The properties of these microdispersions are achieved by the addition thereto of an effective amount of a co-surfactant such as a lower alkyl alcohol. The provided microdispersions can be drawn into films which will form clear, continuous films at ambient or near-ambient temperatures regardless of the softening point of the polyamide resin. Dispersions according to this invention find use in hot melt adhesives, coatings, inks, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 1991Date of Patent: April 18, 1995Assignee: Union Camp CorporationInventor: George A. Smith
