Claims
- 1. Remoistenable adhesive compositions comprising:
- (a) 55-99.5% of an ethylene vinyl acetate resin latex having a T.sub.g of 15.degree. to -10.degree. C., the latex having been emulsified in an aqueous solution of dextrin;
- (b) 0.5-5% of a humectant; and
- (c) 0-40% dextrin.
- 2. The adhesive composition of claim 1 wherein the humectant is selected from the group consisting of sugars, sorbitol, glycerine and related derivatives, propylene glycol and related glycols and glycol ethers.
- 3. The adhesive composition of claim 1 wherein a dextrin is added in the dextrin emulsified ethylene vinyl acetate resin latex in an amount of 8 to 25% by weight of the adhesive.
- 4. The adhesive composition of claim 1 wherein dextrin is added in an amount of 15 to 20% by weight.
- 5. The adhesive composition of claim 1 wherein the dextrin is amioca dextrin.
- 6. In a method for the preparation of a remoistenable adhesive composition comprising ethylene vinyl acetate resin latices and humectants, the improvement which comprises prolymerizing the ethylene vinyl acetate in the presence of an aqueous solution of dextrin as a protective colloid.
- 7. In a method for the preparation of a remoistenable adhesive composition comprising ethylene vinyl acetate resin latices and humectants, the improvement which comprises polymerizing the ethylene vinyl acetate in the presence of an aqueous solution of dextrin as a protective colloid and post-adding up to 40% additional dextrin to the adhesive thereby providing an adhesive characterized by superior adhesion to difficult stocks.
