US Classification:
428343000
Abstract:
A hot melt adhesive is provided that is useful in the production of textiles, such as a tuft carpet, contains a blend of constituents that allows synthetic carpet members to be fully recycled without first separating the adhesive from the carpet members. The adhesive includes (a) from about 5 to about 30 weight % of a copolymer of an alkyl acrylate having from 2 to 18 carbon atoms; (b) from about 5 to about 50 weight % of a wax and desirably a C10 wax; (c) up to about 75 weight % of a filler; and (d) from about 0.1 to about 10 weight % of an aliphatic carboxylic acid having from 8 to 24 carbon atoms.
