HOT MELT ADHESIVE PRESPARATION HAVING HUMIDITY DEGREE INDICATING PROPERTY

摘要

A wetness indicating hot-melt adhesive which changes color in response to the presence of moisture is disclosed, which contains 20 to 70 wt. % of polymer, about 28 to 10 wt. % of which is water sensitive polymer; 25 to 60% of organic acid which is selected from a high acid fatty acid, or rosin acid, or a combination thereof; 0 to 40% of water soluble wax; 0 to 60 wt. % of glycerlo monostearate; 0 to 55 wt. % of hydrogenated castor oil; 0 to 15 wt. % of polyalkylene wax; 0 to 60 wt. % of compatible plasticizer; and a wetness indicating agent which changes the color of the composition in response to moisture therein. The time of response of the color change can be controlled from aboutone second to a somewhat larger value as desired.
