Water stable, oil modified, non-reactive alkyd resins are disclosed herein. It has now been found that such resins can be used, for example, as the main component of structural adhesives employed in disposable absorbent articles. Therefore, the present structural adhesive need not employ plasticizers, tackifiers and conventional polymers required by hot melt adhesives typically used as structural adhesives. Further, in the manufacture of disposable absorbent articles, structural adhesives containing water-stable, oil-modified, non-reactive alkyd resins can be processed at the high temperatures required for structural adhesives containing reactive alkyds. Does not require application. |
