Abstract

A process for making hot melt adhesive compositions comprising the steps of: PA1 (a) dissolving hot melt adhesive components into a room temperature or higher solution of a water soluble substituted (e.g. NMP) to form a water soluble substituted lactam (e.g. NMP)/hot melt adhesive component solution; PA1 (b) adding said solution formed in step (a) into water to form a solid; PA1 (c) extracting out the water soluble substituted lactam (e.g. NMP) from said solid formed in step (b); PA1 (d) drying of said solid wherein water soluble substituted lactam e.g. NMP, is leached out as in step (c) to form the hot melt adhesive.
