Fire resistant hot-melt adhesives containing modified polyethylene

摘要

The hot-melt adhesives of the present invention comprise a blend of at least one modified polyethylene resin, a tackifying resin and a combination of halogenated organic compounds and inorganic compounds containing antimony, boron or tin. These hot-melt adhesives have a novel combination of properties including excellent aging properties in combination with improved strength and low viscosity, and they are fire resistant or self-extinguishing.
