PETROLATUM CONTAINING HOT MELT BOTTLE LABELING ADHESIVE

摘要

A novel hot melt adhesive for bonding labels on plastic bottles is described. The adhesive comprises a blend of a styrenic block copolymer, an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, a tackifying resin, petrolatum and optionally a wax. The use of petrolatum instead of mineral oil provides for better elevated temperature resistance than traditional formulations.
