A pressure sensitive hot melt adhesive is provided including at least one olefin block copolymer, a hydrogenated hydrocarbon tackifier, and a plasticizer. The adhesive is free from any oil containing constituents and the pressure sensitive label with the adhesive exhibits desired adhesion performance in low temperature as well as in normal temperature for a host of different substrates. The adhesive also resistant to yellowing, water-whitening and is non-swelling. The adhesive and the label enables recycling in recycling streams when the face material and/or substrate being labeled is also of olefin based material.

The present invention relates to a method of preparing a multiblock copolymer. This method comprises i) providing a block copolymer comprising at least one PA block and at least one PB block, where PA represents a polymer block comprising one or more units of monomer A and PB represents a polymer block comprising one or more units of monomer B, with monomers A and B being the same or different, where the block copolymer contains a chain transfer agent moiety (CTA); ii) providing a radically polymerizable monomer C; and iii) polymerizing the block copolymer with monomer C under conditions effective to achieve a number average degree of polymerization (N.sub.n) for the multiblock copolymer of up to 100,000 without gelation. The present invention relates to a multiblock copolymer comprising at least one PA block, at least one PB block, and at least one PC block. PC block is positioned between PA block and PB block, where PC block is a rubber block, and where PA represents a polymer block comprising one or more units of monomer A, PB represents a polymer block comprising one or more units of monomer B, and PC represents a polymer block comprising one or more units of monomer C, with monomers A and B being the same or different.
