An objective of the present invention is to provide a hot melt composition having a high form maintaining property at a high temperature and being in excellent adhesion to a substrate and in disassembly. The present invention relates to a hot melt composition comprising: (A1) a styrene-ethylene-ethylene/propylene-styrene block copolymer (SEEPS) and (B1) a hydrocarbon-based oil having an aniline point of 135° C. or more.

A rheology control agent for a curable composition may include: a diamide compound (A) and/or a hydrogenated castor oil (A′), the diamide compound (A) being obtained by condensation reaction between a diamine component (A1) and a monocarboxylic acid component (A2); and a polyamide compound (B) obtained by polycondensation of an amine component (B1) and a carboxylic acid component (B2). The diamine component (A1) may be selected from the group consisting of diamines with 2 to 12 carbon atoms. The monocarboxylic acid component (A2) may be selected from the group consisting of hydrogenated castor oil fatty acids and linear saturated fatty acids. The polyamide compound (B) may have a weight-average molecular weight from 2,000 to 21,000. A cured product of the curable composition may be used for a sealant or an adhesive.

A tackifier composition comprising at least one thermoplastic hydrocarbon resin and an antioxidant composition is provided; wherein a portion of the volatile organic compounds in the thermoplastic hydrocarbon resin has been removed; wherein the antioxidant composition comprises at least one primary antioxidant and at least one secondary antioxidant; and wherein the levels of individual volatile organic compound monitored in the tackifier composition are less than about 0.5 ppm as measured by GC/MS headspace analysis. Processes for producing the tackifier composition are also provided as well as adhesives comprising the tackifier compositions.

A hotmelt composition comprising, a low molecular weight metallocene-catalyzed polymer, a high molecular weight polymer, an amorphous polyolefin and a tackifier. The hotmelt composition is particularly useful in absorbent articles such as diapers. The hotmelt composition provides especially good nonwoven-film bonds but can also be used for nonwoven-nonwoven bonds.

Asphalt binders and bituminous compositions comprising oligomeric additives such as alkoxysilane oligomers compounds. In certain embodiments the oligomeric compounds may be useful as adhesion promoters for use with asphaltic bitumens and aggregates in road paving applications.

A pressure sensitive adhesive construct comprising: (A) a backing substrate; and (B) a pressure sensitive adhesive composition disposed on the backing substrate, wherein the pressure sensitive adhesive composition includes an ultraviolet radiation-cured polymer made from: (a) at least one epoxidized plant oil, at least one epoxidized animal fat, or a mixture thereof; (b) at least one dicarboxylic acid, at least one polycarboxylic acid, or a mixture thereof; and (c) at least one compound that contains both one carbon-carbon double bond (C═C) and at least one carboxylic acid group.

A unique flexible container combination comprises a viscoelastomeric thermoset overlay disposed upon a flexible supportive base. Desirably, the viscoelastomeric thermoset overlay possesses exceptional adhesive, cohesive and releasability properties. In some embodiments, the flexible container combination can also exhibit antipathogenic, cleansability and/or reusability properties. The flexible container combination can maintain an adhered stowable item in an immobilized position until intentionally removed therefrom by a user. In some embodiments, the flexible container combination can be folded or rolled into a rolled-up configuration.
