- HM-PSA hot melt pressure sensitive adhesives
- Hot melt adhesives have long shelf life and usually can be used after prolonged period of storage. Some of the disadvantages involve thermal load of the substrate, limiting use to substrates not sensitive to higher temperatures, and loss of bond strength at higher temperatures, up to complete melting of the adhesive. This can be reduced by using a reactive adhesive that after solidifying undergoes further curing e.g., by moisture (e.g., reactive urethanes and silanes), or is cured by ultraviolet radiation.
- moisture e.g., reactive urethanes and silanes
- Hot melt glues usually comprise a composition with various additives.
- the composition is usual- ly formulated to have a glass transition temperature (differentiating the glassy from the rubbery state) below the lowest service temperature and a suitably high melt temperature as well.
- the degree of crystallization determines the open time of the adhesive.
- the melt viscosity and the crystallization rate (and corresponding open time) can be tailored for the application. Higher crystallization rate usually implies higher bond strength.
- Some polymers can form hydrogen bonds between the chains, forming pseudo-cross-links strengthening the polymer. Other polymers form pseudo cross links between blocks of similar nature such as SBS or SIS.
- the nature of the polymer, tackifier, resin and additive influences the nature of mutual molecular interaction and interaction with the substrate.
- Polar groups, hydroxyls and amine groups can form hydrogen bonds with polar groups on substrates like paper or wood or natural fibers.
- Nonpolar polyolefin chains interact well with nonpolar substrates. Good wetting of the substrate is essential for forming a satisfying bond between the adhesive and the substrate. More polar compositions tend to have better adhesion due to their higher surface energy.
- the distribution of molecular weights and degree of crystallinity influences the width of melting temperature range. Polymers with crystalline nature tend to be more rigid and have higher cohesive strength than the corresponding amorphous ones, but also transfer more strain to the adhesive-substrate interface. Higher molecular weight of the polymer chains provides higher tensile strength and heat resistance. Presence of unsaturated bonds makes the adhesive more susceptible to autox- idation and UV degradation and necessitates use of antioxidants and stabilizers.
- Increase of bond strength and service temperature can be achieved by formation of cross-links in the polymer after solidification. This can be achieved by using polymers undergoing curing with residual moisture (e.g., reactive polyurethanes, silicones), exposition to ultraviolet radiation, electron irradiation, or by other methods.
- polymers undergoing curing with residual moisture e.g., reactive polyurethanes, silicones
- Some of the possible base materials of hot-melt adhesives include the following:
- Polyolefins (polyethylene (usually LDPE but also HDPE; HDPE has higher melting point and better temperature resistance), atactic polypropylene (PP or APP), polybutene-1 , oxidized polyethylene, etc.) provide very good adhesion to polypropylene, good moisture barrier, chemical resistance against polar solvents and solutions of acids, bases, and alcohols.
- Polyolefins have low surface energy and provide good wetting of most metals and polymers.
- Polyolefins made by metallocene catalyzed synthesis have narrow distribution of molecular weight and correspondingly narrow melting temperature range.
- PE and APP are usually used on their own or with just a small amount of tackifiers (usually hydrocarbons) and waxes (usually paraffins or microcrystalline waxes.
- Polybutene-1 and its copolymers are soft and flexible, tough, partially crystalline, and slowly crystallizing with long open times. The low temperature of recrystalliza- tion allows for stress release during formation of the bond.
- Amorphous polyolefin (APO/APAO) polymers are compatible with many solvents, tackifiers, waxes, and polymers; they find wide use in many adhesive applications.
- APO hot melts have good fuel and acid resistance, moderate heat resistance, are tacky, soft and flexible, have good adhesion and longer open times than crystalline polyolefins.
- APOs tend to have lower melt viscosity, better adhesion, longer open times and slow set times than comparable EVAs. Some APOs can be used alone, but often they are compounded with tackifiers, waxes, and plasticiz- ers (e.g., mineral oil, poly-butene oil). Examples of APOs include amorphous (atactic) propylene (APP), amorphous propylene/ethylene (APE), amorphous propylene/butene (APB), amorphous propylene/hexene (APH), amorphous propylene/ethylene/butene.
