A
hot melt adhesive composition, comprising a blend of components including about 5% to about 50% by weight of an olefin block
copolymer; about 10% to about 70% by weight of a first tackifying resin having a
softening point of at least about 95° C.; about 0 to 65% of a second tackifying resin that is different than the first tackifying resin; about 0% to about 60% by weight of a
plasticizer; about 0% to about 20% by weight of an aromatic reinforcing resin having a
softening point equal to or higher than 115° C.; about 0.1% to about 5% by weight of a stabilizer; and about 1% to about 40% by weight of a secondary
polymer that is different from the olefin block
copolymer, the first and second tackifying resins and the reinforcing resin, having relatively low
crystallinity, which low
crystallinity is equal to or less than 250 Joules /
gram, wherein the components total 100% by weight of the composition, and the
viscosity of the composition is equal to or less than about 20,000 mPa·s at 163° C. Laminates, especially those used in disposable soft goods, and methods of making such laminates using the
hot melt adhesive composition are also described. The
adhesive composition and / or laminate may be used in making a variety of end products such as a
disposable diaper, a
sanitary napkin, a
bed pad, a
bandage, a
surgical drape, a tape, a
label, a plastic sheet, a nonwoven sheet, a
paper sheet, a
cardboard, a book, a filter, or a
package.
