Abstract
The invention relates to adhesive compositions, preferably those for pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, comprising an adhesive polymer and, as tackifier or plasticizer, a zwitterionic compound. The zwitterionic compounds include those of formula I ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are each alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, aminoalkyl or aryl which may be interrupted in the alkyl chain by one or more oxygen atoms, R.sup.4 is H or OH, PA1 Z.sup..theta. is CO.sub.2.sup..theta. or SO.sub.3.sup..theta., PA1 x and y are each 0, 1 or 2 provided that the sum of x and y is less than or equal to 4.