- APP amorphous (atactic) propylene
- APE amorphous propylene/ethylene
- APIB amorphous propylene/butene
- APH amorphous propylene/hexene
- Styrene block copolymers also called styrene copolymer adhesives and rubber-based adhesives
- SBC Styrene block copolymers
- They are frequently used in pressure-sensitive adhesive applications, where the composition retains tack even when solidified; however non-pressure-sensitive formulations are also used.
- They usually have A-B-A structure, with an elastic rubber segment between two rigid plastic endblocks. The A-B-A structure promotes a phase separation of the polymer, binding together the endblocks, with the central elastic parts acting as cross-links; thus SBCs do not require additional cross-linking.
- Styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) polymers are used in high-strength PSA applications.
- Styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS) polymers are used in low-viscosity high-tack PSA applications.
- Styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene (SEBS) are used in low self-adhering non- woven applications.
- hot melt adhesive examples include the following: tackifying resins (e.g., rosins and their derivates, terpenes and modified terpenes, aliphatic, cycloaliphatic and aromatic resins (C5 aliphatic resins, C9 aromatic resins, and C5/C9 aliphatic/aromatic resins), hydrogenated hydrocarbon resins, and their mixtures, terpene-phenol resins (TPR, used often with EVAs).
- Tackifiers tend to have low molecular weight, and glass transition and softening temperature above room temperature, providing them with suitable viscoelastic properties; waxes, e.g.
- microcrystalline waxes e.g., fatty amide waxes or oxidized Fischer-Tropsch waxes, increase the setting rate.
- waxes lower the melt viscosity and can improve bond strength and temperature resistance; plasticizers (e.g., benzoates such as 1 ,4-cyclohexane dimethanol dibenzoate, glyceryl tribenzoate, or pentaerythritol tetrabenzoate, phthalates, paraffin oils, polyisobutylene, chlorinated paraffins, etc.); antioxidants and stabilizers (e.g. hindered phenols, phosphites, phosphates, hindered aromatic amines). These compounds protect the material from thermal degradation and degradation by ultraviolet radiation both during service life, compounding and in molten state during application.
- plasticizers e.g., benzoates such as 1 ,4-cyclohexane dimethanol dibenzoate, glyceryl tribenzoate, or penta
- antioxidants for hot melt adhesives are largely leveraged from plastics appli- cation as can be seen when technical data sheets of well-known Irganox® blends are listed, which are applicable for adhesive application.

The present invention further pertains to the use of a stabilizer composition as defined herein for stabilizing a hot melt adhesive against degradation by one or more of light, oxygen and heat, wherein the hot melt adhesive material is selected from polyolefins such as amorphous poly- alpha-olefins, metallocene based polyolefins, styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS) block co-polymer, styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) block co-polymer, styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene (SEBS), polyacrylate, acryl-copolymer, ethylene vinyl acetate, polyamide, polyester, polyure- thane, polyimide, silane terminated polyolefin, silane terminated polyether, silane terminated polyacrylate and silane terminated polyurethane. Hot melt adhesive (HMA), also known as hot glue, is a form of thermoplastic adhesive that is supplied in different forms ranging from solid cylindrical sticks of various diameters up to pillows or blocks in siliconized paper, designed to be melted in an electric hot glue machine (i.e. melting pots, heated ring mains, guns etc). The application device uses a continuous-duty heating element to melt the plastic glue, which may be pushed through a gun by a mechanical trigger mechanism, or directly by the user. The glue squeezed out of the heated nozzle is initially hot enough to achieve low enough viscosity to wet the surface appropriately. The glue is tacky when hot, and solidifies in a few seconds to one minute. Hot melt adhesives can also be applied by slot dies, curtain coating or spraying. There are also hot melt adhesives that maintain their tackiness after dispensing even at room temperature. Those hot melts are commonly referred to as hot melt pressure sensitive adhesives (HM-PSA)
Hot melt adhesives have long shelf life and usually can be used after prolonged period of storage. Some of the disadvantages involve thermal load of the substrate, limiting use to substrates not sensitive to higher temperatures, and loss of bond strength at higher temperatures, up to complete melting of the adhesive. This can be reduced by using a reactive adhesive that after solidifying undergoes further curing e.g., by moisture (e.g., reactive urethanes and silanes), or is cured by ultraviolet radiation.
