Abstract
Abstract Films, sheets, molded components and parts of other shaped articles formed from a plastomer or elastomer are bonded together or to a substrate employing as an adhesive an adhesive composition heated to 50°-250° C. and consisting essentially of: A. 5-95% by weight of solid or semi-solid atactic poly-α-olefin or mixture of poly-α-olefins having a reduced specific viscosity of 0.05-5.0 dl./g.; B. 95-5% by weight of liquid atactic polyolefin or mixture of polyolefins having a viscosity of 150-1,000,000 cp./20° C.; and C. optionally, up to 50% by weight of filler.
