Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
105 words
A solvent-based adhesive useful for adhering foamed polystyrene sheets to substrates, said adhesive comprising: (a) a linear or radial ABA-type block copolymer where the A blocks are polymer blocks of monoalkenyl arenes, the B blocks are polymer blocks of conjugated dienes, the weight average molecular weight of said A blocks is about 10,500 to about 12,500, and the weight percent of monoalkenyl arene in said block copolymer is between about 16 percent and about 26 percent; and (b) a solvent comprising a mixture of 5 to 30 weight percent of a cycloaliphatic solvent and 95 to 70 weight percent of a paraffinic or isoparaffinic solvent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