Hot melt glues usually comprise a composition with various additives. The composition is usual- ly formulated to have a glass transition temperature (differentiating the glassy from the rubbery state) below the lowest service temperature and a suitably high melt temperature as well. The degree of crystallization determines the open time of the adhesive. The melt viscosity and the crystallization rate (and corresponding open time) can be tailored for the application. Higher crystallization rate usually implies higher bond strength. Some polymers can form hydrogen bonds between the chains, forming pseudo-cross-links strengthening the polymer. Other polymers form pseudo cross links between blocks of similar nature such as SBS or SIS.
The nature of the polymer, tackifier, resin and additive influences the nature of mutual molecular interaction and interaction with the substrate. Polar groups, hydroxyls and amine groups can form hydrogen bonds with polar groups on substrates like paper or wood or natural fibers.
Nonpolar polyolefin chains interact well with nonpolar substrates. Good wetting of the substrate is essential for forming a satisfying bond between the adhesive and the substrate. More polar compositions tend to have better adhesion due to their higher surface energy. The distribution of molecular weights and degree of crystallinity influences the width of melting temperature range. Polymers with crystalline nature tend to be more rigid and have higher cohesive strength than the corresponding amorphous ones, but also transfer more strain to the adhesive-substrate interface. Higher molecular weight of the polymer chains provides higher tensile strength and heat resistance. Presence of unsaturated bonds makes the adhesive more susceptible to autox- idation and UV degradation and necessitates use of antioxidants and stabilizers.
Increase of bond strength and service temperature can be achieved by formation of cross-links in the polymer after solidification. This can be achieved by using polymers undergoing curing with residual moisture (e.g., reactive polyurethanes, silicones), exposition to ultraviolet radiation, electron irradiation, or by other methods.
Some of the possible base materials of hot-melt adhesives include the following:
Polyolefins (PO) (polyethylene (usually LDPE but also HDPE; HDPE has higher melting point and better temperature resistance), atactic polypropylene (PP or APP), polybutene-1 , oxidized polyethylene, etc.) provide very good adhesion to polypropylene, good moisture barrier, chemical resistance against polar solvents and solutions of acids, bases, and alcohols. Polyolefins have low surface energy and provide good wetting of most metals and polymers. Polyolefins made by metallocene catalyzed synthesis have narrow distribution of molecular weight and correspondingly narrow melting temperature range. PE and APP are usually used on their own or with just a small amount of tackifiers (usually hydrocarbons) and waxes (usually paraffins or microcrystalline waxes. Polybutene-1 and its copolymers are soft and flexible, tough, partially crystalline, and slowly crystallizing with long open times. The low temperature of recrystalliza- tion allows for stress release during formation of the bond. Amorphous polyolefin (APO/APAO) polymers are compatible with many solvents, tackifiers, waxes, and polymers; they find wide use in many adhesive applications. APO hot melts have good fuel and acid resistance, moderate heat resistance, are tacky, soft and flexible, have good adhesion and longer open times than crystalline polyolefins. APOs tend to have lower melt viscosity, better adhesion, longer open times and slow set times than comparable EVAs. Some APOs can be used alone, but often they are compounded with tackifiers, waxes, and plasticiz- ers (e.g., mineral oil, poly-butene oil). Examples of APOs include amorphous (atactic) propylene (APP), amorphous propylene/ethylene (APE), amorphous propylene/butene (APB), amorphous propylene/hexene (APH), amorphous propylene/ethylene/butene.
