Abstract

A hot-melt adhesive composition includes a styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer and a styrene-isoprene-styrene triblock copolymer. The hot-melt adhesive composition enables melt processing at a relatively low temperature because of having a low viscosity properties are property and thus exhibits excellent adhesive strength and heat resistance while improving the processability. In particular, the melt adhesive composition has excellent mechanical properties after curing, and thus can be used in various industrial fields.

Claims (29)

1. An adhesive member comprising:

a substrate; and

an adhesive layer formed on at least one side of the substrate,

wherein the adhesive layer is formed by a hot melt adhesive composition comprising:

A1) a styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer, wherein

a1) a content of the styrene-based unit is 30 to 50 wt %,

a2) a diblock content is 60 to 65% by weight, and

a3) a melt flow index measured according to ASTM D1238 at 190° C./5 kg is 30 g/10 min or more;

A2) a styrene-isoprene-styrene triblock copolymer, wherein

a21) a content of the styrene-based unit is 30 to 50 wt %,

a22) a diblock content is less than 5% by weight, and

a23) a melt flow index measured according to ASTM D1238 at 190° C./5 kg is 30 to 50 g/10 min;

B) a tackifier; and

C) a plasticizing oil,

wherein the hot melt adhesive composition has a softening point measured according to the ASTM D36 standard of 85° C. or higher, and

wherein the hot melt adhesive composition has a melt viscosity at 140° C. of 7000 cPs or less, and a viscosity change rate at 160° C. of 15% or less, and

wherein the tackifier is included in an amount of 200 to 400 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer and the styrene-isoprene-styrene triblock copolymer and

wherein a thickness of the adhesive layer is 10 to 100 μm.

2. The adhesive member according to claim 1 , wherein the hot melt adhesive composition has a tensile strength value of 1 N/mm 2 or more when preparing a test specimen according to the ASTM D638 standard.

3. The adhesive member according to claim 1 , wherein the tensile strength value of the hot melt adhesive composition is 1.1 N/mm 2 to 1.5 N/mm 2 .

4. The adhesive member according to claim 1 , wherein the styrene-isoprene-styrene triblock copolymer is included in an amount of 1 to 30 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer.

5. The adhesive member according to claim 1 , wherein the tackifier includes one or more of an at least partially hydrogenated rosin ester-based compound or an at least partially hydrogenated dicyclopentadiene-based polymerized petroleum resin.

6. The adhesive member according to claim 1 , wherein the plasticizing oil includes a petroleum-based mineral oil.

7. The adhesive member according to claim 1 , wherein the plasticizing oil is included in an amount of 50 to 150 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer and the styrene-isoprene-styrene triblock copolymer.

8. The adhesive member according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive member has a T-peel strength value according to the ASTM D1876 standard of 10 N/in or more.

9. The adhesive member according to claim 8 , wherein the T-peel strength value of the adhesive member according to the ASTM D1876 standard is about 10 N/in to about 15 N/in.

10. The adhesive member according to claim 1 , wherein the diblock content in the styrene-isoprene-styrene triblock copolymer is less than 1 wt % by weight.

11. The adhesive member according to claim 1 , wherein the melt flow index of the styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer measured according to ASTM D1238 is about 40 g/10 min to about 50 g/10 min.

12. The adhesive member according to claim 1 , wherein the melt viscosity at 140° C. of the hot melt adhesive composition is about 5500 cps to 6500 cps.
