Tackified amorphous-poly-alpha-olefin-bonded structures
First Claim
1. A bonded structure comprising:
- a first substrate;
a second substrate; and
an adhesive composition bonding the first substrate and the second substrate to one another at an add-on level between about 10 and about 15 grams/meter2, wherein the adhesive composition comprises an amorphous poly-alpha-olefin and a tackifier selected from at least one of the group consisting of;
petroleum distillates, rosin, rosin esters, and polyterpenes, and the bonded structure has a dynamic peel strength between about 150 and about 1000 grams per 25 millimeters.

Abstract
A bonded structure including one or more substrates bonded together with a tackified amorphous poly-alpha-olefin adhesive composition. One method of making such a bonded structure is carried out by applying a tackified amorphous poly-alpha-olefin adhesive composition to one or more substrates at a temperature of about 170 degrees Celsius or lower, and joining the substrates to themselves or to one another. The bonded structure has a dynamic peel strength between about 400 and about 1000 grams per 25 millimeters. The bonding efficiency of the bonded structure renders the bonded structure suitable for incorporation into a variety of articles, including personal care products, health/medical products, and household/industrial product, for example.

18. An article comprising:
-
a film; a nonwoven web; and an adhesive composition bonding the film and the nonwoven web to one another at an add-on level between about 2 and about 5 grams/meter2 thereby forming a bonded structure, wherein the adhesive composition comprises a polypropylene-1-butene amorphous poly-alpha-olefin and a C5 hydrocarbon tackifier, and the bonded structure has an end seal strength between about 60 and about 600 grams per 25 millimeters, and the article is selected from the group consisting of personal care products, health/medical products, and household/industrial products, wherein the adhesive composition has a Brookfield viscosity between more than 10000 and about 15000 centipoises at 190 degrees Celsius. - View Dependent Claims (20)
