A method of producing a high solids adhesive is provided wherein a buffered latex emulsion, such as, for example, styrene butadiene latex emulsion buffered to a pH of 11.0 using caustic agents, is combined with a non-emulsified mixture of dissolving process oils and tackifying resins and mineral fillers. The resultant adhesive has a solids content greater than previously achieved in the industry and has exceptional adhesive characteristics such as increased bond strength, improved durability, better aging, faster drying, improved water resistance and improved freeze resistance. High solids content is achieved by taking advantage of the excess emulsifiers in the latex emulsion and adding the remaining constituent components directly to the stabilized latex emulsion.
