A blend of a SEPS (Styrene-Ethylene/Propylene-Styrene) thermoplasticnelastomers (TPE), SIS (Styrene-Isoprene-Styrene) TPE's, fully hydrogenatednplasticizers, hydrogenated tackifying resins, optionally an α-methyl-styrene (AMS)nresin, hydrogenated hydrocarbon resins, antioxidants and stabilizers, andnoptionally a wax is suitable for use as a clear hotmelt pressure sensitive adhesivencomposition for the manufacture of a transparent pressure sensitive tapes withnhigh resistance to UV-exposure. Preferred applications of these adhesives includenUV-resistant, non staining removable pressure sensitive tapes or pressurensensitive a hook-and-loop type fasteners. |
