This invention is directed to an adhesive composition comprising:n A. 80-98% by weight, based upon the total amount of adhesive drynsolids, of at least one latex copolymer comprising:n (1) 20-55% by weight, based upon the weight of thencopolymer, of at least one brominated aromatic monomer, (2) 5-15% by weight, based upon the weight of thencopolymer, of a monomer selected from the group consisting of glycidyl acrylate,nglycidyl methacrylate, and mixtures thereof, and (3) 40-60% by weight, based upon the weight of thencopolymer, of at least one non-brominated monofunctional(meth)acrylatenmonomer: (4) 0-10% by weight, based upon the weight of thencopolymer, of a monomer selected from the group consisting of acrylonitrile,nmethacrylonitrile, and mixtures thereof; B. 0-10% by weight, based upon the total amount of adhesive drynsolids, of at least one crosslinking agent; C. 1-10% by weight, based upon the total amount of adhesive drynsolids, of at least one antimony oxide; and D. 0-15% by weight, based upon the total amount of adhesive drynsolids, of at least one viscosity modifier. |
