| abstract |
An adhesive composition comprises a polymer or copolymer including one of 1) a plurality of C3 or larger alpha-olefin units wherein the polymer has an average number of branch points less than one per alpha-olefin unit; and 2) a plurality of C2 alpha-olefin units wherein the polymer has an average number of branch points greater than 0.01, said adhesive being selected from the group consisting of a pressure sensitive adhesive, a hot melt adhesive, and a polymerized glue. Optionally, the polymer can be crosslinked. Articles of the invention include the adhesive tapes, labels, and adherents comprising a coating of the polymerizable composition of the invention. |
