<p>A cold water resistant adhesive composition is disclosed which exhibits an optimum balance of cold water resistance and removability when employed for labeling of bottles which will be used under conditions of extreme humidity. The adhesive comprises a mixture of starch, styrene-maleic anhydride resin, peptizer, water and sufficient alkali to obtain a pH of 8.0 to 11.0 with at least 20% of the alkali present in the form of a "fixed alkali".</p> |
