 8921464
    Abstract: The invention provides hot melt adhesives that comprise a templating agent, a polymer and a wax. It has been discovered that hot melt adhesives with an effective amount of templating agent have improved heat resistance than adhesives. The adhesives find particular use as case, carton, and tray forming, and as sealing adhesives, including heat sealing applications, for example in the packaging of cereals, cracker and beer products.

  • Publication number: 20140272214
    Abstract: The invention provides hot melt adhesives comprising (A) a mixture of polymers consisting of (1) an amorphous alpha olefin, (2) an ethylene copolymer that has a Tg value equal to or less than ?35° C.; and (3) a styrene block copolymer; and (B) a polyethylene wax grafted with a functional group. These hot melt adhesives have high heat resistance and good low temperature performance, making them particularly well suited for end-of-line packaging application.
