Abstract

The present invention relates to a pressure sensitive adhesive composition comprising a thermoplastic polyurethane and a tackifying resin, which thermoplastic polyurethane is derived from an aromatic diisocyanate and/or a cycloaliphatic diisocyanate, a chain extender, and a polymeric diol and/or a hydrogenated polydiene diol and a hydrogenated polydiene mono-ol, and wherein the number average functionality of the diol and mono-ol ranges from 1.2 to 1.8. Further, the invention relates to a thermoplastic polyurethane for use in pressure sensitive adhesives and to articles containing the pressure sensitive adhesives.
