Abstract
Hot melt adhesive compositions suitable for a variety of applications, especially in nonwoven disposable articles, are prepared by blending various adhesive components with a bacteriostat. The bacteriostat is incorporated into the adhesive compositions in sufficient amounts to inhibit the growth of various microorganisms, particularly bacteria. The preferred bacteriostat is triclosan in amounts of 0.01% to 5% by weight.
