Abstract

The present invention provides a hot-melt adhesive agent which is capable of applying at low temperature, and has an excellent adhesiveness to a polyolefin substrate, and a disposable product obtained by employing the hot-melt adhesive agent. A hot-melt adhesive agent comprising a thermoplastic block copolymer (A) which is a copolymer of vinyl class aromatic hydrocarbons and conjugated diene compounds, wherein the thermoplastic block copolymer (A) comprises the following component (A1) and component (A2): (A1) a radial type styrene block copolymer having a styrene content of 35 to 45% by weight and a diblock content of 50 to 90% by weight, and having a viscosity at 25° C. as a 25% (by weight) toluene solution of not more than 250 mPa·s; and (A2) a styrene block copolymer having a styrene content of less than 30% by weight, and having a viscosity at 25° C. as a 25% (by weight) toluene solution of more than 250 mPa·s.

Claims (21)

1. A hot-melt adhesive agent consisting of:

(A) a mixture of a copolymer of vinyl class aromatic hydrocarbons and conjugated diene compounds consisting of (A1) a three-branched radial styrene-butadiene block copolymer having a styrene content of 35 to 45% by weight and a diblock content of 50 to 90% by weight, and having a viscosity at 25° C. as a 25% (by weight) toluene solution of not more than 250 mPa·s; and (A2) a linear styrene-isoprene block copolymer having a styrene content of less than 30% by weight, and having a viscosity at 25° C. as a 25% (by weight) toluene solution of more than 250 mPa·s;

(B) a tackifier resin; and

(C) an optional component selected from the group consisting of a plasticizer, a stabilizer, fine particle fillers, or mixtures thereof

wherein the viscosity of the hot-melt adhesive agent is less than 5,000 mPa·s, measured with a Brookfield RVT spindle No. 27 at 140° C.,

wherein the peel strength of the hot melt adhesive agent is greater than 2,000 gf/inch on PET film, and

wherein the rubber thread maintenance rate of the hot-melt adhesive agent is greater than 80% after one hour.

2. The hot-melt adhesive agent according to claim 1 , wherein the tackifier resin is a α-methylstyrene resin.

3. An article comprising the hot-melt adhesive agent according to claim 1 .

4. The article of claim 3 , which is a disposable product.

5. A hot-melt adhesive agent consisting essentially of:

(A) a mixture of a copolymer of vinyl class aromatic hydrocarbons and conjugated diene compounds consisting of (A1) a three-branched radial styrene-butadiene block copolymer having a styrene content of 35 to 45% by weight and a diblock content of 50 to 90% by weight, and having a viscosity at 25° C. as a 25% (by weight) toluene solution of not more than 250 mPa·s; and (A2) a linear styrene-isoprene block copolymer having a styrene content of less than 30% by weight, and having a viscosity at 25° C. as a 25% (by weight) toluene solution of more than 250 mPa·s;

(B) a tackifier resin;

(C) a plasticizer; and

(D) a stabilizer

wherein the viscosity of the hot-melt adhesive agent is less than 5,000 mPa·s, measured with a Brookfield RVT spindle No. 27 at 140° C.,

wherein the peel strength of the hot melt adhesive agent is greater than 2,000 gf/inch on PET film, and

wherein the rubber thread maintenance rate of the hot-melt adhesive agent is greater than 80% after one hour.

6. The hot-melt adhesive agent according to claim 5 , wherein the tackifier resin is a α-methylstyrene resin.

7. An article comprising the hot-melt adhesive agent according to claim 5 .

8. The article of claim 7 , which is a disposable product.
