A substantially solvent-free adhesive composition consists essentially of an elastomer and tackifier, a metal oxide and, optionally, a plasticizer. The elastomer is selected from the group consisting of polar elastomers and unsaturated elastomers which have at least 5 mole percent unsaturation, said elastomer being a non-crystalline elastomer or an elastomer which has a slow rate of crystallization such that after a time period of at least 100 hours has elapsed following subjecting the elastomer to a temperature of 70 DEG C. for 30 minutes, the elastomer has a room temperature Shore A hardness of less than 60. The adhesive compositions can be formed into a shaped article, such as of a tape, film, sheet or tubular sleeve, if desired. The compositions have high adhesive strength for bonding together a variety of substrates. The adhesive is particularly useful with a dimensionally recoverable article, such as a shrinkable sleeve, to bond the recovered sleeve to a substrate such as an electric cable.
