Abstract: A hot melt adhesive based on a functionalized metallocene polyethylene copolymer finds use in packaging applications where high heat resistance, as well as good cold tolerance, is required.

Abstract: Multi-layer films are used to package hot melt adhesives. The packaging film does not require removal prior to use of the adhesive. Multi-layer films wherein at least one layer has a melting point below about 100° C. is used to package low application temperature hot melt adhesives.

Abstract: A hot melt adhesive based on ethylene-2-ethylhexyl acrylate copolymer finds use in packaging applications where high heat resistance, as well as good cold tolerance, is required.

Abstract: A hot melt adhesive comprising an adhesive polymer and a modified rosin-terpene, preferably a phenol modified rosin terpene. The adhesive is particularly useful in packaging applications.

Abstract: A low application temperature, high heat resistant hot melt adhesive comprising an ethylene n-butyl acrylate copolymer having a melt index (MI) of 750 grams/10 minutes or higher and an ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) polymer having a MI of 750 grams/10 minutes or higher are particularly well suited for case and carton sealing operations.

Abstract: A hot melt adhesive that exhibits distinct gellation properties at application temperatures at some time following application to a substrate. Adhesive having gellation properties are particularly useful in the manufacture of pleating articles, such as pleated filters.

Abstract: A low application temperature, high heat resistant hot melt adhesive comprising an adhesive polymer and a modified rosin and/or modified terpene which has a molecular weight to softening point ratio of less that about 10. The adhesive is particularly well-suited for hot filled packaging applications.

Abstract: An adhesive tape is disclosed. The adhesive tape comprises a high surface energy polyolefin film in combination with a water-dispersed adhesive. The polyolefin is prepared by blending from about 99.5% to about 90.0% by weight of a polymeric material with from about 0.5% to about 10.0% by weight of an amphiphile having the formula:RA(CHR.sup.2 [CH.sub.2 ].sub.n A.sup.1).sub.m R.sup.1where R and R.sup.1 are selected from the group consisting of the alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, acyl and arylacyl derivatives of an aliphatic or aliphatic/aromatic mono-acid with a molecular weight of from about 200 to about 500 daltons, A and A.sup.1 are selected from the group consisting of O, --NR.sup.3 --, carboxyl and S, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are selected from the group consisting of H, CH.sub.3 and C.sub.2 H.sub.5, n is from 0 to 3 and m is from 2 to 20.
