Hot melt adhesive composition and use thereof

A hot melt adhesive comprising:

• (a) 15 to about 25 wt % of a single polymer component, and not a blend of different (co)polymers produced by metallocene catalysis polymerization, consisting of a polypropylene-polyethylene (co) polymer having (i) a propylene content of about 81 to about 91 wt % of the (co)polymer (iii) a melt flow rate of 40 to about 150 g/10 min as measured at 230° C./2.16 kg ASTM D1238, (iv) a melting point of less than about 65° C. and (v) a heat of fusion value of less than about 20 J/g;
• (b) 50 to about 60 wt % of a tackifier;
• and
• (c) up to about 30 wt % of a wax and a plasticizer;
• wherein the adhesive has (i) both initial and aged bond strength at 2.5 gsm add-on greater than 100 g/in, (ii) Green strength per static peel time greater than 300 seconds at 2.5 gsm add-on, (iii) a tan(o) value of greater than about 30 at 140° C., 10 rad/s, and (iv) a melt viscosity of about 2,000 to about 11,000 cps at 150° C., measured in accordance with ASTM 3236-88;
• and
• wherein the adhesive is sprayable at 140-155° C.
