This invention relates to an adhesive including (a) a copolymer including butene,
at least 40 mol % propylene, and from 0 to 30 mol % of a termonomer selected from
ethylene and C5 to C20 linear, branched or cyclic alpha olefins,
wherein the copolymer has (i) a weight average molecular weight of 100,000 or less;
(ii) a number average molecular weight of 20,000 or less; (iii) an Mw/Mn of 5 or
more; and (iv) a viscosity of 8000 mPa.sec or less at 190 C.; and (b) a hydrocarbon
resin, and/or (c) a polypropylene having at least 30% crystallinity having a viscosity
of 1500 mPa.s or less at 190 C., or a tactic polypropylene having a viscosity
of 1500 mPa.s or less at 190 C., provided that if the tactic polypropylene
is not present, then the hydrocarbon resin is a cyclopentadiene-based hydrocarbon
resin. This invention also relates to blends of the copolymer described above and
isotactic polypropylene without hydrocarbon resin.
