 Substantially amorphous olefin copolymers and compatible tackifying resins useful as hot-melt, pressure-sensitive adhesives

Details
Inventors: Trotter, Jimmy R.; Joyner, Frederick B.; McConnell, Richard L.;
Assignee: Eastman Kodak Company (Rochester, NY)
Primary Examiner: Seccuro; Carman J.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Tootle; Clyde L., Reece, III; Daniel B.

This invention relates to blends of compatible tackifiers with substantially amorphous olefin copolymers containing at least one C.sub.3 to C.sub.5 linear .alpha.-olefin and 40 to 60 mole percent of at least one C.sub.6 to C.sub.10 linear .alpha.-olefin which are useful as hot-melt, pressure-sensitive adhesives. The unmodified copolymer base resins have melt viscosities in the range of >75,000 cp up to about 1,000,000 cp at 190.degree. C. The addition of the compatible tackifiers to the copolymer base resin causes a dramatic and unexpected increase in the shear adhesion failure time in addition to improved coatability as well as substantial increases in probe tack and peel adhesion values of the copolymers.
