Abstract: A reusable or disposable adhesive dispensing cartridge including a housing for containing a quantity of adhesive, an adhesive delivery element connected to the housing and having a plurality teeth spaced apart by recesses and a plate movably mounted in the housing to force adhesive from the housing and through flow passages that extend between the interior of the housing and the recesses. An adhesive applicator includes a cartridge holder for retaining the cartridge and a movable drive element coupled to the cartridge plate to move the plate in a direction to force adhesive out of the housing and through the flow passages.

Abstract: The present invention is a composition comprising a polyterpene resin and at least two low molecular weight polyolefins as discussed below. The polyterpene resin preferably has a melting point of from about 60.degree. C. to about 150.degree. C. The composition contains from 15 to 40% based on the weight of the polyterpene resin of at least two polyolefin polymers selected from the group consisting of polyethylene homopolymers, polyethylene copolymers and oxidized polyethylene. There is at least one polymer selected from the group of copolymers and oxidized polyethylene.

Abstract: The present invention is a sulfur stabilized composition. The composition comprises an oxidized polyolefin, preferably oxidized polyethylene or oxidized polypropylene, with oxidized polyethylene being most preferred. The composition of the present invention optionally contains a filler.

Abstract: The present invention is an asphaltic composition which is useful as a roofing asphalt formulation and method of making this formulation. The composition includes about 39 to 99 percent by weight of oxidized asphalt and between 1 and about 8 percent of oxidized polyethylene. It is preferred to use between about 0 to 40 percent of the saturant, which can be an unoxidized asphalt, to modify the viscosity of the formulation. There can be a filled asphaltic composition comprising about 40 percent by weight to about 99 percent by weight of the asphaltic composition and about 1 percent by weight to about 60 percent by weight of filler, which can be stone dust.