Styrene block copolymers (SBC), also called styrene copolymer adhesives and rubber-based adhesives, have good low-temperature flexibility, high elongation, and high heat resistance. They are frequently used in pressure-sensitive adhesive applications, where the composition retains tack even when solidified; however non-pressure-sensitive formulations are also used. They usually have A-B-A structure, with an elastic rubber segment between two rigid plastic endblocks. The A-B-A structure promotes a phase separation of the polymer, binding together the endblocks, with the central elastic parts acting as cross-links; thus SBCs do not require additional cross-linking. Styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) polymers are used in high-strength PSA applications. Styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS) polymers are used in low-viscosity high-tack PSA applications. Styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene (SEBS) are used in low self-adhering non- woven applications.
The usual other ingredients of hot melt adhesive include the following: tackifying resins (e.g., rosins and their derivates, terpenes and modified terpenes, aliphatic, cycloaliphatic and aromatic resins (C5 aliphatic resins, C9 aromatic resins, and C5/C9 aliphatic/aromatic resins), hydrogenated hydrocarbon resins, and their mixtures, terpene-phenol resins (TPR, used often with EVAs). Tackifiers tend to have low molecular weight, and glass transition and softening temperature above room temperature, providing them with suitable viscoelastic properties; waxes, e.g. microcrystalline waxes, fatty amide waxes or oxidized Fischer-Tropsch waxes, increase the setting rate. One of the key components of formulations, waxes lower the melt viscosity and can improve bond strength and temperature resistance; plasticizers (e.g., benzoates such as 1 ,4-cyclohexane dimethanol dibenzoate, glyceryl tribenzoate, or pentaerythritol tetrabenzoate, phthalates, paraffin oils, polyisobutylene, chlorinated paraffins, etc.); antioxidants and stabilizers (e.g. hindered phenols, phosphites, phosphates, hindered aromatic amines). These compounds protect the material from thermal degradation and degradation by ultraviolet radiation both during service life, compounding and in molten state during application.
Current selection of antioxidants for hot melt adhesives is largely leveraged from plastics appli- cation as can be seen when technical data sheets of well-known Irganox® blends are listed, which are applicable for adhesive application. However, for hot melt adhesives (HMA) application the base polymers are combined with tackifiers and oil for pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA) or wax for non-PSA application.
The stabilization chosen only by the base polymer is not giving optimal results for hot melt adhesives. Typically the selection of stabilizers is driven by the base polymer which is giving to little attention to tackifier and waxes which are important for the adhesion and application window. Especially for those hot melt adhesives where there is a trend to lower application temperatures like metallocene based polyolefin (mPO) HMA the selection of plastic stabilizers is not appropriate. With application temperatures going down from 170 °C to 150° C or less the classical secondary stabilization with phosphites are no longer acting synergistically. The same trend is also observable for acrylic hot melt pressure sensitive adhesives (HM-PSA) where application temperatures can be as low as 120 °C.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to identify radical-scavenger combinations that are working synergistically already at lower temperatures and take account of the stabilization of the tackifier and the extenders like oil or wax at the same time.
It has been found that the combination of hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) with hindered phenols is working particularly well for the stabilization of HMAs.

Test Results
The hot melt formulation is prepared using a sigma-blade kneader. Tackifier, resins and oil or wax are placed in the 150 ml chamber of a "Werner & Pfleiderer" kneader (Type LUK 025). The kneader is evacuated and heated up. The kneader is started at a temperature of 100 °C with 100 rpm. When a temperature of 165 °C is reached kneading is continued for further 30 min.
Tests are performed according to ASTM D 4499 (DIN EN ISO 10363). Results are given in Gardner color number index acc. ASTM D-6166. Higher numbers mean higher color, i.e. higher oxidation. The effectiveness of a stabilizer package can be ranked by the color number. Keeping lower numbers for a longer time mean better effectiveness of the radical scavenger package.
The adhesion is tested using a probe tack tester (Testing Machines Inc., machine 80-02-01 ) according to ASTM D2979-95 (DIN 55405). Higher gram value means higher tack and is preferred.
The viscosities are measured using a CAP 2000+ Viscometer (Brookfield) according to ASTM D 3236. Higher remaining values after the temperature aging means lesser damage to the polymer and is preferred.
