Abstract
Hot melt adhesive compositions, comprising PA1 (a) a radial multiarmed block copolymer (AB).sub.n X, wherein A is a block predominantly derived from a monovinylaromatic compound, B is a block predominantly derived from butadiene and which optionally has been partially or completely hydrogenated, PA2 X is the residue of a multifunctional coupling agent, PA2 n is in the range of from 3 to 6, PA1 (b) a linear block copolymer AB, the components (a)+(b) being present in an amount of 100 parts by weight, PA1 (c) a tackifying resin, which is compatible with the blocks B, in an amount of from 100 to 500 parts by weight, PA1 (d) a plasticizer in an amount of from 100 to 300 parts by weight, PA1 (e) an antioxidant-UV stabiliser in an amount from 0.1 to 5 parts by weight, characterised in that the content of bound monovinylaromatic monomer in the block copolymers is at least 20%, PA1 the vinyl content in the polymerised butadiene is at least 25%, PA1 the diblock content, relative to the weight of components (a) and (b) is in the range of from 6 to 25%, PA1 the diblock has an apparent molecular weight in the range of from 70,000 to 100,000 and the radial multiarmed block copolymer has an appar…
